Senior Data Scientist - Demand Forecasting

Be part of something revolutionary

At o9 Solutions, our mission is clear: be the Most Valuable Platform (MVP) for enterprises. With our AI-driven platform — the o9 Digital Brain — we integrate global enterprises’ siloed planning capabilities, helping them capture millions and, in some cases, billions of dollars in value leakage. But our impact doesn’t stop there. Businesses that plan better and faster also reduce waste, which drives better outcomes for the planet, too.

We're on the lookout for the brightest, most committed individuals to join us on our mission. Along the journey, we’ll provide you with a nurturing environment where you can be part of something truly extraordinary and make a real difference for companies and the planet.
