About the role:

As a Senior Manager of Product Data Science, you will be a key leadership figure within the Product Data Science organisation, responsible for building and scaling a high-performing team of Analysts and Data Scientists embedded within Product domains.

You will not only deliver impact through your team, but also raise the overall analytical and technical bar of the organisation, ensuring data science, experimentation, and product analytics are consistently applied at a high standard across multiple product areas.

You will act as a force multiplier for decision-making quality, improving how Product, Engineering, Design, and Commercial teams use data to shape strategy, prioritise work, and evaluate impact.

What You’ll Do 

• Lead, develop, and grow a team of Product Analysts and/or Data Scientists, ensuring consistently high performance, strong technical standards, and clear ownership of impact.
• Drive effective goal-setting, planning and execution processes across Product Data Science, bringing leadership and discipline to OKRs, prioritisation and delivery against strategic objectives. 
• Set and continuously raise the bar for analytical quality, experimentation rigour, and data science application across your teams, ensuring outputs are robust, actionable, and decision-oriented.
• Act as a senior technical and strategic leader, reviewing and shaping high-impact analytical work, experimentation design, and advanced modelling approaches where required.
• Partner closely with senior Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Commercial leaders to define priorities, shape roadmaps, and ensure data science is embedded in strategic decision-making.
• Translate ambiguous business problems into structured analytical and data science problems, ensuring your team delivers clear, commercially meaningful recommendations.
• Drive adoption of scalable analytical frameworks, experimentation standards, and AI-enabled tooling to improve efficiency, consistency, and speed of decision-making across teams.
• Champion best practices in experimentation, causal inference, segmentation, and customer understanding, ensuring statistical and analytical rigor across the organisation.
