A high-impact, fast-growing business in the circular economy space is hiring a Data Science Manager to lead a small but experienced team of data scientists focusing on Price Optimisation.

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Data Science leader who can take full ownership of the data science function. You'll be managing and mentoring a globally distributed team (UK & US-based) and playing a pivotal role in driving commercial impact primarily through price optimisation, where your work will directly influence P&L.

You'll be expected to lead projects end-to-end: from scoping and validating datasets, to designing, building and deploying models, as well as recommending the right tools and infrastructure to support the work. There's no separate product or project manager-this is a highly autonomous role suited to someone who enjoys full ownership and moving fast.

  • Leading a small team of data scientists and analysts across the UK and US
  • Scoping data science projects that directly impact pricing strategy
  • Building and deploying models
  • Establishing best practices across the function and working closely with engineering
  • Communicating technical work effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Driving experimentation and growth-focused initiatives

What We're Looking For

  • Strong hands-on skills in Python and statistical modelling
  • Experience leading small, high-performing data science teams
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Experience in fast-paced, startup-style environments
  • Proven ability to scope projects and own delivery from end to end
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and being "scrappy" when needed
  • Bonus: background in pricing, e-commerce, or consumer products

Interview Process

  1. Intro Interview (60 mins) - Meet the hiring manager, discuss your experience, ask questions
  2. Case Study - Prepare a deck on a relevant topic and present it to the hiring manager and engineering leadership
  3. Final Stage (In-Person) - Focused on culture, leadership and soft skills with senior leadership
