  • Experienced: Youve spent time in eCommerce, Digital Sales, or Analytics within a retail or CPG environment. You understand pricing econometrics and A/B testing.
  • Grit-Driven: You are highly motivated to apply high-grade quantitative skills to fast-paced, evolving business challenges requiring agility.
