Our Data & Analytics organisation builds the products, platforms and intelligence that power every marketing, product and commercial decision across the business. We're looking for a Data Science leader who believes machine learning only creates value when it changes business decisions.
This is an opportunity to build and lead a commercially driven Data Science function that delivers measurable improvements in customer acquisition, marketing performance and long-term business growth.
You'll lead a growing team of Data Scientists while partnering closely with Engineering, Analytics, Product and Commercial teams to ensure predictive models become trusted, production-ready products that drive measurable commercial outcomes. As we continue investing in first-party data, AI, machine learning and advanced marketing measurement, we're looking for an experienced Data Science leader to help shape the next phase of our commercial Data Science capability.
Responsibilties:

You'll translate complex modelling into clear commercial recommendations, influence senior stakeholders through evidence, and help establish Data Science as a trusted driver of business strategy and commercial growth.
