Director of Economics & Pricing

CSC Generation is building an internal economics and pricing decision system to improve cash recovery, margin, and capital efficiency across closed-out, at-risk, and healthy inventory. This role is the single-threaded owner of that system. You’ll operate at the intersection of pricing, inventory, finance, data science, and engineering — turning high uncertainty into structured decisions that run daily and move real dollars. This is not a pure analytics or engineering role. It’s a product-ownership and economics leadership role.

Responsibilities

Own the economic framework behind pricing and inventory disposition (contribution margin, holding cost, option value); Define and evolve the Bleeder / At-Risk / Healthy inventory classification and policies; Lead structured research and experimentation in ambiguous, low-signal environments; Partner with data science on time-to-sell, demand, and elasticity models — pushing for interpretability and actionability; Use LLMs pragmatically to accelerate hypothesis generation, feature ideation, matching, and model evaluation (with guardrails); Partner with engineering to productionize daily decisioning, guardrails, monitoring, and overrides; Establish trust through explainable recommendations, governance, and post-mortems; Apply formal reasoning where useful (constraints, invariants, checkable rationales) to ensure decisions are valid and auditable

Requirements

8+ years in pricing, inventory, revenue management, marketplace economics, or applied data science in retail/e-commerce; Proven ability to create clarity and momentum in high-uncertainty problem spaces; Strong command of unit economics and expected-value thinking; Experience influencing or owning systems that drive daily financial decisions; Comfort working across data science, engineering, merchandising, and finance

Nice to have

Experience with clearance / markdown optimization or liquidation; Familiarity with hazard models, demand modeling, or experimentation; Hands-on experience using LLMs in analytics or decision systems; Background in formal logic, constraint systems, or verification-style thinking
