Partners with stakeholders to ensure tests are analytically sound and conclusions are credible and defensible.
• Applies advanced analytical techniques across store‑level and customer‑level data, including segmentation analysis, market‑level performance modeling, and econometric approaches. Contributes to more advanced modeling efforts (e.g., Marketing Mix Modeling) where applicable.
