The posting

Head of Data Science Location: Hybrid (Remote with Weekly Travel to Leeds Head Office) Salary: Highly Competitive Basic + Car + Benefits Shape the future of Data Science at one of the UK's largest logistics networks We're looking for an outstanding Head of Data Science to lead our next phase of growth. This is a rare opportunity to join a business where data science is already delivering measurable commercial value and where senior leaders are actively investing in taking that capability further. You'll inherit a high-performing team, executive sponsorship, a significant portfolio of opportunities, and an advanced Databricks platform that is central to our data and AI strategy. This isn't about proving the value of data science. It's about scaling it. Why join Evri? At Evri, data science is embedded in how the business operates. Our models help shape:

Courier pay and incentives Resource and workforce forecasting Transport and network planning Final-mile route optimisation Parcel journey analysis and operational improvement initiatives

The current portfolio delivers £10m+ of annual business benefit, and we're creating the capability to deliver significantly more. As Head of Data Science, you'll play a pivotal role in identifying where advanced analytics, machine learning and optimisation can create the greatest value across the organisation, whilst ensuring solutions move efficiently from concept into production. The Opportunity You'll lead a team of nine Data Science and Analytics professionals, developing capability, setting direction and creating an environment where great work turns into measurable business outcomes. You'll partner with senior leaders across Operations, Commercial and Finance to:

Prioritise the highest-value opportunities Deliver measurable commercial and operational benefits Accelerate the adoption of machine learning and optimisation techniques to solve business problems Improve production standards and MLOps maturity Drive greater value from our enterprise data platform Establish best practice for advanced analytics across the wider organisation

Beyond your direct team, you'll help shape standards and influence a broader analytics community across Evri. A World-Class Platform to Build Upon We've already invested heavily in our data foundations. Our Data Science capability is built on a modern Databricks Lakehouse platform, enabling large-scale machine learning, optimisation and advanced analytics across the business. You'll work closely with Data Engineering to continue evolving the platform and ensuring it supports the next generation of data science, AI and decision intelligence solutions. Databricks experience is essential. We're looking for someone who has successfully delivered production-grade data science solutions within a Databricks environment and can combine deep technical credibility with strategic leadership capability. What You'll Bring You're a proven Data Science leader (at Head of level), who knows how to translate technical capability into commercial value. You'll bring:

Significant experience leading Data Science, Machine Learning, Operational Research or Statistics teams Experience managing and developing teams of eight or more professionals A track record of delivering production models that generated measurable business or customer outcomes Strong expertise in Databricks, Python and SQL Experience applying machine learning, forecasting or optimisation techniques to solve large-scale operational or commercial challenges The ability to influence senior leaders and shape strategic decision-making Excellent communication skills, with the ability to make complex technical concepts accessible and actionable A passion for building capability, setting standards and developing high-performing teams

What Success Looks Like Success in this role isn't measured by the number of models built. It's measured by the value they create. You'll be recognised for increasing the commercial impact of data science across the business, improving the speed and quality of delivery, raising technical standards and helping Evri turn advanced analytics into a genuine competitive advantage. Why This Role Stands Out

Lead one of the most impactful Data Science functions in UK logistics Shape the future of AI, machine learning and optimisation at enterprise scale Own a portfolio already delivering £10m+ annual value Influence executive decision-making across a complex national operation Work with a Databricks platform and rich operational datasets Develop and grow a talented team with strong foundations already in place Join a business where Data Science is valued, funded and expected to drive real results

If you're excited by the challenge of combining leadership, commercial impact, Databricks-driven innovation and large-scale operational optimisation, we'd love to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
