Commercial Data Scientist (Flip Team)

• Build and scale price elasticity models for the shop: conversion versus price at product level, feeding the Pricing engine directly, with clear guardrails on Gross Margin.
• Industrialize the Pricing engine: evolve it from its current Excel and Python setup toward an automated, product-level system.
• Design and execute pricing experiments and A/B tests across shops, and convert results into recommendations with quantified impact.
• Act as the sounding board for the Commercial team: pressure-test plans, assortment choices and price moves with data before they land.
• Be a sparring partner to the Demand/Growth team: challenge and sharpen the demand and pricing thinking behind the growth plan, not just report on it.
• Generate insights on elasticity, customer behavior and market dynamics per market, using fair like-for-like comparisons.
• Establish best practices for analytics, experimentation and AI usage, including automated reporting against budget and current forecast.
• Build models and frameworks that make trade-offs explicit: price versus volume, category mix versus margin, promotional cost versus incremental units.
• Act as a trusted analytical partner to growth, marketing, supply, finance, and product leadership, and navigate competing priorities across them.

What you’ll have to do

What this role is really about

The core of the job is triangulation: reconciling several independent angles on the same number until you can defend it and explain what moved it. We expect you to triangulate three sets of drivers:

• GMV: what is driving growth, or holding it back.
• Profitability: the quality of that growth, not just its size.
• Forecast accuracy: how much confidence we can put behind the plan.

Triangulate means you never take a single number at face value. You cross-check top-down against bottom-up, model against actuals, volume against price, and you can always say which driver moved and by how much (by having a clear view of correlation and causality between drivers).

What makes you a good fit

• 5+ years in data science / commercial analysis, business intelligence, management consulting, or a similar role in a data-intensive environment.
• A quantitative degree (Machine Learning, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or related).
• Strong foundations in statistics, predictive modeling and machine learning.
• Hands-on proficiency in Python and SQL.
• Proven experience in time-series forecasting (modeling, feature engineering, evaluation at scale).
• A/B testing and experimental design experience with measurable business impact.
• Daily use of AI tools in your workflow. FLIP runs Claude Enterprise across the company; we expect you to build with it, not around it.
• A proactive, self-starting mindset with end-to-end ownership of your domain.
• Strong stakeholder management: you can hold your ground in a commercial debate and explain what a model implies for the P&L to senior leadership, in plain language.

What you can expect

• A rare opportunity to be a key commercial voice in one of SEE’s most exciting tech companies.
• High autonomy and direct impact on decisions that shape the business.
• A culture that values analysis over gut feel and moves fast when the data is clear.
