      • Perform data extraction, cleaning, and transformation to prepare datasets for analysis.
      • Implement advanced analytical methods including regression, classification, clustering, and time series analysis.
      • Develop automated machine learning pipelines to improve data workflows and analytics efficiency.
      • Provide data storytelling to communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders and drive data-driven business decisions.
      Qualifications and experience:
      • Five or more years of experience in data science roles, with significant experience in the FMCG or retail industries.
      • Strong expertise in machine learning, statistical modelling, and predictive analytics.
      • Proficient in Python, R, or similar languages for data science and analytics.
      • Hands-on experience with SQL for data extraction and manipulation.
      • Expertise in data visualisation tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent.
      • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure, and familiarity with deploying models in a cloud environment.
      • Ability to communicate complex findings through clear, actionable insights and data storytelling.
