Job description
Are you a skilled and motivated Data Scientist with a passion for driving data-driven pricing strategies?
As our Pricing Data Scientist you'll be part of our new group-wide Commercial Planning team. In this role, you will have a significant impact on driving data-driven pricing strategies to optimize revenue, enhance customer experience, and support business growth.
In this pivotal role you will have the opportunity to work with large-scale datasets, leverage advanced analytics techniques, and contribute to critical pricing decisions. Responsibilities will include end-to-end delivery of data projects, from scoping the brief to stakeholder model presentation. You'll also utilize statistical techniques, predictive modelling, and machine learning algorithms to analyse complex pricing, promotion, sales, and customer behaviour data, extracting actionable insights to inform pricing strategies.
Additionally, you will develop a price optimization tool, leveraging regression, reinforcement learning, or Bayesian methods, to optimize pricing for profit or revenue growth. Your expertise in commercial forecasting will support the development of forecasting models to predict pricing trends, demand patterns, and market dynamics. You will also contribute to automating pricing processes using Databricks, Python, and Power BI.
To succeed in this role, you should have a degree or equivalent in a science or quantitative subject and strong analytics expertise, particularly in Microsoft Azure, Databricks, SQL, Python, Pyspark, and Power BI. Pricing experience is desired, and experience in modeling, data management, information systems, and related software is beneficial. You should possess superior written and oral communication skills, with the ability to present complex insights to non-technical audiences. A can-do attitude, curiosity, self-drive, and the ability to work in a fast-paced, changing environment are essential.
