• Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Machine Learning Engineering, Data Engineering, and Data Platform groups, to understand business requirements, deliver data-driven solutions, and enhance data capabilities.

• Designing and conducting experiments to test hypotheses, validate findings, and ensure rigorous data science execution, covering scoping, building, testing, implementation, maintenance, tracking, and optimisation of predictive models.

• Communicating findings and insights effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring data-driven decisions are well-understood.

Now let’s talk about you:

Must have:

• Strategic leadership: You demonstrate ability to strategically lead a workstream, owning the technical roadmap, and applying system-level thinking.

• Communication / Team work: You excel in collaborating within a complex team environment, managing relationships with multiple internal and external stakeholders. You maintain clear and consistent communication in a remote setup, using digital tools to foster teamwork and inclusivity.

• Growth mindset: A strong desire to learn and continuously improve, embracing challenges as opportunities for growth and adapting to new information and approaches.

• AI usage proficiency: You use AI tools and platforms to enhance productivity and streamline workflows.

• Proficiency in all stages of the Data Science lifecycle and relevant tooling (e.g. Python, SQL, Common modelling approach)

• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Microsoft Azure.

• Mentorship: Guide other team members, fostering skill development and encouraging a collaborative learning environment.

• Proven experience in building and optimising a variety of predictive models in commercial environments, preferably with exposure to demand forecasting.

• Expertise in Inventory Management will be highly regarded but not essential.

The benefits are good too!

• An exclusive discount card for BWS, Dan Murphy’s, Woolworths, BIG W and other Endeavour Group brands, including our ALH pubs
