AI-First Data Analyst

Employment Type: Full Time

Position Overview

CSC Generation is seeking an exceptional, AI-native Data Analyst to join our mission of building the most advanced AI-driven retail operating system. This highly technical, hands-on role involves building causal models, applying advanced machine learning techniques (e.g., Double ML), and developing internal data tools to empower our brands—Sur La Table, One Kings Lane, and Backcountry—with fast, intelligent decision-making. You will be embedded with senior operators, reporting directly to a brand CEO or platform leader, supporting critical business decisions. This role is ideal for an early-career individual who is exceptionally gifted, ambitious, and eager to grow rapidly.

What You Get To Do Every Day

• Conduct causal analysis and treatment effect estimation using Double ML, causal forests, and uplift modeling to inform high-stakes decisions (e.g., promotions, marketing strategy, inventory management).
• Build AI-powered internal tools to automate analytical tasks and surface insights (e.g., GPT-powered report generation, automated anomaly detection).
• Develop and own dashboards and data pipelines for real-time visibility across sales, marketing, operations, and finance.
• Partner directly with business leaders to translate complex questions into testable hypotheses and deliver actionable answers.
• Identify opportunities to automate recurring analyses using custom GPTs, scripts, or workflow platforms like n8n.
• Collaborate with engineering and data platform teams to enhance data cleanliness, accessibility, and documentation.

What You Bring to the Role

• 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, particularly 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.
• Experience with workflow automation (e.g., n8n, Make, Zapier) is a plus.

Why This Role is Different

This role places you at the center of business decisions, not downstream from them. As our AI-First Data Analyst, you will shape how the business thinks, work directly with executives, build impactful tooling, and automate repetitive tasks to focus on strategic challenges. We are looking for someone to build the next generation of internal data products, leveraging AI for a 10x speed advantage.

What’s In It For You?

Joining CSC Generation offers the opportunity to significantly impact the business. You will be challenged, stretched, and supported to achieve rapid professional growth. In addition to competitive compensation, we offer:

• Executive Access: Work directly with brand CEOs and senior leadership, solving real business problems and receiving mentorship from top operators.
• AI-First Skill Building: Gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI tools, building a modern tech stack that enhances your marketability.
• Accelerated Career Path: High performers are recognized and provided with opportunities for rapid advancement.
