Lead Decision Scientist, Revenue, Purchase & Order

Information about the position

The Revenue, Purchase & Order area spans three domains, which define the user experience through the entire escrow service funnel we offer at Vinted. From the value-driven pricing propositions, to smooth checkout and messaging experience, to the successful order fulfillment and addressing challenges when things go wrong. How do we optimise discounts for acceptable ROI and platform growth? How do we use pricing strategies for generating revenue without a cost on growth speed? How can we decrease cancellations through levers within and beyond your scope? And finally, how do we reduce friction for users’ order management? All these questions need guidance for measurement for us to be confident in steering the decision-making in the right direction.

We’re looking for a Lead Decision Scientist to join our Area DSA team to create impact by identifying and prioritising the most impactful problems to solve within this scope and ensuring they get resolved through influencing stakeholders, enabling your DSA peers to tackle them, or solving them on your own. We expect the Lead Decision Scientist to determine the right approach for each challenge.

You will report directly to the Area DSA lead, and will be part of the Area's DSA leads team. This setup will enable you to deliver impact across all three domains and will require close collaboration with all data roles and product directors for each domain.

In this position, you’ll

• Identify, prioritise, and systematically resolve the most impactful Decision Science problems and opportunities across Pricing, Purchase & Order, ensuring solutions are effective, efficient, and viable long-term
• Build alignment by engaging domain leadership, peers, fellow decision scientists, and cross-functional stakeholders to validate priorities, clarify, and measure trade-offs
• Set and raise the standard for experimentation and decision-making across the scope by improving metrics, methods, interpretation, and how insights are translated into decisions
• Be responsible for the measurability of success for key Marketplace Product programs within your scope
• Partner with the domains' leadership to ensure measurability of OKRs and prioritise accordingly, where the input is needed the most
• Be ready to own and deliver selected initiatives hands-on yourself
