PURPOSE OF THE ROLE The Global Data Scientist will be the technical leader responsible for developing advanced analytical models and machine learning systems that optimize pricing decisions and promotional strategies across 5,500+ locations with millions of SKUs globally. This hands-on technical leadership role requires you to spend 60-70% of your time building models, writing production-quality code, and architecting ML systems, with the remaining time on technical mentorship and translating complex models into actionable insights for commercial teams. You will work from Madrid or Milan with hybrid flexibility. RESPONSIBILITIES Advanced Modeling & Algorithm Development * Develop price elasticity models using econometric techniques (regression, mixed effects models, instrumental variables) to estimate demand curves at SKU-category-location levels * Build dynamic pricing algorithms that optimize prices in near-real-time based on competitor actions, demand signals, inventory levels, and
