This is an exciting time at Mars. We’re using digital, data and user insights to transform our business by finding answers to problems that we’ve often never asked ourselves before. This new Data Scientist key team player will join our ongoing forecasting initiatives focused on improving the accuracy, scope, reach, and usability of forecasting methods globally across all brands. You will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with our business partners, developing and maintaining forecasting models solving both near-term and long-term challenges, and deploying forecasting results into both machine- and human-usable formats.

What are we looking for?
  • Experience developing and deploying forecasting models
  • Python and SQL coding skills are necessary
  • 1+ years of experience as a Data Scientist
  • BA/BS in a technical field (Computer Science, Statistics, Data Science, etc.)
  • An understanding of Agile and product development cycles
  • Experience using key external third party data sources including Nielsen, first party data and consumer surveys
  • Experience querying databases (SQL, Hive) and working with big data platforms such as Hadoop ecosystem (Azure), including in-memory solutions (SAP HANA and Apache Spark)
  • Working knowledge of data visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, D3 to deliver output to the broader business community to improve decision making and productivity
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
What will be your key responsibilities?
  • Inspiring the whole Mars business to adopt data driven decision-making by developing advanced analytics methods is huge in your role. How? By mining vast amounts of data from company databases for insights that will help solve business problems and ultimately make Mars more profitable
  • Working in a small multidisciplinary team alongside the Global Analytics, Data Engineering, Business Translation and AI teams, you’ll partner with Product Owners to solve problems that real users face using advanced digital techniques. That also means closely collaborating with users from our segments and markets around the world to find the right problems to solve. More than that, you’ll use this direct user exposure to invent true ‘firsts. That’s new and emerging approaches that Mars, and maybe even the industry, haven’t seen before
  • A big part of your role will be choosing the most appropriate technique, based on business need and available data, to develop custom data models and algorithms. As part of that, you’ll also create processes and tools to monitor and analyze model performance and data accuracy. All the time, balancing time to deliver with level of detail and accuracy.
What can you expect from Mars?
  • Work with over 130,000 like-minded and talented Associates, all guided by The Five Principles.
  • Join a purpose driven company, where we’re striving to build the world we want tomorrow, today.
  • Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University.
  • An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus.
