Despite this, data science is still early at Fresha. That's the opportunity.The MandateSolidify data science as a core function at Fresha. Set the data science agenda - don't wait to be handed one. Identify the work that moves revenue or cost, prioritise ruthlessly, and get exec buy-in to make it happen. Champion data science across the business until the function is indispensable to how Fresha makes decisions and builds products.About the RoleWe're hiring a Head of Data Science to build data science into a core function at Fresha, not manage what already exists. The team is small but technically strong - production ML in fraud detection, text moderation, and taxonomy classification, running on SageMaker with a dbt/Snowflake stack. We're operating reactively, and there's significantly more value data science can unlock across the marketplace.You'll have leadership buy-in and a technically strong team already in place. Your job is to set the direction, grow the team, and shift data science from a service function to something the business builds around. This role is right for you if you've done this before - taken a small data science team at a scaling company and turned it into something the business can't operate without.To foster a collaborative environment that thrives on face-to-face interactions and teamwork, this role will be based in our dog-friendly office 4 days per week in London: The Bower, 207-122, Old Street, London EC1V 9NR.What You'll DoSet the agenda & prioritise ruthlesslyDefine the data science roadmap aligned to Fresha's business priorities across marketplace, payments, and partner growthIdentify data science opportunities that move revenue or cost - and deprioritise the restMake the case for data science investment at the exec tableShip impact & build the technical foundationShip ML products that drive measurable business outcomes - not just modelsEstablish experimentation as a discipline: A/B testing, causal inference, automated experimentationBuild foundational data science infrastructure: feature store, model governance, monitoring, CI/CD for MLStay hands-on enough to evaluate architecture, hold technical trade-offs, and contribute to high-impact projectsBuild the functionChampion data science internally through demos, stakeholder education, and proactive engagement with product and commercial teamsScale the team as the roadmap demands - ML engineering, data science, MLOpsDevelop the existing team, create career paths, set technical and cultural standardsWhat the First Year Looks Like3 months: Data science roadmap defined cross-functionally and signed off. High-impact use cases on the table the business hadn't previously identified. First POCs or MVPs in flight. Data science visibly present in product planning - already shifting from reactive to proactive.6 months: Multiple ML/AI use cases shipped or in live evaluation. Experimentation active in at least one product area. Data science achievements visible internally through demos and showcases; early external presence building.12 months: Data science is a recognised, embedded function with a track record of delivery. Experimentation is a working discipline used beyond data science. MLOps maturity has stepped up. The team has grown in line with what was needed to get here.What You BringMust-HavesTrack record of building a data science function from small into something the business relies on - not inheriting oneShipped ML models to production at scale with measurable business outcomesExec-level stakeholder communication - comfortable making the case for data science investment to C-suite, product, and commercial leadersTechnical depth to evaluate architecture, review work, and call the right trade-offsHands-on comfort - reviewing code, contributing to architecture, getting into the weeds when needed4+ years in data science or ML engineering, with 3+ years directly managing data science teamsNice-to-HavesMarketplace, SaaS, or fintech experienceFamiliarity with our stack (SageMaker, Snowflake, dbt, Docker)Built or contributed to experimentation platforms or MLOps infrastructureWhy This RoleReal data, real scale. Millions of transactions monthly across 120+ countries, rich behavioural signals across a two-sided marketplace. The data is there - the value is largely un-unlocked.Strong technical foundation. Production ML stack, a team with deep context across the data and business, working models live. You're accelerating, not bootstrapping.Visible impact. At Fresha's stage, data science improvements flow directly to business metrics. This isn't optimising the fifth decimal place - it's building capabilities that don't exist yet.Exec-level ownership. You'll be at the table with the CTO and Deputy CPO, shaping the data science function from the ground up.Interview ProcessScreen Stage - 30 min call with the Talent Team1st Stage - 60 min video interview: soft skills & technical2nd Stage (Tactical) - 60 min get-to-know session with the data science team3rd Stage (Strategic & Technical Case Study) - 2 hours onsite: case study with the data science + engineering teamFinal Stage - 60 min strategic conversation with the CTO and Deputy Chief Product OfficerWe aim to finalise the entire interview process and deliver feedback within 4 weeks.Every job application received is reviewed manually by our talent team.
