Decision Scientist, Revenue, Ads
Brief info about Vinted
Our mission is to make second-hand the first choice, and we're looking for people who want to help us get there. Every day, we work together to help our members buy and sell pre-loved clothing and lifestyle items, giving each piece a second life – or even a third.
The Vinted Group is made up of three business units that support this mission:
Vinted Marketplace is Europe’s leading platform for second-hand fashion and a go-to destination for all kinds of pre-loved items, with a growing range of categories. Our platform connects millions of members across 20+ markets, helping great items find a new life.
Vinted Go enhances the shipping experience with a vast network of over 500,000 pick-up and drop-off points, partnering with more than 60 carriers across Europe, with added services like item verification for peace of mind on high-value pieces.
Vinted Pay is the newest part of the Vinted Group, dedicated to bringing secure, reliable payments to buyers and sellers across Europe. Seamlessly integrated into the Vinted app, it helps keep every transaction safe, efficient, and easy for our members.
Founded in 2008 in Lithuania, Vinted began as a way for friends to find new homes for clothes they no longer needed. In 2019, we became Lithuania's first unicorn! Today, our headquarters remain in Vilnius, and we've grown with offices across Europe, supported by a team of over 2,000 people. Our backers include Accel, EQT Growth, Insight Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sprints, and TPG.
Information about the position
Vinted’s Revenue domain is growing — Ads business is on the mission to develop an advertising ecosystem within Vinted and we’re just getting started. We are a cross-functional team of Designers, Product Managers, Engineering and Data professionals. We also work closely with Ads Operations and Ads Sales business units. We’re looking for a Decision Scientist to join Ads to help us make the most of our real estate and evolve toward a high‑performance, privacy‑respectful, in‑house advertising ecosystem over time. Think: an ad of an external partner can generate euros directly but we may well advertise our own Marketplace services or let the user go undisturbed in their Vinted path. If you love shaping greenfield problems, developing user experience and turning data into decisions that bring impact, this role is for you.
In this position, you’ll
- Drive domain objectives: Balance performance and user experience within the marketplace for the most optimal long-term outcomes for advertisers and Vinted members.
- Lead data-driven decision-making: Partner with your team and stakeholders at Vinted, to identify strategic opportunities and provide data-informed recommendations, as well as answer critical business questions.
- Ensure collaboration and alignment: Partner closely with Data Scientists, Ads Engineering, Ad Operations, Product, and Revenue leadership teams to translate business goals into robust data and model choices. Communicate trade-offs clearly and early.
- Unlock impact with data: Leverage internal behavioural signals to improve impression performance while respecting user well-being. Turn insights into actionable policies that scale across campaigns and surfaces.
- Leverage experimentation: Test and analyse new ads types and placements to validate their value and understand their business impact, using statistical methods and visualisation tools. Lead the culture of iterative development and AB testing.
- Raise the bar on quality: Establish clear metrics for success (delivery health, incremental revenue, ad harm), instrument reliable measurements through experimentation.
- Enable stakeholders: Create self-service tools for your product team and business stakeholders to independently leverage data for business insights.
- Build the future: Contribute to the long-term vision of a Vinted Ads Network. Ensure that placements for ads are located in optimal spaces in the app, considering Advertiser performance and user experience.
- Continuously improve: Stay current on optimisation, experimentation, and ads tech best practices — and bring those ideas into our day-to-day.
