Applied Scientist II, Partner Growth Experience

EU INTech Partner Growth Experience(PGX) is seeking an Applied Scientist to lead the development of machine learning solutions for the EU Consumer Electronics business. In this role, you will push the boundaries of advanced ML techniques and collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to create innovative buying and forecasting solutions for the business.
These new models will primarily benefit Smart Retail project that aims to revolutionize CPFR (Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment) Retail operations, driving automation, enhancing decision-making processes, and achieving scale across eligible categories such as PC, Home Entertainment or Wireless. Smart Retail solution is composed of an internal interface automating selection management mechanisms currently performed manually, followed by the creation of a vendor-facing interface on Vendor Central reducing time spent collecting required inputs. The projects key functionalities include (i) a Ranging model operating from category to product attributes level, pre-ASIN creation and when selection is substitutable, (ii) an advanced forecasting model designed for new selection and accounting cannibalization, (iii) ordering inputs optimization in line with for SCOT guideline compliance, and intelligent inventory management for sell-through tracking. Smart Retail success also depends on its integration with existing systems (SCOT) to minimize manual intervention and increase accuracy.
