Covetrus is looking for a Consumer Data Scientist to drive and support advanced analytics and applied data science that accelerates Covetrus’ consumer-facing marketing, product experiences, and strategic business initiatives. As part of Covetrus, you will work with one of the largest in-clinic and online pet parent behavior datasets in the world. You will design, build, and operationalize models and analytical frameworks that improve new consumer acquisition, drive retention, influence product and brand preference, and enhance the experience of our consumer-facing products.
You will partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Commercial leaders to translate ambiguous business questions into clear analytical problems, develop data-driven solutions, and communicate recommendations that shape strategy. You will contribute to a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement as you provide insight into the business and drivers of consumer behavior, loyalty, and product preferences.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Drive and support the development, validation, and deployment of predictive and machine learning models (e.g., propensity, churn, LTV, recommendations, next best action, marketing response) that support data-driven marketing and business decisions for the Prescription Management and other consumer businesses.
- Design and analyze experiments (A/B and multivariate tests) and apply causal inference methods to measure the impact of marketing, pricing, and product changes on key consumer outcomes.
- Identify, scope, and prioritize high-impact data science opportunities that shape consumer experience, drive adoption, increase loyalty, influence brand preference, and deepen consumer engagement.
- Maintain a deep understanding of consumer behavior, competitive trends, and business drivers; proactively surface insights and hypotheses that inform strategy and roadmap decisions.

- Partner with teams across the prescription management and broader consumer business to design, develop, and maintain forecasts, analytical tools, and dashboards that highlight key business drivers and model outputs.
- Translate complex analytical findings into clear, compelling stories and recommendations tailored to non-technical stakeholders, driving alignment and action.
- Contribute to data science standards, best practices, and documentation, and mentor team members in advanced analytics and modeling techniques.
