Overview
We are supporting a leading eCommerce business in the search for a Senior Experimentation Data Scientist to deliver high-impact experimentation across logistics and operational initiatives.
This role is explicitly not product-focused and will centre on experimentation relating to promotions, operational efficiency, and logistics performance.
This is a fast-moving engagement with tight timelines, requiring someone who can hit the ground running and operate autonomously within a squad-based delivery model.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and execute experimentation frameworks focused on logistics and operational use cases
- Lead A/B testing and controlled experiments to evaluate promotional and operational changes
- Ensure analytical robustness through sense-checking data, assumptions, and outputs
- Work closely with engineers, analysts, and operational stakeholders within a squad environment
- Translate experimental outcomes into clear, actionable recommendations for the business
- Operate independently while maintaining strong collaboration across technical teams
Technical Requirements
- Advanced SQL (including joins, validation logic, and data interrogation)
- Strong Python for analysis and experimentation workflows
- Experience working with Google BigQuery or comparable cloud data platforms
Experimentation Expertise
- Proven experience designing and building experimentation frameworks
- Strong grounding in experimental design, statistical validity, and bias mitigation
- Confident explaining experimental approaches verbally, not just via documentation
Ideal Contractor Profile

- Comfortable working at pace in short, delivery-focused contracts
- Able to work independently with minimal oversight

- Well-prepared, pragmatic, and delivery-oriented
