Xcede have started working with one of Europe’s fastest growing logistic delivery companies.

Needing someone to look over the fast-growing data team, you will work with some of the most difficult logistic problems e.g. final-delivery platform behaviour, driver productivity and loyalty, trip-distance forecasting, network modelling, and vehicle telemetry.

What you will do:

• Lead and grow a cross-functional data science team across marketplace, operations, routing, finance, and telematics
• Set technical direction, maintain high standards, and step into critical problems when needed
• Own and prioritise the roadmap, making clear trade-offs and keeping the team focused
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Operations to turn ideas into production
• Hire, develop, and retain strong talent
• Improve speed, model quality, and observability while resolving issues quickly
• Build scalable ways of working and a strong team culture

Requirements:

• You’re comfortable leading others day-to-day, while stepping in hands-on when it has the most impact
• You take end-to-end responsibility for outcomes and proactively drive improvements
• You prioritise the needs of those using and running your systems—couriers, partners, operators, teammates, and customers
• You thrive in fast-paced, uncertain environments and create clarity through action
• You communicate clearly, define measurable goals, give honest feedback, and collaborate thoughtfully
• You’re willing to tackle any challenges to unblock progress and deliver better results
