Your team

You will be working as part of the global Forecasting and Scenario Analysis team in Zabierzów (Krakow Business Park).

– strong analytical, problem-solving and synthesizing skills (you know how to figure things out)
– experience with large databases (e.g. data mining, machine learning, …) is a plus
