Data & Insight

Data & insight is at the heart of the Ocado retail grocery team – from advising the buying team on promotions to run and products to range, to understanding how our customers buy their weekly shopping, through to building models for new loyalty schemes and personalised marketing campaigns – data and insight are critical to everything we do. We want our analysts to become experts in their areas as well as have the skills needed to produce great insight.

  • To prioritise, plan and manage a portfolio of projects through to a successful outcome.
  • To understand the needs of the business and how data science can be used to meet them.
  • To manage relationships and expectations of senior stakeholders and business sponsors.
  • To be up-to-date with state of the art Machine Learning techniques to elevate ORL’s analytical capabilities to be more predictive and prescriptive.

Person Specification

  • Experience leading projects involving large data sets and complex statistical techniques.
  • Experience working with stakeholders and able to communicate effectively to non-technical persons.
  • The ability to translate complex business problems into achievable data science projects.
  • A solid understanding of key statistical concepts and machine learning techniques to solve complex problems.
  • Familiarity with Cloud computing and experience with overseeing end-to-end development of data science projects in a Cloud environment.
  • A deep understanding of the art of the possible when using Python and SQL programming languages.
  • A strong academic record including a postgraduate degree in mathematics, statistics, or the sciences from a top-ranked university.

Nice to have:

  • Prior experience leading or managing within a data science team.

  • Demonstrated advanced computer programming ability including fluency in two or more of Python, R, Julia, and SQL.
