At Adaptfy, we play a pivotal role in bringing SHV’s digital vision to life. From optimising supply chains across Europe to enhancing operational efficiency in South America, we connect the dots for SHV, shaping a data-driven future for the entire family of companies

What we offer

• Interact with senior stakeholders at our clients on regular basis to drive their business towards impactful change.

• Working with Data Scientists to take data throughout its lifecycle - acquisition, exploration, data cleaning, integration, analysis, interpretation, and visualization.

• Become part of a fast-growing international and diverse team.

What you will do

• Manage client interactions and play a key role in building and maintaining client relationships.

• Apply knowledge of data science concepts to translate business problems to analytics solutions with clear output and with foreseen impactful outcomes.

What you will bring

• Master (or Ph.D.) degree in a quantitative field with a focus on data analysis (e.g. econometrics, AI, mathematics, physics, and other exact sciences).

• Sharp thinking ability to be able to quickly differentiate major contributors from irrelevant details and to hierarchically structure information residing in the data under analysis.

• Robust knowledge of statistical concepts, accompanied by expertise with a set of analytical tools ranging from databases (e.g. SQL, BigQuery, noSQL) to programming languages (e.g. R, Python), and from data visualization (e.g. Tableau, PowerBI) to machine learning.

• Proven ability to manage projects with expert team members and to provide inspiring guidance to juniors in the team.

• 5-7 years of consulting experience or relevant industry experience, with at least 1+ years at a project lead level.
