Founding Data Scientist, Commercial Intelligence

[Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] - London, UK - On-site - Full-time - Mid-Senior level

Posted on May 7, 2026

Job Description

[Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] is Europe's fastest-growing company, number one on the FT1000 and Sifted 100. From £1m to over £100m in under three years, we are now aiming for £1bn. We curate the world's best wellbeing brands across The Four Pillars™: EAT, MOVE, MIND, SLEEP. We are a health company acting like one, moving from e-commerce to a technology platform. This role is critical to making every commercial decision intelligent.

Why This Role

At [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal], nearly every commercial decision is made manually. Pricing, inventory, marketing spend – all trading problems. You will build models that replace gut decisions with evidence, turning data into a commercial advantage. Nobody else has this data: half a million regular customers, daily competitor pricing, and transaction history across four wellbeing categories.

What You Will Own

  • Pricing intelligence: models for price elasticity, margin, and competitor mispricing.
  • Demand and inventory forecasting: predictive models to prevent stock-outs.
  • Marketing and acquisition intelligence: linking ad spend to commercial outcome.
  • The commercial model: a unified quantitative view of the whole system.
  • Bridge to automation: work with the Founding Engineer to turn models into production systems.

Why You're [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]

You think in models, build for commercial decisions, are fluent with modern AI/ML tooling, and are impatient with analysis that doesn't lead to action. You have built something real and are early enough that this is a defining role. Show us a model that influenced a commercial decision, evidence of working with messy real-world data, and proof you can move fast.
