We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Data Engineer & Data Scientist – Commercial Intelligence to help build the data and intelligence foundation behind Retail Sales Management (RSM), International’s digital sales platform supporting our dealer network.

This is a highly hands-on technical role at the intersection of data engineering, data science, commercial strategy, and digital product development. You will create trusted, scalable commercial data products that bring together customer, prospect, dealer, vehicle, sales, service, parts, CRM, and other enterprise data and transform it into actionable intelligence embedded directly into sales workflows.

The challenge goes beyond building pipelines and dashboards. You will help answer the questions that matter to a salesperson: Who should I engage next? Why? What opportunity exists? And what action is most likely to create value?

We are looking for someone with a strong sense of ownership, curiosity, and a solution-oriented mindset: “we may not have done this before—let’s figure it out and learn quickly.”

This is a full-time position be based inLisle, Illinois Monday through Thursday with hybrid in-office and remote work flexibility on Friday

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and data products supporting RSM and broader commercial intelligence capabilities.
• Integrate, normalize, and model customer, prospect, dealer, vehicle, sales, service, parts, CRM, digital interaction, and external data.
• Develop robust approaches for identity resolution, entity matching, deduplication, normalization, lineage, and data quality across complex commercial datasets.
• Build and operationalize analytical and machine-learning models for lead scoring, opportunity identification, customer segmentation, propensity, prioritization, and next-best-action recommendations.
• Translate complex commercial data into actionable intelligence embedded directly into dealer and sales workflows—not simply reports and dashboards.
• Partner with Product, Sales, Commercial, UX, Data, and Engineering teams to turn high-value business problems into scalable data and analytical solutions.
• Design reusable commercial data models, semantic structures, and ontology concepts for customers, prospects, vehicles, dealers, opportunities, and sales activity.

• Prototype and evaluate AI/ML approaches, including generative AI and LLM-based capabilities, that improve commercial decision-making and sales effectiveness.
• Establish engineering and data-science practices covering testing, observability, documentation, governance, versioning, CI/CD, and production deployment.
• Own what you build, including operational readiness, production support, incident response, quality standards, and technical lifecycle management.
• Serve as a senior technical leader within the RSM product team, influencing architecture and technical direction while mentoring other practitioners.
• Communicate complex analytical findings and technical decisions clearly to technical teams, product leaders, commercial stakeholders, and senior leadership.
