Jouw nieuwe baan en werkplek

Do you want to make impact, work for the biggest retailers in The Netherlands and help shape our growing Data Science & Engineering team? Then we're looking for you.

As a Senior Data Scientist at Albert Heijn, you will be part of the ambitious Data Science team within our Strategy & Analytics department.

Our team is behind many high impact projects within Albert Heijn both online and in stores. Several of these projects like Bonus Box personalized offers (check Bonus Box out in the AH app) have high public visibility while others such as promo forecasting are key to planning logistics and finances.

You will use applied statistical techniques, machine learning, A/B testing, evaluating causation and impact. You will take projects from design/conceptualization through proof of concepts to release as live products.

Our team of +/- 25 data scientists and data engineers are continuously stimulated and challenged while working with the wealth of data at Albert Heijn.
