Senior Data Scientist, Marketing

At Deliveroo we have an outstanding data science organisation, with a mission to enable the highest quality human and machine decision-making. We work throughout the company - in product, business and platform teams - using analysis, experimentation, causal inference and machine learning techniques. We are uniquely placed to use data to help make better decisions and improve data literacy across Deliveroo.

Data Scientists at Deliveroo report into our data science management team, and we have a highly active data science community, with guest lecturers, study groups, mentorship programmes, a robust technical review process, and plenty of opportunities to learn new things. Data Scientists can equally progress as technical leads (individual contributors) and as people managers.

Our data scientists come from all kinds of backgrounds but have excellence in common. Many are formally trained in data science, many are not. We celebrate difference and have a dedicated data science diversity committee.

In this role, you will work with stakeholders across marketing and the wider consumer org, both in HQ and in local markets, to improve the way we communicate with our consumers. You will work on solving complex business problems, build tools which simplify the way teams work, spot unexplored opportunities, challenge the status quo and work closely with the wider consumer leadership team to improve our marketing strategy.

• You are an experienced, hands-on individual with strong technical skills (SQL, Python / R and data visualisation tools such as Looker), critical reasoning and experience working with marketing teams.
• You will develop both your business acumen and technical background through training and exposure to senior executives.

You will:

• Work with stakeholders in the marketing and consumer team, helping solve our biggest business problems with clear insights based on data and analysis.
• Build tools and frameworks which make our marketing activities more compelling and more efficient.
  Challenge existing assumptions and spot opportunities to grow the customer base, improve customer experience, make our operations more efficient and impact our financial performance.
• Partner with product managers and business partners to ensure that product teams are rigorously data driven.
• Be creative and pragmatic in identifying and quantifying opportunities for big impact within your product or business area.
• Bring scientific rigour, entrepreneurial thinking, and passion to tell actionable stories with data.

Requirements

• Strong analytical mindset and critical thinking.
• A customer centric mindset, who always thinks about the impact of products/services on customers as well as direct business KPIs
• Experience working with marketing teams, in at least one of the following areas: digital (performance) marketing, CRM, customer analytics, econometrics or ATL marketing.
• Ability to communicate complex findings to key stakeholders in a simple way, with excellent data visualization and storytelling skills.
• Deep knowledge of SQL and another programming language such as Python or R.
• The sort of personality who thrives in a fast-moving and quickly changing environment. You should jump for joy when people bring you new ideas or data, and love engaging people across the company at all levels with your enthusiasm for making positive change.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience in a fast-moving startup culture.
• Experience with marketing technology (MarTech)
• Experience running experiments
• Experience with ETL and query optimisation.
• Understanding of machine learning techniques.
• Experience with Git.

Benefits and Diversity
At Deliveroo we know that people are the heart of the business and we prioritise their welfare. We offer a wide range of competitive benefits in areas including health, family, finance, community, convenience, growth, time away and relocation.

We believe a great workplace is one that represents the world we live in and how beautifully diverse it can be. That means we have no judgement when it comes to any one of the things that make you who you are - your gender, race, sexuality, religion or a secret aversion to coriander. All you need is a passion for (most) food and a desire to be part of one of the fastest growing startups in an incredibly exciting space.
