Job Description

We're looking for an awesome someone to join Wolt in this brand new role as a Data Science Lead! We have openings in several teams, such as Wolt Market, Marketing Technology and Supply & Demand for one of our locations in Sweden, Germany, Finland, Denmark, or Estonia (your choice). The different teams have their own focus areas:

• Wolt Market - building tooling, e.g. for pricing, forecasting and operations, for managing our own operated grocery stores
• Marketing Technology - building all tooling and solutions needed by Marketing to do user acquisition and run campaigns on existing users. The team works on topics like Media Mix Models, churn prediction, lifetime value models, uplift modeling etc.
• Supply & Demand - forecasting both supply and demand, and automating decisions based on those

This is where you come in. We're looking for someone to take the helm of the data science team lead role in one of the domains mentioned above. These are cross-functional teams where data scientists work together with engineers, designers, and product and analytics people owning that domain end to end. The engineers and other people have their own leads. Your focus is going to be on the data science side.

You know what it takes to scale data science as a function, take exceptional care of exceptional people, and above all, take our data science to the next level, meaning that you would also work hands-on owning machine learning use cases as part of that team. You'll also be a facilitator and an enabler for the team to do what they do best by making personal development plans, hosting regular 1on1s, and so forth. We’ll be looking for you to facilitate the future of data science at Wolt, whether that’s hiring new team members, leveling up data science across the company, or helping the organization to understand the possibilities of data science and machine learning.

Join us to build that future!
