Responsibilities

• Use AI tools to improve efficiency and automate analytical workflows
• Develop and test agentic workflow prototypes that reduce manual effort on high-friction business processes

• Ability to approach problems in a structured and logical way
• Interest in consumer products, retail, or e-commerce
