About the role

  • Operations Intelligence Analyst developing AI solutions for business challenges at Merkle. Collaborating with teams to enhance operational workflows through AI/ML.

Responsibilities

  • Develop working knowledge of Merkle's operational workflows, key metrics, data systems (Salesforce, Workday, Dynamics 365, Power Platform), and current AI/ML capabilities in our tech stack
  • Research and propose 3-5 areas where AI/ML could improve operational outcomes — predictive models, LLM-powered automation, intelligent recommendations — with clear business cases for each
  • Produce analyses that answer real business questions and influence the data foundations needed for future intelligent services
  • Partner with stakeholders and the Data Engineer to define requirements for at least 2 AI-enhanced capabilities, from problem definition through success metrics
  • Develop frameworks for how we assess AI/ML opportunities — feasibility, data readiness, expected value, build vs. buy considerations
  • Participate in training in Power BI, SQL, and foundational analytics; actively build knowledge of AI/ML concepts, LLM capabilities, and how to evaluate intelligent service opportunities
  • Continuously evaluate operational challenges through an AI lens — where could prediction, automation, or intelligent recommendations add value?

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science, Business Analytics, Data Science) or equivalent practical experience
  • Demonstrated ability to work with data — through coursework, projects, internships, or self-study
  • Genuine curiosity about artificial intelligence, machine learning, and LLMs.
  • Personal projects, coursework, or competitions involving ML; experimentation with tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or other AI assistants for real tasks
  • Ability to write queries to filter, join, and aggregate data (or strong willingness to learn quickly)
  • Comfortable with Excel or Google Sheets for data manipulation and basic analysis
  • Strong written and verbal English; able to explain analytical and AI concepts to non-technical audiences.

Benefits

  • Front-row seat to applying AI/ML to real business problems — not theoretical, but practical
  • Opportunity to shape how a global organization adopts intelligent services
  • Hands-on experience identifying, defining, and launching AI-powered capabilities
  • Mentorship from experienced architects and engineers
  • Dedicated learning budget for AI/ML training and certifications
  • Clear growth path — from Analyst to Senior Analyst to AI Product Manager or Data Scientist roles
  • Collaborative team culture that values curiosity, experimentation, and learning
