Afresh is on a mission to eliminate food waste and make fresh food accessible to all. Our first A.I.-powered solution optimizes ordering, forecasting, and store operations for fresh food departments in brick-and-mortar grocers. With our Fresh Operating System, regional and national grocery retailers have placed $1.6 billion in produce orders across the US and we've helped our partners prevent 6.9 million pounds of food from going to waste. Working at Afresh represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to have massive social impact at scale by leveraging uncommonly impactful software – we hope you'll join us!
The Prediction and Planning team at Afresh plays a fundamental role in realizing our company mission: reducing global food waste. Afresh’s grocery store partners rely on our team’s models to guide critical replenishment decisions on millions of dollars of fresh inventory every day. This is not an easy task: we face complex challenges presented by stochastic inventory decay, varying consumer demand, extreme population events (e.g. Covid), tight performance constraints, incomplete and noisy data, just to name a few. The Prediction and Planning team tackles these problems with a mix of machine learning, large-scale simulation, and optimization techniques. The result: a product that has saved tens of millions of pounds of food from going to waste. And we’re just getting started.
As the Senior Manager, Analytics at Afresh, you are responsible for building the Data Science and Data Engineering team to set standards for data quality, research, goal setting, and data investigations to support our core product. You'll be coaching, mentoring, and hiring an incredible team to ensure that as we can grow our impact and scale.
Our team culture is part research, part engineering. We hold daily coffee hours to encourage open-ended discussion on topics ranging from new research papers to design reviews. We are also engineers: we love seeing the real-world impact of deploying our work to production, and we proudly enforce rigorous standards on our code, data, and models.
