Data Science Manager

Deliveroo
London
About The Team

At Deliveroo we have an outstanding data science organisation, with a mission to enable the highest quality human and machine decision-making. We work throughout the company - in product, business and platform teams - using analysis, experimentation, causal inference and machine learning techniques. We are uniquely placed to use data to help make better decisions and improve data literacy across Deliveroo.

Our team members use technical skills from the whole spectrum of data science: building analytical tools; informing decision making at all levels of the business via bespoke and automated analysis; running experiments; performing causal analysis; informing planning and prioritisation with robust impact estimates; building production machine learning and optimisation models; and upskilling the entire company in data literacy and data driven decision making.

Data scientists at Deliveroo report into our data science management team, and we have a strong, active data science community with guest lecturers, a robust technical review process, a career progression framework, and plenty of opportunities to learn new things. We have career pathways for both managers and individual contributors.

Our data scientists come from all kinds of backgrounds but have excellence in common. Many are formally trained in data science, many are not.

About The Role

We are looking for a data science manager to join our management team. We are looking for someone who:

  • Has experience line-managing data scientists and guiding their career development.
  • Has prior hands-on experience as a senior-level individual contributor, familiar with experimentation, causal analysis and data visualisation methods
  • Consistently identifies opportunities where data science and analytics can add significant value, and delivers on them by building roadmaps and translating insights into clear strategy and execution
  • Is comfortable working with stakeholders up to C-level, guiding company-level strategy and clearly explaining highly technical solutions to all audiences
  • Is able to bring together a group of individuals from many different backgrounds and skill sets to form a cohesive high-performing team
  • Is comfortable managing multiple teams in different business areas, and ruthlessly prioritising
  • Is comfortable working in an extremely fast, constantly changing environment, with incredibly high standards
  • Has a pragmatic, flexible approach, and most cares about achieving impact

Workplace & Benefits

At Deliveroo we know that people are the heart of the business and we prioritise their welfare. Benefits differ by country, but we offer many benefits in areas including healthcare, well-being, parental leave, pensions, and generous annual leave allowances, including time off to support a charitable cause of your choice. Benefits are country-specific, please ask your recruiter for more information.

Diversity

At Deliveroo, we believe a great workplace is one that represents the world we live in and how beautifully diverse it can be. That means we have no judgement when it comes to any one of the things that make you who you are - your gender, race, sexuality, religion or a secret aversion to coriander. All you need is a passion for (most) food and a desire to be part of one of the fastest-growing businesses in a rapidly growing industry.

We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of our hiring process. We recognise that some candidates may require adjustments to apply for a position or fairly participate in the interview process. If you require any adjustments, please don't hesitate to let us know. We will make every effort to provide the necessary adjustments to ensure you have an equitable opportunity to succeed.
