Senior econometrician / scenario modeller — freelance contract
Remote · Immediate start · Contract
We are sourcing on behalf of a leading global strategy consultancy currently engaged on a major assignment for a global FMCG client. They need a highly experienced, hands-on econometrician or senior data scientist to join immediately on a contract basis.
The work:
This is not a standard MMM role. You will be contributing to an innovative economic scenario modelling methodology — plugging in forward-looking demand shocks (such as the impact of GLP-1 drugs on consumer behaviour) and modelling effects on revenue, volume, and category dynamics. The work requires deep understanding of how marketing spend and distribution variables interact to drive demand.
What we’re looking for:
• Proven track record building economic scenario or structural demand models — not just historical attribution
• Strong grounding in marketing mix modelling and the role of distribution in FMCG demand
• Hands-on experience with Monte Carlo simulation, Bayesian modelling, or structural equation modelling
• Comfortable working in Python or R
• Background in FMCG, CPG, food, beverage, or alcohol strongly preferred
• A practitioner first — this role needs someone who builds and runs models, not one who directs others to do so
The role:
• Senior contractor / independent consultant
• Immediate availability required
• Remote working
• Day rate engagement — competitive rate for the right candidate
If this sounds like you, or you know someone who fits, please apply . All enquiries handled confidentially.
