Job DescriptionThe Senior Data Scientist in Strategic Projects at ASOS Supply Chain drives business value by applying advanced analytics, predictive modelling, and or operations research to optimise supply chain processes—including inbound routing, inventory management, warehousing, and last-mile delivery & returns.
The role requires clear communication of insights to diverse stakeholders, collaboration across teams, and a strong academic or applied background. We are looking for someone who is adaptable, entrepreneurial, and committed to continuous improvement, integrity, and inclusivity. You'll also have the chance to mentor others and deliver actionable insights for strategic decisions.
The Details
- Analyse supply chain data to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement in inbound operations, warehouse operations, and delivery & returns.
- Develop and deploy predictive and optimisation models delivering measurable business outcomes (cost savings, efficiency gains, mean shift improvements)
- Collaborate with supply chain, technical, and senior management teams to present findings and drive adoption of solutions
- Evangelise data quality and governance standards, identifying and resolving data quality gaps
- Mentor data analysts within Supply Chain and contribute to the broader data science community within ASOS
- DE&I: Supporting our culture by championing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategies.
We believe being together in person helps us move faster, connect more deeply, and achieve more as a team. That’s why our approach to working together includes spending at least 3 days a week in the office. It’s a rhythm that speeds up decision-making, helps ASOSers learn from each other more quickly, and builds the kind of culture where people can grow, create, and succeed.
