  Work in tandem with technical and business stakeholders to design a strategic roadmap, focusing on innovative solutions that achieve ambitious objectives in enhancing profitability and overall growth

  Effectively communicate complex technical concepts and team achievements to senior leadership and non-technical audiences, ensuring clarity and understanding

  Advocate for and implement technical best practices, striking a balance between maintaining high operational standards and fostering rapid innovation

  Actively promote career advancement and skill development within the team, nurturing emerging talent in science, engineering, and product management

  We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:

  Austin, TX, USA | Bellevue, WA, USA | New York, NY, USA

  Basic Qualifications

  Graduate degree in STEM field

  3+ years of experience leading a technical team - scientists, engineers, and/or technical product managers

  5+ years of experience building complex scientific models and systems for business application

  Knowledge of AI/ML topics, especially as it relates to optimization, predictive analytics, and causality

  Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts and solutions to all levels of the organization

  PhD in a quantitative field (e.g. Computer Science, Mathematics, AI/ML)

  5+ years leading large teams (including managers of managers) of technical professionals

  Experience with supply chain concepts, especially optimization around inventory and assortment decisions
