About the role
We are seeking an inspiring, technically savvy data scientist who is passionate about building a best-in-class experimentation platform/program to support our rapidly growing suite of eCommerce products. As a Senior Data Scientist, you will be a key player in driving data-driven decision-making across the organisation, collaborating closely with engineering, product, marketing, and other cross-functional teams to deliver insights and products that shape the future of our business. You will also mentor junior data scientists and help to foster a culture of experimentation throughout the organisation.
Responsibilities:
- Conduct advanced statistical analysis (e. g., causal inference, Bayesian analysis, regression modelling) to derive actionable insights from experimentation results.
- Develop and refine models to predict customer behaviour and optimise conversion rates, retention, and other key business metrics.
- Analyse large-scale datasets and design efficient algorithms to support decision-making in areas like pricing, product recommendations, and personalisation.
- Stay current with the latest advancements in data science, statistics, and experimentation methodologies.
- Propose innovative approaches to enhance the experimentation framework, such as new experimental designs, alternative modelling techniques, or improved metrics.
- Lead or participate in research to explore new ways of measuring and optimising the customer journey in a retail/e-commerce setting.
Requirements:
- Advanced knowledge of statistical methodologies for experiment design, analysis, and causal inference.
- Expertise in analytics/data software/tools such as Python, R, SQL, and experience with machine learning frameworks (e. g., TensorFlow, scikit-learn).
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
- Solid understanding of e-commerce and retail metrics (e. g., conversion rate, customer lifetime value, churn, etc. ) and how they relate to experimentation.
