Depop is currently in the process of rapid growth, with Paid Marketing performing a critical role. As part of this, there is a demand for complex, in-depth measurement to help us understand performance of this investment and drive the future strategy. There is therefore space for a Staff Data Scientist to become an integral part of our Marketing Analytics team.

The marketing analytics team works closely with marketing stakeholders to support all aspects of Depops marketing portfolio. This includes working to support the team plan campaigns and measure performance across a suite of channels, including paid marketing, ATL (for example TV and OOH) and Influencers. We also work with many other parts of the business, for example the data team, to ensure that data being produced is accurate and useful for analysis, or the Adtech team to implement new tools and tracking across our marketing ecosystem.

The Staff Data Scientist will work to support our marketing team to measure the effectiveness of our paid marketing efforts, using analytical methodology and insights. You will help to drive our measurement roadmap, developing and implementing techniques including Multi Touch Attribution (MTA), designing and implementing tests and analysis on our targeting efforts and building models to understand the Lifetime Value (LTV) of customers acquired through marketing. The role will work with Senior Marketing Leadership and the Executive to drive the agenda around our measurement approach and provide advice on overall Marketing strategy. This role will therefore require you to develop a deep understanding of a specific area and also a high level view across the business, enabling you to guide your stakeholders to make robust, data-driven business decisions.
