Shaping the Future of Retail: Join Catalyst Brands as a Data Scientist

 Catalyst Brands Careers: Data Scientist – Data & Analytics Team

At Catalyst Brands, we believe that data is the pulse of retail innovation. Our Data Science team, housed within the broader “Data and Analytics” department, is a cross-functional powerhouse. We solve complex problems that touch every corner of our business—from digital customer journeys to global supply chain logistics.

We are looking for a Data Scientist who balances technical mastery with business acumen. If you have the creativity to extract insights from massive datasets and the communication skills to translate them for non-technical leaders, you belong at Catalyst Brands.

 About the Role: Bridging the Gap Between Data and Retail

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Collaboration: Partner with decision-makers in Marketing, Store Operations, and Supply Chain to identify high-value analytical opportunities.

• End-to-End Solutioning: Translate business questions into analytical frameworks, ideate solutions, and build proof-of-concept (PoC) models with measurable success metrics.

• Scaling & Operationalisation: Lead the transition from successful PoC to enterprise-level implementation, ensuring long-term value capture.

• Visualisation & Insights: Use tools like Tableau and R Shiny to share complex findings in a clear, structured manner.

• Cross-Functional Synergy: Collaborate with IT partners on data acquisition and the deployment of intelligent decision systems.

• Championing Best Practices: Stay current with the retail analytics landscape and drive the adoption of data science standards across the organisation.

 Qualifications & Technical Requirements

We are seeking a candidate with a strong academic foundation and a track record of applying machine learning to real-world scenarios.

Minimum Requirements:

• Education: Master’s degree in Engineering, Statistics, Physics, or a related STEM discipline.

• Experience: Minimum of 4 years of analytical experience, including at least 2 years in core Data Science.

• Machine Learning: Deep understanding of regression, classification, and neural networks.

• Coding & Databases: High proficiency in Python and R, combined with advanced SQL skills.

• Big Data: Experience working on distributed platforms like Hadoop using Hive.

• Data Visualization: Expertise in Tableau, R Shiny, or MicroStrategy.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with GenAI models and tools.

• A history of research publications in related fields.

• Strong understanding of both cloud and non-cloud data infrastructure.
