250+ employees with leadership from top consumer tech companies (Depop, Skyscanner, Monzo, Just Eat). Mission-driven culture rewarding key workers. Data-driven decision making at the core.

THE ROLE

Join the Data team as a Product Data Scientist working with Product and Business stakeholders to drive strategy through insight. Similar to Monzo's Product Data Science model - embedded within product teams, solving problems, informing decisions, guiding strategy.

  • Define and align key metrics with stakeholders, ensure data accuracy across teams
  • Build self-serve dashboards and data tools for quick access to core insights
  • Conduct deep-dive analyses supporting strategic initiatives with clear recommendations
  • Maintain central Insights Hub with documented reports and metric definitions
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to close data gaps and foster strong relationships
  • Champion unified data approach and stay current on analytics best practices

Greenfield opportunity with full ownership, autonomy to identify right questions, design experiments, and drive revenue-impacting decisions.

  • Strong data storytelling and presentation skills - ability to present convincing, data-led arguments to stakeholders at all levels
  • Ability to translate business problems into analytical tasks and communicate insights effectively
  • Product-minded approach - care about the "why" behind analyses, can push back constructively

  • Detail-oriented problem solver who can balance rigor with speed
  • Team player who is both highly collaborative and individually capable
  • Ability to manage your own development and identify opportunities for improvement
