Job Description

This role supports the enhancement of an internal pricing and inventory decision‑support tool used by venue operators and site managers. The tool enables users to configure future periods, run pricing scenarios, and apply model‑driven recommendations that forecast demand, inventory needs, and financial impact (revenue, gross profit, margin).

Day to day, the Data Scientist will:

• Build and deploy predictive models that power product‑level pricing and scenario outputs in the tool.
• Analyze POS sales, back‑of‑house and warehouse inventory, IoT/telemetry signals, and vendor data.
• Support scenario analysis and “what‑if” comparisons (e.g., price changes, end‑of‑event markdowns).
• Translate complex model outputs into clear, business‑facing recommendations for non‑technical users.
• Partner closely with Data Engineers to ensure models are production‑ready, scalable, and reliable.
• Produce clean, documented code and lead knowledge transfer for long‑term maintainability.
