Data Scientist - Supply Chain & Inventory Analytics

Experience - 4 to 6 years

Location - Chennai

Note - We are looking for candidates who are currently serving notice or Candidates who can join us immediately.

Key Responsibilities:
- Translate ambiguous operational problems stated by planners and engineers, not by data teams — into well-posed modelling problems with transparent success measures.
- Build, validate, and productionise forecasting, optimisation, and regression models on real enterprise data (SAP MM / PM extracts, consumption history, purchase-order history, master data).
- Do the unglamorous data work properly: profiling, reconciliation, deduplication of SKU masters, handling intermittent and lumpy demand, and dealing with sparse or missing history.
- Design fallback and cold-start strategies so that models degrade gracefully rather than producing confident nonsense on thin data.
- Build explainability into every output — a planner must be able to see why a number moved before they will act on it.
- Partner with product, engineering,



and design to ship models into a live application, including the schema contracts, validation rules, and retraining behaviour the application depends on.
- Run model monitoring and periodic retraining; investigate drift and degradation against ground truth from the field.
- Present findings and recommendations to senior client stakeholders — plant heads, materials management, and procurement leadership — in operational language, with the assumptions and limitations stated plainly.
- Document methodology to a standard that survives audit, client scrutiny, and your own handover.

Required Qualifications:
- Experience: 4–6 years in a data science, applied machine learning, or quantitative analytics role, with at least two years working on problems that reached production or live business use.
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Economics,
