## About the role

Every bad forecast has a physical consequence. Unnecessary goods are manufactured, shipped, and stored. Emergency air freight is needed for misallocated products. Poor production planning means workers show up with nothing to do, or work frantic overtime. Inefficiency is everywhere.

## What they're looking for

- Background in ML foundations (i.e. PhD in CS theory, statistics, econometrics, operations research / systems engineering, math, or theoretical physics)
- Hands on experience training and deploying production ML models
- First-line or second line management experience minimum (remit is to scale a team from 5-20 researchers)
