The Data & Science Org

At Deliveroo, we have an outstanding data science organisation, with a mission to enable the highest quality human and machine decision-making. We work throughout the company - in product, business and platform teams - using analysis, experimentation, causal inference and machine learning techniques. We are uniquely placed to use data to help make better decisions and improve data literacy across Deliveroo.

Data Scientists at Deliveroo report into our data science management team, and we have a highly active data science community, with guest lecturers, study groups, mentorship programmes, a robust technical review process, and plenty of opportunities to learn new things. Data Scientists can equally progress as technical leads (individual contributors) and as people managers.

As an Economist at Deliveroo, you will help scale our business and improve the experience for restaurants, riders, and eaters. Using experimental or observational data, you will get to help answer questions like:

• Which markets/cities should we enter next?
• How can we incentivise good rider behaviour?
• What is the business impact of exclusive deals we have with restaurants?
• Can the Delivery food market sustain multiple players?
• What are the trade-offs we face when choosing between growth and profitability? How should we decide between them?
• What is the optimum selection and variety of restaurants?
• What impact do online reviews have?
• How will a change in the user interface affect customer choice behaviour?

The work you will do will have a direct, measurable impact on the bottom line of the company.

Requirements:

• Masters Degree or PhD in Economics or Econometrics (preferred)
• Always curious and willing to learn new skills
• A problem solver with a deep analytical mindset
• Ability to think creatively and insightfully about business-relevant economic problems
• A critical thinker with very strong attention to detail
• Proficiency with analytical tools like R/Python and familiarity with SQL
• Ideally industry experience since the completion of your academic career
• Excellent people skills — you’ll be meeting with stakeholders to translate business needs into economic problems

At Deliveroo, we are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of our hiring process. We recognise that some candidates may require adjustments to apply for a position or fairly participate in the interview process. If you require any adjustments, please don't hesitate to let us know.
