Your impact
You will join the Revenue Operations Domain, partnering specifically with our Commercial and Growth teams. Your goal isn't just to build models—it's to solve critical business problems that directly affect Mollie’s bottom line.
As a Data Scientist, you will turn complex data into actionable strategies. You will focus on understanding merchant behavior, predicting churn, and optimizing how we acquire and retain customers. You’ll be the bridge between raw data and business strategy, using advanced analytics and machine learning to help our commercial teams make smarter, faster decisions.
What you'll ship
Develop and maintain predictive models for churn prediction, customer lifetime value (LTV), and lead scoring to optimize our commercial funnel.
Design and analyse A/B tests and experiments to measure the impact of new pricing strategies, campaigns, and product features.
Apply uplift modeling to identify which merchants will respond best to specific retention or upsell efforts.
Translate complex business questions into clear data problems, and translate the results back into actionable advice for non-technical stakeholders.
Continuously monitor model performance and impact, ensuring our insights remain accurate and relevant as the market changes.
Adopt best practices and standards for the development of robust ML models.
Collaborate closely with MLEs to prepare your code & model for production using our ML Platform.
What you'll bring
3+ years of experience in Data Science or Advanced Analytics, with a focus on commercial, growth, or product problems.
Strong proficiency in Python (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn) and SQL for data manipulation and modeling.
A solid foundation in statistics and machine learning (regression, classification, clustering, causal inference).
Experience with experimentation (A/B testing) and the ability to distinguish between correlation and causation.
The ability to communicate complex data insights clearly to commercial stakeholders and leadership.
Familiarity with cloud environments (GCP, BigQuery) and version control (Git).
Grow your way
At Mollie, growth is personal. We believe everyone should have the chance to develop their skills, explore new challenges and shape their career on their own terms.
You’ll get regular feedback and performance reviews to support your development, with fair and transparent salary reviews along the way. Many Mollies move into new roles or take on new projects to stretch themselves, and we actively hire from within to help you take the next step.
No matter if you’re aiming for promotion, exploring a different career path or building new skills, you’ll be supported with the tools, trust and opportunities to grow your way.
