We’re Adevinta, a global leader in digital marketplaces. Our household name brands, including Marktplaats in the Netherlands, mobile.de in Germany and leboncoin in France, reach hundreds of millions of people every month.

We’re all about matchmaking, and our sites help people find whatever they’re looking for in their local communities – whether it’s a car, an apartment, a sofa or a new job. Every connection made or item found makes a difference by creating a world where people share more and waste less.

Our brands are supported by global Tech Hubs in Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin. Their goal is to develop common global products and innovation platforms which all of our brands can use. This means using cutting edge technology to create highly scalable, customisable and secure products and components that free up development time and leverage our access to global data.

What you’ll do ​& Who you are

We’re looking for a Data Scientist to drive sales performance through advanced analytics and machine learning. This role focuses on developing models such as churn prediction, next best action/offer, cluster segmentation and lead scoring - directly supporting sales teams in acquiring, converting, and retaining customers. Working closely with commercial stakeholders, you'll turn data into impact by embedding AI into core sales processes.

• Design, develop, and implement advanced machine learning models to optimize commercial performance across the sales funnel.

• Partner closely with data engineers and data analysts in a collaborative, cross-functional team to ensure robust data pipelines and actionable insights.

• Build and maintain Next Best Action (NBA) and Next Best Offer (NBO) models to support personalized and timely sales interventions.

• Develop and refine churn prediction, upsell, and cross-sell models to improve customer retention and lifetime value.

• Work closely with Sales, Sales Development, and Growth teams to understand business needs and translate them into scalable data solutions.

• Deploy models into production and monitor their performance over time, ensuring continuous improvement and business impact.

• Contribute to the development of dynamic lead scoring, segmentation, and prioritization frameworks.

• Partner with CRM and marketing automation teams to integrate predictive insights into sales workflows and systems.

• Ensure data quality and consistency across key sources, working with data engineering when needed to enhance data pipelines.

• Communicate complex model logic and outcomes clearly to commercial stakeholders, enabling data-driven decisions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, or a related field.

• 3 years of experience as a Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer, ideally in a sales, marketing, or revenue operations context.

• Strong knowledge of predictive modeling techniques, including supervised learning, classification, regression, and clustering.

• Hands-on experience building and deploying models such as NBA, NBO, churn prediction, lead scoring, or customer segmentation.

• Proficiency in Python (Pandas, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, etc.) and SQL; familiarity with notebooks (Jupyter, Databricks).

• Experience working with CRM or sales data and integrating models into commercial workflows.

• Understanding of A/B testing, experimentation, and performance measurement in a sales environment.

• Knowledge of cloud environments (e.g., GCP, AWS, Azure) and experience deploying ML models to production is a strong plus.

• Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

• A business-oriented mindset with a strong sense of ownership and impact in the commercial domain.
