About Palira Inc.

Palira Inc. is a US-incorporated Analytics and AI enablement company working with global clients across CPG, Retail, and Healthcare. We are a lean, client-facing team. Every engagement we own runs end to end, from understanding the business problem to making sure the solution is live inside the client's ecosystem. We are growing quickly, adding logos and talent year over year.

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on, business-oriented Data Scientist who can walk into an ambiguous situation, ask the right questions, design the right solution, and deliver something the client actually acts on. This is an individual contributor role with full ownership, not a people management role despite the title.

What You Will Do

- Own data science engagements end to end: problem definition, model development, deployment, and stakeholder communication
- Choose the right model for the problem and defend that choice rigorously, drawing on literature, past work, or the client's existing models
- Build and deploy models across forecasting, pricing, and marketing analytics for global CPG, Retail, and Healthcare clients
- Write production code in new or existing environments, and keep it serviced and updated for continuous use
- Give data engineering teams a clear brief on what data is needed and in what format




- Present findings and model outputs in a way that drives decisions, not just reports
- Monitor and improve deployed models based on real-world performance

Must Have

- Hands-on data science experience, owning your own workstreams
- Strong in forecasting, statistics, and machine learning, with clear judgement on which method fits which problem
- Proficient in Python or R, and SQL on large datasets
- Familiarity with CPG, FMCG or Retail data: media, sales, financials, SKU and brand architecture, and standard FMCG KPIs
- Experience deploying models into production that stakeholders actually used
- Exposure to modern deployment stacks such as Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, or Databricks
- Strong communication. You can explain a regression model to a brand manager without losing them
- Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-changing requirements

Valuable To Have

- Experience working with US clients
- POS, consumer, or syndicated data
- Using AI tools to work faster
