Requirements
  • 1–3 years of experience in data science, quantitative analysis, or machine learning.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related quantitative field.
  • Expertise in causal inference frameworks—especially Double ML, A/B testing, and other counterfactual methods.
  • Strong coding skills in Python or R; experience with SQL, Jupyter, and version control (Git).
  • Comfortable building data pipelines and working with large datasets.
  • Proficiency with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or custom GPTs, and a drive to integrate them into your work.
  • Curious, fast-learning, and deeply motivated to solve business problems through analysis and automation—not just reporting.
Responsibilities
  • Conduct causal analysis and treatment effect estimation using Double ML, causal forests, and uplift modeling to guide high-stakes decisions (e.g., promotions, marketing strategy, inventory management).
  • Build AI-powered internal tools that automate analytical tasks and surface insights (e.g., GPT-powered report generation, automated anomaly detection).
  • Develop and own dashboards and data pipelines that drive real-time visibility across sales, marketing, operations, and finance.
  • Partner directly with business leaders to translate fuzzy questions into testable hypotheses, and then deliver answers that inform action.
  • Identify opportunities to automate recurring analyses via custom GPTs, scripts, or workflow platforms like n8n.
  • Work closely with engineering and data platform teams to improve data cleanliness, accessibility, and documentation.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with workflow automation (e.g., n8n, Make, Zapier) is a plus.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Backcountry adds outdoor enthusiasts, omnichannel stores, and strong category loyalty.
  • CSC can reuse merchandising, fulfillment, and customer support across adjacent brands.
  • Amazon Connect adoption shows AI automation already reduces service costs and improves efficiency.

What critics are saying

  • Debt-funded acquisitions increase refinancing pressure if integration costs outrun operating profit.
  • A failed Backcountry turnaround burns cash on inventory, merchandising, and fulfillment.
  • Brand sprawl raises misallocation risk across inventory, pricing, and customer service.

What makes CSC Generation unique

  • Genesis unifies data, automation, and shared services across acquired brands.
  • CSC buys overlooked retailers and converts them into digital-first businesses.
  • Backcountry expands a portfolio already spanning Sur La Table, One Kings Lane, and others.
