• Data Visualization: Design, build, and maintain dashboards, reports, and visual analytics tools using platforms such as Power BI to monitor research outcomes, laboratory workflows, project performance, and capability metrics.
• Data Integration and Quality: Develop and improve data pipelines, integrations, templates, and structured data models that increase data quality, consistency, traceability, and artificial intelligence readiness across Laboratory Information Management Systems, SharePoint, digital bundle books, and related platforms.
• Model Development: Apply data science, statistics, and digital technologies to build or support predictive, classification, trend-detection, and automated analysis models for consumer insights, product screening, and performance evaluation.
• Insights and Recommendations: Translate analytical outputs into clear, actionable recommendations for scientists, project teams, and functional leaders, escalating complex or ambiguous issues when appropriate.
• Artificial Intelligence and Automation: Build, configure, and deploy artificial intelligence-enabled and workflow automation solutions, including Copilot agents, Power Automate flows, Power Apps, and low-code or no-code tools.
• Governance and Stewardship: Maintain intake workflows, evaluation criteria, responsible-use documentation, solution inventories, and adoption materials aligned with organizational standards.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with consumer scientists, laboratory teams, Information Technology, and other cross-functional stakeholders to identify digital use cases, define requirements, troubleshoot issues, and deliver practical solutions.
• Laboratory Method Development: Develop and digitize product screening and performance evaluation methods, including standardized protocols, data capture tools, analysis templates, and reporting outputs.
• Project Management: Contribute to project planning, requirements definition, testing, documentation, deployment, and adoption while independently managing assigned workstreams, priorities, risks, and stakeholder updates.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve tools, workflows, and data practices and bring forward ideas that advance the digital transformation platform.

• Basic understanding of data architecture, including data lakes, application programming interfaces, structured and unstructured data, and metadata management.
• Demonstrated ability to solve routine to moderately complex problems, manage assigned workstreams with limited guidance, and communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong collaboration, documentation, prioritization, and continuous improvement skills.
• Commitment to data quality, traceability, responsible use, and compliance with internal standards.

• Master’s degree in a related technical field.
• Familiarity with statistical methods used in consumer research, including t-tests, analysis of variance, and regression.
• Experience with experimental design and analysis, including A/B testing or Design of Experiments.
• Experience in consumer packaged goods, fast-moving consumer goods, or Research & Development environments.
• Experience building artificial intelligence agents, using generative artificial intelligence tools, or supporting artificial intelligence-enabled business workflows.
