Responsibilities

  • Demand Forecasting Ownership
  • Own end-to-end demand forecasting for Full Service, from early-season outlook through real-time in-season adjustments
  • Build and maintain models that translate customer funnel signals (trade-up rates, FSO attach, offer acceptance) into workable demand inputs for capacity planning
  • Develop interval-level, daily, and weekly forecasts that feed directly into staffing and partner capacity decisions across internal, JDA, CNX, and other TPA channels
  • Model Development & Innovation
  • Advance forecasting methodology — incorporating time-series models, regression-based approaches, and ML techniques to improve accuracy and reduce forecast error
  • Build scenario models and confidence intervals to support risk quantification (e.g., upside/downside demand cases for peak season planning)
  • Explore and incorporate new signal sources: marketing spend curves, product funnel data, historical tax filing trends, macroeconomic indicators
  • Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Serve as the embedded DS partner for Workforce Management and Capacity Planning, translating model outputs into staffing recommendations and operational levers
  • Partner with Finance on demand-to-revenue reconciliation and capacity cost modeling
  • Collaborate with Marketing and Product on offer strategy and its downstream demand impact (e.g., FSO trade-up promotions, LT offer windows)
  • Operational Analytics & In-Season Support
  • Support real-time in-season analytics — tracking WIP burndown, FSO funnel conversion, and coverage gap signals
  • Build and maintain dashboards and data products that surface demand risk to operational and leadership audiences
  • Contribute to post-season retrospectives on forecast accuracy, bias analysis, and methodology improvements

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in data science or quantitative analytics, with a focus on forecasting, demand planning, or supply-demand modeling
  • Strong proficiency in Python (pandas, statsmodels, scikit-learn) and SQL across large-scale data environments
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying time-series or demand forecasting models in a production or operational context
  • Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and communicate model outputs to non-technical stakeholders, including senior leaders
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments — particularly during high-stakes operational windows
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Statistics, Data Science, Operations Research, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field
