Description

Let's talk numbers. When it comes to UK retail, it's hard to find a bigger name. We sell thousands of items an hour and are expanding our e-commerce business by the second. For anyone in Tech, this is the place to learn. To grow. And to thrive. 

eCommerce Data provides the department and the business the means to see what is working and what is not by drawing data and analysing patterns of shopping on our site and in general.

About the Role:
As a Data Scientist at NEXT you will build data driven solutions through state of the art Machine learning techniques in order to maximise the profitability. What else is involved?

  • Working with teams from around the business to understand problems and opportunities and gather requirements for model building.
  • Interrogating large volumes of data from a range of sources, including transactional, demographic and online, to collect data for modelling.
  • Building predictive models and segmentations to improve profitability and improve the customer experience.
  • Working with the commercial teams to implement tests to prove the value of predictive models.
  • Presenting model findings and analysis to a range of audiences.
  • Proactively identifying opportunities for personalisation and improvements to the customer experience.

You'll be doing all this from our Leicestershire Head Office. Our offices are inspiring, yes. But we understand that life happens. So, we're big on making sure your work, works for you which is why we offer flexible working.  Bring your energy. Play to your strengths. Make things bigger and better than before. 

About You:

  • Have experience with solving data science problems in Python and SQL.
  • Solid understanding of statistical techniques and experience applying them to real world problems.
  • Previous experience working with Causal Inference models and/or projects related to marketing would be an advantage.
  • Have excellent communication skills, comfortable presenting to a range of audiences and tailoring content accordingly.
  • Have good time management skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities.
  • Prior experience of Databricks would also be advantageous.

So if you have experience in Data Science, experience with recommender systems (desirable, not essential), have strong Python/SQL skills and knowledge in test design, implementation and reporting, can work with initiative and can build great working relationships within the business, this is the place for you – and your career.
