Wayfair is in the midst of a rapid buildout of physical assets across Europe. The strategic buildout enables unique supply chain efficiencies and customer delivery experiences. To execute this strategic vision, Wayfair needs to create innovative demand forecasting models and inventory management systems that ensure efficient deployment of capital for both Wayfair and its 5000+ suppliers.

European demand forecasting uses in-depth analytics and business acumen to make smart and strategic demand and supply planning decisions. The team collaborates cross-functionally with multiple teams across the company, ranging from Data Science, Operations Research, Product, Engineering, CastleGate Operations/Account Management, and Merchandising/ Category Management/ Promotions.

Within that team you will manage and own the product demand forecast which supports the entire European business. We offer you exciting puzzles to wrap your head around, a friendly and engaging team from which you can learn plenty (and who will want to learn from you) and an exciting atmosphere in a group where business outcomes really depend on your contribution. What You’ll Do : Design & execute algorithms and systems to maintain and improve demand forecasting Drive continuous improvement to machine learning models by sourcing and testing additional classifiers and features Use big-data systems (Vertica, Hadoop, Hive) to monitor customer buying patterns, product in stock rates and more Drive strong relationships across stakeholder teams to define the roadmap and prioritize resources effectively Conduct analyses and build advanced reporting using Python, SQL, R and Excel to showcase performance trends and program improvements to senior management Lead/mentor a strong team of analysts What You’ll Need : Previous experience in quantitative roles (including direct interactions with business stakeholders and managing direct reports) Advanced experience with Excel and proficiency in SQL (or a system of equal complexity) Proficiency and professional experience in programming required (e.g. R, VBA, Java, Python) Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Data Science or other technical field High attention to detail and proven ability to manage multiple, competing priorities simultaneously Intense intellectual curiosity – strong desire to always be learning Analytical, creative, and innovative approach to solving open-ended problems Highly collaborative, team-player attitude
