A retail data analyst applying to a pricing team

Dear Dr Whitlock,

Last spring my analysis of basket data at Marlin Market showed that free delivery on orders over £40 was losing money on one order in five. The threshold moved to £501, average order value rose by 11%, and delivery losses halved within a quarter. I am applying for the Data Analyst role on your pricing team.

I work mainly in SQL and Python, with dashboards in Tableau. For the delivery question I wrote the queries, ran a four-week test across two regions, and presented the result to the commercial director in six slides with one recommendation2. The design of the test mattered as much as the finding: an earlier analysis had compared different seasons3 and reached the opposite conclusion.

Your listing asks for someone who can explain findings to people who do not work with data. I run a monthly session where each of our store managers brings one question, and the dashboard they asked for is now the most opened in the company.

Orchard & Pine publishes how it sets its prices, which is unusual, and I would like to work somewhere that treats pricing as something to be explained.

I would be glad to walk you through the delivery analysis. I am free any afternoon.

Kind regards, Yasmin Karimi
