## Description

We're looking for a Senior Data Science Manager to shape data science strategy across a broad area of our Logistics organisation. You'll combine strong people leadership, technical judgement and commercial thinking to help our teams make better decisions and deliver measurable business impact.

## About The Logistics Team

Logistics makes our marketplace work in the real world: connecting riders with orders and helping deliveries happen efficiently and reliably. The organisation works on problems such as predicting demand, improving delivery-time estimates, and matching orders with riders, all in an efficient way to ensure we can offer the most affordable pricing to our customers.

## What You'll Be Doing

- Set strategy and priorities with Product, Engineering and Operations leaders, focusing investment on the highest-impact opportunities across immediate needs and longer-term goals.

- Build and develop a high-performing, inclusive team through hiring, coaching and performance management, growing leaders who can deliver independently.

- Guide solutions to complex marketplace challenges, from balancing supply and demand to evaluating incentives and improving delivery performance and economics.

- Set the technical bar for experimentation, causal inference and analysis, staying close enough to challenge approaches and ensure decisions reflect real marketplace effects.

- Influence senior stakeholders and align teams around shared outcomes, resolving competing priorities and turning evidence into product and operational decisions.

- Directly lead projects that resolve highly complex challenges, which often span across multiple parts of the business and unlock new vectors of impact, boosting company-level goals.

## What You'll Need to Thrive

- A track record of leading and developing high-performing data science or closely related analytical teams, with responsibility for complex work spanning multiple teams or business areas.

- Experience setting analytical strategy and allocating people and effort across competing priorities, with clear evidence of product, operational or commercial impact.

- Strong technical foundations in experimentation, causal inference and statistical analysis, with the judgement to select appropriate methods, challenge conclusions and coach experienced practitioners.

- The ability to reason about interconnected systems and trade-offs, including how an intervention in one part of a marketplace can affect outcomes elsewhere.

- Experience influencing senior cross-functional leaders, aligning teams around shared goals and turning complex evidence into clear, actionable recommendations.

- A thoughtful approach to building teams: hiring, coaching, managing performance and developing future technical and people leaders.

- Comfort creating structure in ambiguous environments, making pragmatic decisions with incomplete information and adapting as new evidence emerges.
