Job description

Job Summary:

Global Partners is hiring a Staff Data Scientist to be the senior technical individual contributor for pricing and demand science and applied AI in the Central Data and Analytics Organization. Pricing decisions are made every day across our fuel and convenience store business, and this role builds the models, the experiments, and the AI systems that inform them.

The core of the role is demand and price response modeling at scale, delivered as probabilistic forecasts that pricing teams and downstream applications use. You will own the modeling approach, the evaluation that decides whether a model is ready for production, and the path from forecasting toward automated pricing decisions.

Measurement is the other half of the role. You will design and analyze pricing field experiments that establish how demand responds to price, and present the results and their limits to leadership and business stakeholders.

You will also raise the technical standard of the team: defining how AI and agentic systems are evaluated, setting orchestration and observability practices for production workloads, reviewing designs on work delivered by others, and mentoring other data scientists.

At Global Partners, business starts with people. Since 1933, we’ve believed in taking care of our customers, our guests, our communities, and each other—and that belief continues to guide us.

TheGlobal Spiritis how we work to fuel that long term commitment to success. As a Fortune 500 company with 90+ years of experience, we’re proud to fuel communities—responsibly and sustainably. We show up every day with grit, passion, and purpose—anticipating needs, building lasting relationships, and creating shared value.
