ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Build models and analyses that inform pricing decisions:Estimate price elasticity at the corridor, segment, and channel level using observational and experimental data.

Develop conversion and demand models that account for price, mix, channel, and seasonality.

Quantify the impact of pricing actions on conversion, container utilization, and lifetime revenue.

Design and analyze experiments:Partner with senior data scientists and pricing analysts on A/B test design, including power calculations, exposure rules, and metric definitions.

Run causal analyses (difference-in-differences, synthetic control, regression discontinuity) when randomization is not feasible.

Translate test results into clear recommendations with quantified uncertainty.

Build reproducible analytical assets:Author analyses in Python using modern data tooling (pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels, or similar).

Develop and maintain key data models in Snowflake that other analysts and downstream tools rely on.

Build dashboards and reports that surface model outputs in a form operational users can act on.

Communicate findings clearly:Present results to the Director of Pricing Strategy and Analytics and the broader Revenue Science team.
