ABOUT THE ROLE
The core of this role is to help the Partnership make insight-driven, better informed, customer-centric decisions specifically in our Commercial, Retail and Supply Chain domains.
In order to do this, you will need to work closely with teams across these domains in the Partnership, getting close to their world, hearing their problems and spotting the opportunities to make improvements. You will use your analytical mindset and knowledge of the customer to improve the speed and quality of decision making.
A Data Scientist focused on the Commercial, Retail and Supply Chain domains would typically solve problems such as Demand Forecasting, Price Optimisation and a range of other Constrained Optimisation tasks such as optimising markdowns to reduce food waste or setting the optimal safety stock in Distribution Centres. This role sits within a central Data Science team that covers John Lewis, Waitrose and John Lewis Money.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about solving these types of business problems across a broad spectrum of techniques that extend far and wide across consumer facing touchpoints that drive real impact in day to day situations. The successful applicant will play a hands-on role in shaping, building and deploying business solutions alongside stakeholders and other Data Scientists and ML Engineers.

Hybrid working: This is a hybrid working role, therefore your time will primarily be split between working from home and Bracknell Head Office. However, there will also be an expectation to visit other locations as the need arises.
Our team currently works from the office once a week to connect and on a more ad-hoc basis to attend key meetings, but again the frequency is dependent on the business needs.
Expected Salary - £62,000 - £85,000 (depending upon experience)
Contract type - This position is a permanent role.
