Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Manager, Data Science to lead the development and delivery of advanced data science solutions across pricing optimization, customer segmentation, marketing analytics, Bayesian modelling, marketing mix modelling (MMM), causal inference, and optimization.

The role combines hands-on technical expertise with data science leadership, requiring the ability to lead and mentor data scientists, solve complex business problems, engage with clients, and translate analytical insights into measurable business outcomes.

The ideal candidate should have a solid foundation in statistics, machine learning, predictive modelling, and optimization, with hands-on experience in Python, SQL, Bayesian modelling, and cloud-based machine learning environments such as AWS SageMaker.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead and mentor a team of data scientists and provide technical direction across multiple data science projects.
- Own the end-to-end delivery of data science solutions, from problem definition and exploratory analysis through modelling, validation, deployment, and business adoption.
- Develop and lead pricing optimization and price elasticity models to support revenue, profitability, and market-share objectives.
- Build customer segmentation and targeting models using techniques such as K-Means, Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM), and DBSCAN.




- Develop predictive and statistical models using Regression, Random Forest, Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and other machine learning techniques.
- Develop Bayesian regression and hierarchical Bayesian models using frameworks such as PyMC or Stan.
- Apply causal inference and experimentation techniques such as A/B testing, geo experiments, Difference-in-Differences, Synthetic Control, and Regression Discontinuity.
- Develop constrained and multi-objective optimization solutions for pricing, media allocation, and business decision-making using tools such as SciPy Optimize and CVXPY.
- Deploy and operationalize machine learning and statistical models using AWS SageMaker.
- Apply model explainability techniques such as SHAP to translate complex model outputs into actionable business insights.
- Work closely with clients and senior stakeholders to understand business problems, communicate analytical findings, and translate data science solutions into business recommendations.
- Establish best practices around model development, experimentation, documentation, version control, reproducibility, and model governance.
- Review models and analytical approaches developed by team members and ensure statistical and technical quality.
- Proactively identify business opportunities where advanced analytics and data science can create measurable value.
