Decision Scientist - Staffing, Reporting And Data Analytics

Now Brewing – Decision Scientist – Staffing, Reporting, & Data Analytics! #tobeapartner

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

The decision scientist will be guiding business decisions through discovering and sharing insights that deliver stakeholder outcomes. You will be able to apply research, statistics, and experimental design; synthesize, analyze, and implement and deploy models, dashboards, and storytelling presentations that support store staffing optimizations. There needs to be a focused attention on embedding analytics into staffing operations and creating a data-driven strength which is evangelized organizationally. Models and acts in accordance with Starbucks guiding principles.
