Our client is seeking a mathematically rigorous Data Scientist to drive the intelligence behind their Global Agentic AI Program. This role is for a strategist who prioritises algorithmic depth and business impact. You will analyse store-level, product-level, and supplier data to prove business hypotheses and design the logic that guides our autonomous agents' decision-making processes.
Key Responsibilities:
Design and deploy high-impact models for performance diagnosis, customer segmentation, demand forecasting, and uplift/impact measurement.
Continuously optimise model performance, scalability, and reliability. You will be responsible for maintaining data quality, managing model drift, and establishing rigorous retraining/refresh cadences.
Partner with the LLM team to define the decision boundaries and reward functions for autonomous agents.
Use statistical data to analyse business cases, ensuring every AI deployment has a clear, proven viability path.
Lead A/B testing and multivariate testing for AI-driven retail features to ensure continuous improvement in customer engagement and conversion.
Act as a bridge between technical execution and business needs. Validate assumptions, interpret complex results for non-technical audiences, and ensure AI outputs match real-world decision workflows.
Demonstrate a deep mathematical understanding of models to ensure stability and explainability to non-technical business stakeholders.
Requirements:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, Advanced Analytics, or a related quantitative field.
5+ years of proven experience in Data Science or Advanced Analytics, with a track record of moving projects from research to production.
Expert proficiency in Python or R, and SQL. Possess a deep mathematical foundation in statistics, probability theory, and optimization algorithms.
Previous experience navigating a large-scale retail or commercial environment is highly preferred, specifically in handling complex, multi-region datasets.
Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to independently align metrics, manage expectations, and drive end-to-end delivery.
Excellent communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to translate the "why" behind complex algorithmic models into actionable insights for global business leaders.
Solid functional knowledge of GenAI and LLM systems (e.g., RAG patterns, evaluation frameworks, and prompt engineering).
Professional English fluency is mandatory for global collaboration. Proficiency in Cantonese or Mandarin is a significant advantage for regional partnerships.
