• AI-First Tool Development & Deployment – Build, fine-tune, and deploy AI-powered modules—such as generative forecasting tools or narrative dashboards.

• Cross-Functional Leadership Across Business and Tech – Facilitate strategic dialogue with stakeholders—from analysts to C-suite—translating outputs into business-ready dashboards, narratives, and decisions.  Partner with Mars internal AI governance and development team to understand what is possible within corporate governance and frameworks.

• Automated Storytelling & Insight Delivery – Create AI-generated, context-sensitive commentary that accompanies Key Performance Indicator (KPI) visualization—turning numbers into narrative and ensuring insights are accessible and actionable across function and region.

• Digital Talent Development – Mentor team members in both data science and strategic insights—fostering skills in prompt optimization, model evaluation, stakeholder communication, et al.

• Vendor & Partner Management – Lead engagements with external providers or consultancies, ensuring alignment with Mars’ strategic vision, data governance standards, and model performance expectations.

What are we looking for?

• Bachelor’s in Business, Data Science, or related field; MBA preferred.

• 7+ years in strategic analytics, Business Intelligence, or growth strategy, with demonstrable AI application—particularly involving LLMs or generative AI.

• Technical fluency in coding (Python, SQL, R) and LLM toolchains (prompting, model fine-tuning).

• Strong business strategy and insight translation skills—able to convert data and AI outputs into commercial advantage.

• Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) or retail experience.

• Hands-on experience with AI frameworks (e.g. OpenAI, Hugging Face), prompt engineering, or AI-enabled analytics pipelines.

What can you expect from Mars?

• Work with diverse and talented Associates, all guided by the Five Principles.

• Join a purpose-driven company, where we’re striving to build the world we want tomorrow, today.
