Ultra high-end multi-state department store chain looking to hire TWO highly technical AND analytical folks to provide insight into customer behavior to support decision making relating to promotions, events and marketing programs for all brands both in stores and online. Yes, Manager title with no direct reports (better to think of the role as managing a set of critical processes). Your primary daily work will revolve around writing R-based queries based on core customer ?browse and buy? variables in support of a range of POS, clickstream, email, etc. initiatives for all of the retail groups? brands. Although R, Base SAS, and SAS/STAT constitute the core query and analysis platform, I?m guessing you also know one or more of Hive, Pig, or Cascading and possibly some of the ?secondary? analysis platforms. This isn?t ?work in a vacuum? role with minimal human contact; you?ll also ?consult? with the advanced analytic team on deep data mining initiatives including developing and/or implementing predictive models, segmentation strategies, and optimization algorithms with a targeted performance result of increasing revenue. It should also be clear that having a good hands-on sense of the data visualization landscape with all its philosophies, strategies and tools is going to make you more valuable when you?re asked to present the analyses to higher ups. So?there are 2 spots all reporting to the same easy-going Director of Advanced Analytics (whom we identified, engaged, and recruited). Sure wish we could offer relocation but sadly not? If interested, let me know...
