**About Us**:
Group Data & Analytics is a recently founded central analytics unit, directly reporting to our CEO. We understand ourselves as a speedboat supporting existing analytical product teams wherever it creates most impact. Paired with being the “incubator” for new products (e.g., from our GenAI roadmap), it is a home for people looking for a fast-paced and eclectic data science environment.
As a Data Scientist (M/F/d) in the Group Data & Analytics unit, you will focus on a set of use cases across our value chain. The products you work on can be internal (e.g., predictive models to optimize our supply chain or LLM-based document retrieval) or customer facing (e.g., our personalization engine or a virtual sales assistant chat bot).
