Full job description

What you’ll do

We’re looking for an Applied ML Lead Scientist who blends predictive modelling & complex analysis with AI strategy and scalable delivery. You will own high-impact models (forecasting, optimization, causal inference) and shape the patterns, platforms, and guardrails that let teams ship AI at scale (agentic workflows, MLOps). You’ll partner across Merchandising, Dealers, and Engineers to turn models into value, deployment faster, create reusable components, and measurable business outcomes.

Outcomes & KPIs (what success looks like)

· Business impact: Incremental sales & margin lift, markdown recovery ratio, inventory turns, stock-out reduction.

· Model performance: Forecast/optimization accuracy, causal validity, lift vs. baseline, drift & stability metrics.

· Scale & reuse: # of workloads on common patterns (feature/embedding stores), service reliability (SLOs), time-to-production.

· Adoption & enablement: Utilization of ML/AI features in Merch/Stores workflows, stakeholder satisfaction, training coverage.

· Governance & risk: Policy conformance, evaluation/guardrail incidents prevented, cost-to-value adherence.

Key Responsibilities

1) Predictive Modelling & Decision Science

Lead development of forecasting, price/markdown/assortment optimization, propensity and uplift models.
Design experimentation & causal inference (A/B, quasi-experiments, synthetic controls) to prove impact.
Translate complex analysis into clear decisions and playbooks for Merch, Stores, and Dealer partners.

2) AI Strategy & Scaling

Define applied AI technical direction for priority initiatives (agentic systems, recommendations).
Establish reusable patterns (prompt/agent orchestration, retrieval, evaluation) and champion platform leverage (e.g., feature/embedding stores, registries).

3) Agentic AI & Applications

Guide the build of task-oriented agents and pipelines that combine reasoning, tool use, and workflow automations.
Integrate agents into business surfaces (e.g., Teams apps, dashboards, operational tools) with safe autonomy and observability.

4) MLOps, Reliability & Cost

Partner with Engineering to productionize models/services (CI/CD, serving, monitoring, evals, rollback).
Partner with QA teams to measure and optimize latency, availability, cost-to-value, and model lifecycle

5) Governance & Risk Management

Partner with governance teams to embed AI/DS governance (data use, privacy, safety, bias, evals) into development and release processes.
Guide team to document decisions, assumptions, and model cards; drive remediation when risks surface.

6) Leadership & Influence

Lead cross-functional delivery with notable complexity/risk; mentor DS peers and analysts.
Persuade senior stakeholders with crisp narratives and quantified trade-offs

What you bring to the team

5+ years across data science & ML, including retail/operations use-cases (or adjacent large-scale domains).
Deep fluency in Python/SQL, classical ML, time-series, optimization, causal inference, and experimentation.
Practical experience with LLMs/RAG (prompt/agent orchestration, retrieval design, evals/guardrails).
Hands-on MLOps (serving, monitoring, drift detection, model registries, CI/CD) on a modern cloud stack.
Experience with Databricks/MLflow/feature stores; vector DBs; cost/perf tuning for AI workloads.
Prior work building agentic or workflow-automation systems.
Track record influencing at VP/SVP levels, translating technical complexity into business outcomes.

Our typical hiring range is between $79,000.00 - 131,000.00 CAD Annual. Salary decisions are also dependent on other factors such as your experience, job-related knowledge, skills and competencies, market location, industry benchmarks, internal equity and other role-specific requirements.
