📋 About the job
About the Role: We have a current opening for a Data Scientist and are actively reviewing applications.
The Data Scientist will operationalize advanced analytics and AI capabilities for Ferrero North America.
The position exists to deploy, run and maintain the predictive and machine learning models developed by the Global Data Science & AI team - beginning with end-to-end Marketing Mix Modeling and VGO price elasticity - against North American data, and to translate model outputs into decisions the commercial organization can act on.
As the only data science resource in the region, the role operates with a high degree of autonomy. It works in close technical partnership with Global Data Science while serving NAM business stakeholders directly, without intermediation.
Limits: the position does not own model development, which remains with Global Data Science. It is accountable for model execution, validation, iteration and adoption in the North American market, and for the analytical support that enables the commercial organization to make data-informed decisions.
The position is hybrid and will be located in Parsippany, NJ.

✅BUSINESS TRANSLATION AND STAKEHOLDER PARTNERSHIP. Interpret model outputs and articulate them in business terms to non-technical stakeholders across the commercial organization. Support the decision-making cadence through which models inform commercial planning. Work directly with business teams without intermediation, and address challenges to results with reasoned explanation.
✅DATA PREPARATION AND VALIDATION. Design and apply cleaning, classification and validation procedures for the North American datasets feeding the models — retail sell-out, eCommerce, promotional, pricing and media data. Ensure data integrity sufficient for modeling and work with data engineering to resolve upstream quality issues.
✅ANALYTICAL SUPPORT TO THE COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION. Provide ad hoc analysis and methodological guidance to business partners. Build reporti…
