Junior Data Scientist Commerce

.

Do you want to be a data scientist that makes impact on the lives of millions of people in the Netherlands and Belgium? Do you want to make sure they can buy all the groceries their hearts’ desire and not miss out on great bonus promotions? Would you like to build data science products in a company with the ambition to base all its decisions on data?

Then we’re looking for you!

In your role as a Junior Data Scientist you will be working in the Merchandising and Sourcing domain within our Data Science & Analytics department. There are many exciting ongoing and upcoming projects in the Merchandising & Sourcing domain. In these projects you will build AI products that help category managers and Retail Specialists to do their day-to-day jobs. You could for example help further shape an algorithm that decides which products earn a place on every meter of shelf in every one of our stores.

Or you could sharpen the model that decides how much space each category gets, so every store reflects what customers actually want. We work closely with category managers, engineers and analysts and others in the organization to deliver value for millions of customers every single day.

While you will hone your craft in your day-to-day work, you will also have the opportunity to shape our way of working within the team and facilitate knowledge sharing across the organization. Your teammates have different backgrounds and nationalities, which we believe is an important asset. But most importantly: we will never stop evolving and learning to unlock value from wealth of data we have at Albert Heijn.
