Ref: J13155
A growing product-led business is expanding its data capabilities and is looking for a commercially minded Lead Product Data Scientist to help shape how data is used across the organisation. Working with executive stakeholders and cross-functional teams, you’ll identify opportunities for data to create value across customer, product and operational use cases. You’ll challenge assumptions, influence strategic decisions and help stakeholders understand what is possible through data.
This is a highly visible and consultative role, but you’ll remain hands-on, using SQL, Python, experimentation and statistical analysis to test ideas, quantify opportunities and measure outcomes.
What you’ll be doing
- Partner with executive stakeholders to identify and shape data opportunities.
- Translate complex business challenges into clear analytical solutions.
- Quantify potential value before products or features are developed.
- Work with Product, Engineering and Design teams to influence product direction.
- Apply experimentation and hypothesis testing to validate ideas and measure success.
- Communicate clear recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Help broaden the use and understanding of data across the business.
About you
- Strong experience in product analytics, decision science or commercial data science.
- A proven ability to influence executive and senior stakeholders.
- Experience applying data across a broad range of commercial or operational use cases.
- Advanced SQL and commercial Python experience.
- Strong knowledge of experimentation, A/B testing and statistical analysis.
- Experience within a product-led, marketplace, ecommerce or consumer business.
- The confidence to challenge thinking while remaining collaborative and commercially focused.
