Demand Forecasting VCreaTek is recruiting a Data Scientist with strong analytical and communication skills to join our team. - The forecasts generated are used to initiate the manufacturing of millions of dollars in inventory, establish labour shifts, and estimate the company’s future financial performance. The work is complex and of considerable importance with regards to optimisation and automation.
- As part of our data science team, you will research and implement inventive, scalable machine-learning solutions, with a strong focus on driving improvements directly into production systems.
- The ideal candidate will demonstrate a culture of analytical ‘curiosity’ and provide novel data driven insights on business questions.
Key Responsibilities
- A typical day will involve collaborating with software engineers and business groups.
- Your work will involve utilizing Python and SQL to implement and improve upon demand forecasting algorithms, by testing model improvements, running computational experiments, and fine-tuning model parameters. Deployment of sophisticated multivariate algorithms will improve upon existing approaches and discovering new data sources to further build upon current capabilities.
- As a successful data scientist in demand forecasting, you would be an analytical problem solver who enjoys diving into data, is passionate about investigations and algorithms, and can credibly interact between technical teams and business partners.
- A key capability in the collaboration is to have users of the forecasts understand how it is built up, its expected behaviour and what is and is not considered, thus building trust in the models to drive usage.
