Data Analyst / Decision Scientist, Marketing

At Vinted, Marketing and Shipping Pricing are two key channels to grow our platform by making high-stake investment decisions. This is a unique chance to join one of these areas because we have two Decision Scientist openings in the team: one in the Reach Marketing area, and another one in Shipping Pricing. As a Decision Scientist, you’ll join our Marketing Data Science & Analytics (Marketing DSA) team where a mix of talented people with backgrounds from academia, econometrics, e-commerce, consulting, and media apply a scientific approach to solve worldwide business problems. You will report to the Manager of Data Science & Analytics, Reach Marketing Intelligence, and will work in the team of experienced Marketing Decision and Data Scientists.

In the Reach Marketing area, we develop statistical and business models, create new methods to measure marketing success, perform advanced data analyses, and ensure that marketing data is reliable. The team specialises in the evaluation of Offline/Reach marketing channels performance and causal ROI measurement. By enabling the marketing team to optimise our investments, you will be responsible for moving millions of people to the path of sustainable consumption. You’ll be expected to be able to accomplish projects individually but at the same time, you’ll have all the support from the team, the DSA guild, and your lead that you may need.

In the Shipping Pricing domain, in addition to being a member of Marketing DSA, you’ll also become a member of the Shipping Pricing team – a key team driving Vinted Marketplace growth through shipping discount strategies. Your primary responsibility will be to enable the team to optimise our investments via experimentation (AB testing), in-depth data analysis, and creation of new ROI models. In this role, you will collaborate with analytics engineers, decision scientists, and pricing analysts to identify and fulfil data requirements in this area.
