I am a Product Manager but not in analytics though know former consultants that are in that space with AI/ML but from a product perspective it’s generally product oriented so applications like forecasting, purchasing, labor, product placement, data management/compression, etc.

Hi Everyone!

I am currently working in a role that involves technical training, consulting, operations, and customer experience management.

Happy to elaborate privately if needed.

I was hoping that someone would be willing to refer me to a remote position of a similar nature (or any type of mix of aspects).

I'm fairly new and can't DM yet if you feel so inclined to assist there it would be appreciated as well.

Thanks!
