Roles and responsibilities

As a Senior Manager leading the Growth Data Science unit, you will play a pivotal role in leading and accelerating growth strategies across multiple dimensions, including marketing optimization and efficiency, growth product initiatives (e.g., churn reduction), ecosystem plays (e.g., subscription models and rewards), and ads revenue optimization. This leadership position will require close collaboration with product teams, senior marketing and partner growth leadership, ultimately driving data-driven decision-making and achieving transformative business growth.

You will collaborate closely with business leaders, and a dynamic team of data scientists and engineers. Your leadership will ensure the seamless integration of the data value chain—from data collection and modeling to analysis, reporting, and experimentation—ultimately empowering Talabat to achieve operational excellence and unparalleled customer satisfaction.

What's On Your Plate?

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the strategic vision for harnessing data to refine and enhance logistics operations. This involves identifying key opportunities for process optimization, cost reduction, and service quality improvements, ensuring that data science initiatives are perfectly aligned with Talabat's broader business goals.
  • Champion the adoption of a data-driven culture within logistics operations, emphasizing the importance of basing decisions on rigorous data analysis and actionable insights. This includes promoting the use of advanced analytics and data science methodologies across all levels of logistics operations.
  • Build and maintain strong collaborative relationships with key stakeholders across product, business, and engineering teams. Ensure that data science projects are integrated with and supportive of overall business strategies, fostering a cohesive approach to achieving Talabat's objectives.
  • Guide, mentor, and develop a highly skilled team of data scientists and data analysts. Set clear performance goals, facilitate professional development opportunities, and foster a supportive and innovative work environment that attracts top talent.
  • Spearhead innovative data science projects, including the application of predictive analytics, machine learning models, and optimization algorithms. Focus on projects that have the potential to significantly impact logistics efficiency and customer satisfaction.
  • Ensure the development and maintenance of a robust and scalable data infrastructure that supports advanced analytics and data science activities. This includes advocating for best practices in data governance, quality control, and compliance with relevant data protection regulations.
  • Oversee the generation of insightful analytical reports and dashboards that track key performance indicators (KPIs) and provide strategic insights to both the logistics team and senior management. Ensure that these insights are actionable and contribute to informed decision-making processes.
  • Serve as a key point of communication between the data science unit and both internal and external stakeholders. Translate complex data-driven insights into clear, understandable, and actionable recommendations for various audiences.
  • Stay abreast of the latest trends and advancements in data science, logistics, and technology. Incorporate cutting-edge practices and tools into Talabat's data science strategy to maintain a competitive edge and foster continuous improvement.
  • Effectively manage resources and priorities to strike a balance between long-term strategic initiatives and immediate operational needs. Ensure that the data science team's efforts are focused on projects with the highest potential for positive impact on Talabat's operations.
  • Design, implement, and manage experimental frameworks, such as A/B testing, to validate new ideas and measure their impact on logistics performance. Use these insights to guide continuous improvement efforts.
Desired candidate profile
  • Proficient in the full data analysis lifecycle, including problem formulation, data auditing, rigorous analysis, interpretation, and presentation.
  • Advanced skills in data analysis tools and programming languages such as Python, R, and SQL.
  • Demonstrated expertise in data modeling, dimensional design, and the ability to understand and manipulate complex data structures.
  • Strong background in experiment design and statistical analysis, capable of conducting and analyzing A/B and multivariate tests.
  • Knowledge of Big Data technologies, preferably with experience in BigQuery and the Google Cloud Platform.
  • Experience in data engineering and pipeline development, e.g., through tools like Airflow, is highly regarded.
  • Familiarity with classical machine learning frameworks (e.g., Scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM) is advantageous.

Qualifications:

  • A minimum of 8+ years of experience in data science, with at least 3+ years in a leadership role managing data teams or operations.
  • Proven leadership ability in managing diverse, high-performing teams and in developing and executing strategic plans to meet business objectives.
  • Exceptional collaboration and communication skills, capable of guiding, influencing, and persuading a wide range of stakeholders.
