PepsiCo operates in an environment undergoing immense and rapid change, in part driven by emergent retail technologies. To ensure continued success in the food and beverage space, PepsiCo has assembled a dedicated Sales Effectiveness Data Science (SE-DS) Team - tasked with optimizing our sales operations and developing innovative solutions that will give PepsiCo a sustainable competitive advantage. This SE-DS team forms part of the broader global Data Science group within our global Data & Analytics (D+A) organization.

While tied closely to the broader organization, this team can be seen more as a flexible, experimental and execution-focused group; embracing the core values of having bias for action, being results oriented, maintaining a community-focus, and prioritizing people.

The team consists mainly of data scientists, technology specialists, and business innovators who operate directly with business teams and/or functional stakeholders, with the objective of quickly adding value to the business through innovative, quickly executed and often experimental solutions, while always focusing on future global scalability of each solution.

- Add quick value to the business through fast and geographically fenced POCs that, if successful, have the potential to be scaled into global tools that drive automation and optimize business operations
- Create basic visualization on demand (e.g., Power BI, Tableau ) to facilitate story telling towards business stakeholder.
