So, if you want to be part of this team and take on new challenges, we are looking for you!

We are looking for Data Scientist to join our Space & Formats Center of Excellence team, where data is the starting point,  but the focus is on optimizing physical store space and adapting store formats to our customers. We believe we will be #betterwithyou!

Reporting directly to the Area Manager, your mission will be to analyze, model, and solve complex problems related to the optimal management of physical store space and product categories, supporting strategic and tactical decisions regarding the format, layout, and value proposition of MC’s current and future stores, always based on customer behavior.

• Translate technical results into actionable insights, clearly and structurally communicated through presentations (PowerPoint) and oral communication to different stakeholders;
• Work closely with business teams, ensuring that analysis translates into practical decisions regarding space, categories, and store formats. 

So, bring with you…

• An academic background in Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or similar fields, with postgraduate education (Master’s or PhD) in data analysis being valued;
• 3 to 5 years of experience in advanced data analysis roles applied to business decision-making;
