About the Role
Own the unit economics of network costs by building models and optimizations that determine the most cost-efficient configuration for every line on our networks. Validate models against financial data and translate analysis into actionable business decisions, emphasizing business judgment alongside mathematical expertise.
Responsibilities
- Build and run cost models and optimizations to determine the most efficient plan configuration across the subscriber base.
- Validate cost models against carrier invoices and financial data, investigating and resolving discrepancies.
- Monitor, forecast, and manage pooled usage and network spend, recommending corrective actions with quantified impact.
- Model pricing and contract scenarios on actual usage data to support commercial decision-making.
- Move recommendations into production through automated, auditable workflows and verify outcomes.
- Design, build, and maintain underlying data models using dbt, Redshift, and related tools.
- Use AI tooling to accelerate modeling, analysis, SQL/dbt work, and documentation.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in data science, decision science, operations research, pricing/optimization, or cost analytics, ideally with recommendations carrying real financial impact.
- Hands-on experience formulating and solving optimization problems (linear programming, cost modeling, marginal-cost analysis, or similar) that informed real business decisions.
- Strong business judgment, with experience owning a commercial or cost recommendation end-to-end.
- Strong SQL skills, including experience with large datasets, complex transformations, and performance optimization.
- Proficiency in Python.
- Experience validating analytical models against external financial data (invoices, bills, or settlements).
- Demonstrated use of AI in day-to-day workflow, such as LLM-assisted coding or prompt-driven data exploration.
- Strong communication skills, with a bias toward clear recommendations and measurable business impact.
