About the Job CSC Generation is on a mission to build the most advanced
AI-driven retail operating system in the industry. Our brands—including Sur La
Table, One Kings Lane, and Backcountry—rely on fast, intelligent decision-making
rooted in high-integrity data. We're hiring an AI-First Data Analyst who
combines deep statistical know-how with modern AI tooling and automation
instincts.
This is a highly technical, hands-on role. You’ll build causal models, apply
advanced machine learning techniques (e.g., Double ML), and develop internal
data tools that help our brands operate faster, smarter, and more autonomously.
You’ll be embedded with senior operators and report directly to a brand CEO or
platform leader, supporting real decisions—not dashboards for dashboards’ sake.
This role is designed for someone early in their career, but exceptionally
gifted, ambitious, and AI-native. You’ll grow fast, learn directl
\n
What you get to do every day:
- 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.
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—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.
- Experience with workflow automation (e.g., n8n, Make, Zapier) is a plus.
Why this role is different
- Most data roles live downstream of decisions. This one lives at the center of
them.
- As our AI-First Data Analyst, you won’t just be running models—you’ll be
shaping how our business thinks. You’ll work directly with executives, build
tooling used by dozens of team members, and automate away repetitive insight
work so you can focus on strategic problems.
- We aren’t looking for someone to maintaindashboards. We’re looking for
someone to build the next generation of internal data products—and use AI to
do it 10x faster.
What’s in it for you?
- Joining CSC Generation isn’tjust about having a seat at the table—it’s about
helping redesign the table entirely. You’ll be challenged, stretched, and
supported as you grow faster than you thought possible. In addition to
competitive compensation, we offer:
- Executive Access: Work directly with brand CEOs and senior leadership,
solving real business problems and earning mentorship from top operators.
- AI-First Skill Building:Get hands-on with the most advanced AI tools in the

portfolio of brands.
- Competitive benefits:Paid time off policies, 401(k)/RRSP match,
