Job Description

The Nordstrom Merchandising Data Science team uses statistical modeling and analysis to solve some of the most critical problems at Nordstrom from what products we offer, to how much we invest in inventory, to how we price our goods.

We are looking for a leader of our Assortment Data Science and Analysis group. As the leader on this team, you will play a key role in developing analytical strategies and predictive models that improve our ability to offer the right products to customers at the right time, driving higher conversion, lower returns, and happier customers. You will also be responsible for the intelligence we share with the merchandisers, buyers, and planners to support their assortment decisions.

The ideal candidate for this role will have a background leading highly productive teams and strong modeling and analytical skills.

Read this first: Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. If you think you have what it takes, but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat to see what skills/experience you are able to bring to this team.

In this role your leadership will drive:

• Development of predictive models to inform product assortment choices

• Building robust, end-to-end model pipelines and production APIs

• Analyzing industry trends and customer style preferences

• Working closely with engineering, product, and merchandising business teams

• Gathering, analyzing, and presenting data to support various business initiatives using Tableau dashboards, applets, and written communication

Basic Qualifications:

• Advanced degree in quantitative field and/or management program

• 3+ years of related analytical and modeling experience

• 1+ years of managerial experience with technical teams

• The ability to implement models and tools through the use of modeling languages (e.g. Python, R)

• Hands-on experience with statistical analysis

• Hands-on experience with machine learning and data-modeling

• Understanding of the software development lifecycle

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with fashion and/or trend related retail business operations

• Experience working effectively with software engineering teams
