## About the role

Lead pricing and trade optimization for RGM, including price elasticity, promo lift, cannibalization, and halo effects, so you can answer "how much should I charge for this?" Build promotion recommendations that get specific. Should a promo run 4 weeks or 8? Should it be a deeper discount, a BOGO, or buy-3-get-1? Which regions, retailers, and accounts should get it?

## What they're looking for

- Required
- 7+ years of applied data science or predictive modeling, including experience leading projects or people
- Deep expertise in statistical modeling and ML for pricing, demand, or forecasting, such as elasticity, causal inference, or uplift modeling
- Experience building optimization or decision-support models, beyond predictions alone
- Strong Python and SQL, plus rigor about validation: you know how to avoid leakage and when to distrust a good-looking result
- The ability to turn a model into a clear recommendation a non-technical business user will act on
