Introducing Data Science at Trainline

Data Science is central to how we build products, delight our customers and grow our business. Our Data Scientists are embedded in cross-functional teams which exist across product and marketing. Data Scientists have a high degree of autonomy and are empowered to drive the success of their teams, using all data and techniques at their disposal.

As a Data Scientist, you will be involved in driving insights and strategy for the product team, creating and measuring value through experimentation, creating focus through metrics and goals, and building deep learning about what is most impactful for each team. You will be able to determine the underlying dynamics of our complex ecosystem and use this to deliver insights and strategic direction, but your main focus will be a complete obsession with driving impact within the product team, drawing on whatever analytical and statistical techniques that will unlock the most benefits.

Data science at Trainline exists within the wider data organisation as part of the tech org, and is complemented by data engineering teams, data platform teams, and ML teams for when deep ML and AI techniques are required. Our autonomous model creates a huge opportunity for personal influence and impact – as the data scientist on the team you will be actively driving innovation on the team by contributing to strategy, execution and continuous learning.

  • Drive regular cross functional team reviews to measure progress toward goals
  • Discover and articulate new product opportunities helping shape the team's direction
