THE COMPANY: A pioneering player in the circular economy is looking for a hands‑on Data Science Manager to take ownership of their pricing strategy during a period of major growth. Founded over 20 years ago, the company has scaled from a small UK start‑up to a global business with 1,000+ employees, multiple international offices, and a rapidly expanding Direct‑to‑Consumer offering. Backed by recent private equity investment, they are now doubling down on data, automation, and best‑in‑class pricing capability.


THE ROLE: This is a high‑impact opportunity to lead and mature the pricing function within a fast‑paced, data‑rich environment. You'll manage a small team of Data Science and Pricing specialists across the UK and US, while partnering closely with commercial leadership to build a world‑class pricing engine.


WHAT YOU'LL DO:



  • Lead a team of 3 (UK & US) across Data Science and Pricing
  • Own the full pricing product lifecycle – modelling, deployment, testing, optimisation
  • Improve existing algorithms and develop best practices for pricing across markets
  • Deploy models in collaboration with the Data Platform/Engineering teams
  • Work directly with senior commercial stakeholders to translate insights into action
  • Operate in a high‑change environment where speed, experimentation and adaptability are key

YOUR SKILLS:



  • Strong hands‑on Data Science background (Python essential)
  • Experience managing Data Science or Pricing teams
  • Proven ability to build, optimise, and operationalise pricing models
  • Excellent communication skills – able to influence senior non‑technical leaders
  • Entrepreneurial mindset – comfortable working in ambiguity and solving problems end‑to‑end
  • Customer and product‑focused, with a commercial approach to decision‑making

TECH STACK: Python | SQL | GCP | Tableau


WHY APPLY? Join a mission‑led, high‑growth business where data makes a tangible, measurable impact every day. You'll shape a critical product, influence the commercial strategy, and help build a best‑in‑class pricing capability at a global scale.
