Description:
We are seeking a Data Scientist passionate about turning complex commercial challenges into actionable, high-impact solutions?
Were looking for someone to take the lead on our pricing and markdown optimisation models, refactoring and redesigning them to improve performance, scalability, and business value. Youll work closely with data engineering and commercial teams to enhance demand forecasting, price elasticity, and markdown algorithmsbuilding a smarter, more sustainable pricing capability that drives real financial impact.
If you thrive at the intersection of data science, optimisation, and business strategy, this role is for you.
Role Objectives
Take ownership of existing markdown and pricing optimisation models Refactor, optimise, and where necessary redesign models for long-term internal ownership Improve performance, scalability, and interpretability of pricing algorithms Strengthen the link between data science, data engineering, and commercial outcomes Build a more robust, simplified, and sustainable markdown optimisation capabilityKey Responsibilities
Pricing & Markdown Optimisation
Maintain, analyse, and improve existing markdown and price optimisation models Enhance demand forecasting, elasticity modelling, and markdown effectiveness algorithms Translate complex commercial problems into robust data science solutions Continuously test, validate, and improve model performance and financial impactModel Refactoring & Improvement
