ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Data Scientist in the Pricing team, you’ll report directly to the Head of Pricing. Thanks to our newly enhanced pricing infrastructure and rich pricing history, we are moving towards a highly data-driven approach to revenue generation. You will take the lead in building the predictive data models that recommend tariff changes, influence strategy, and strengthen profitability.
This is a hands-on role where your modelling expertise will have a direct commercial impact - taking our pricing capabilities to the next level through advanced analytics and machine learning.
HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT / KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Predictive Modeling & Tariff Recommendations: Leverage our pricing history and infrastructure to build data models that predict outcomes and automatically recommend tariff changes.
- Dynamic Pricing Optimization: Improve and refine our dynamic pricing models, specifically focusing on optimizing tariffs and building algorithms to find over and underperforming and recommending an appropriate action.
- Elasticity & Forecasting: Study price elasticity across different regions and assets, generating better forecasts of price changes to maximize revenue and utilization.
- Model Development: Build and deploy statistical models and machine learning algorithms to optimize pricing decisions.
- Experimentation & Causal Inference: Design and evaluate pricing A/B tests and other controlled experiments to measure impact on revenue and profitability. Help measure the true impact of price changes in complex scenarios where perfect A/B testing is not possible.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Marketing, Finance, and Sales/Account Management teams to translate analytical insights into actionable pricing recommendations.
- Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with the latest tools, techniques, and trends in pricing science, machine learning, and econometrics.
TECHNICAL SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience: 2-3 years of experience in data science, pricing, commercial analytics, revenue management, or a similar quantitative role.
- Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in SQL and Python for data analysis, manipulation, and modeling.
- Analytical Methodology: Familiarity with quasi-experimental design and causal inference techniques (e.g., Difference in Differences) to evaluate business impact outside of standard A/B testing.
- Education: Degree in Data Science, Statistics, Economics, Mathematics, Operations Research, or related field.
- Business Acumen: Understanding of pricing strategies, revenue optimization, and price elasticity.
- Soft Skills: Strong communication skills, ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, and a passion for turning data into actionable insights.
- Independence: Comfortable operating independently and taking ownership within a small, focused team.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Successful deployment of data models that accurately forecast demand, study price elasticity, and recommend optimal tariff changes.
- Revenue and profit growth driven by optimized pricing strategies.
- Working with Tech team to productionise and build pricing models.
- Design, implement and monitor Pricing Experiments.
- Clear, actionable insights delivered to leadership and commercial teams.
- Well-documented pricing models and relevant KPI tracking.
