Data Science Manager
Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation and growth drive everything we do. Our Data Science organisation sits at the heart of Deliveroo, powering decision‑making across product, commercial and operational teams through experimentation, causal inference and machine learning.
We’re hiring multiple Data Science Managers across different areas of the business. Rather than hiring for one fixed team, we use the interview process to understand your strengths, interests and development areas, and then align you to the right scope, level and team.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll own the analytical direction and measurable impact of a product or business area, while leading and developing a high performing team of data scientists or machine learning engineers. Depending on the area you join, you could be:
Building experimentation and causal inference frameworks to improve customer retention, loyalty and subscription growth
Leading pricing, promotions or value strategy, balancing growth, profitability and long‑term customer trust
Developing machine learning or optimisation models for delivery logistics, rider pricing or marketplace efficiency
Improving discovery, search or personalisation through rapid iteration on high‑impact algorithms
Driving customer acquisition and engagement across restaurants, retail or new verticals using data‑led targeting and incentives
Across all roles, you’ll remain hands‑on while managing a team. You’ll decide which problems are worth solving and ensure data science work translates into better product and commercial decisions, not just analysis. You'll partner with Product, Engineering, Ops, Marketing and Finance as a thought partner, and set the bar for analytical rigour, prioritisation and impact across noisy metrics, real trade‑offs and strong stakeholder opinions.
What You’ll Need to Thrive
Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:
Experience line managing data scientists or machine learning engineers and supporting their career development
A strong background as a senior individual contributor, with hands‑on experience in experimentation, causal inference or applied machine learning
Proven ability to identify high‑impact opportunities and turn insights into clear strategy and execution
Confidence working with senior stakeholders and explaining complex technical concepts to non‑technical audiences
Comfort operating in fast moving, ambiguous environments where prioritisation and judgement matter as much as technical skill
Why Join Us?
At Deliveroo, you’ll work on real world problems at global scale, across a three‑sided marketplace that is constantly evolving.
We’re food lovers, problem solvers, community organisers and more, united by a shared drive to make things better. Working here, you can expect:
High autonomy to shape strategy and deliver meaningful impact
Support to learn and grow through L&D programmes, mentoring and peer learning
A strong focus on wellbeing, with benefits that vary by country
A place to belong, with a diverse global workforce and active employee communities
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
At Deliveroo, we believe great workplaces reflect the world around us. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio‑economic background, religion or belief.
If you require adjustments at any stage of the application or interview process, please let us know. We’re committed to ensuring everyone has an equitable opportunity to succeed.
