Any hotshot #PowerBI developers want to pickup some freelance work from now through February, maybe even beyond that?
No need for any data engineering experience, really looking for someone who's got a eye for great report and dashboard design and deep experience in PowerBI.
All of the heavy lifting, from a data standpoint, will be done for you in the warehouse, you'll be focused on building a great report that our stakeholders will love. There may be some light math you'll setup in PowerBI, but that will be minimal.
Shoot me a DM if you're interested and we can chat.
We've got active projects rolling, so looking for someone to start immediately.
This is NOT a full-time position. We're looking for contractors / freelancers.

Hiring contract-based data scientist(s)!
I'm looking to add one or two media mix modeling experts to the Magnetic Data Science roster.
This is on a freelance / contract basis. Work when you want, where you want!
I'm looking for people with experience in Bayesian-based #MMM in #Python.
Specifically with #pymc and pymc-marketing
(this is what I like, but I could be swayed I guess)
Our MMM projects are specific to the consumer space, in multi-unit systems of distribution with location and/or market level data alignment. All B2C, no pure-ecommerce (at the moment), no direct attribution.
We've currently got 4 active MMM projects, at varying stages of development, in varying industries.
You do not need major experience in data engineering, pipelines, etc. Specifically looking for expertise on the modeling side.
If this is you, or you know someone... Shoot me a DM!
Here's something exciting... We have a new product launching early next year that automates this where/when analysis in retailers like #walmart, #homedepot, #kroger, #lowes, etc.
It's budget-efficient, it's cool and it's focused on one thing... Action.
If you're a supplier/vendor distributing in 500 locations or more, stay tuned.
I've completed hundreds of strategic analysis projects and there's been one common thread in all of them...
🧠 Knowing the levers to pull is not hard
🧠 Understand when and where you should pull them, is
You and your team know what resources you have at your disposal. It's the where/when of how you implement those resources that make the difference.
I wasn't a big smiler until several years outside of college.
But once I started making it a conscious effort, lots of things started to change.
And this all comes from a person who's made thousands of cold calls earlier in his career. I'm no stranger to that world.
So... For those of you in some type of sales role (whether you're a business owner or not) and you want a world of no cold calls... It does exist.
3 key questions to answer as a #cpg brand selling in #retail...
Are we:
🚗 Driving the visit to the store?
🛒 Filling the basket once the customer is in the store?
💸 Driving additional margin that wouldn't have come otherwise?
Your answers on these should be a key factor in your retail execution plan.
They're definitely a factor in how your #buyer views your importance on the shelf.
Pro tip: You don't need a "Yes" to all three.
39% of Walmart stores have a Target store within 2 miles. 🛒
Do you think Walmart cares about this? Yes, they do.
And if you sell products in Walmart, you should care about it too.
In-store behavior will be different, #ecommerce activity will be different and you should be using this to treat these areas different.
#Marketing, advertising, inventory allocation, field #merchandising, SKU selection...
