- Working with country operations teams to plan and design experiments for demand, supply and market-clearing levers (e.g. via changes in pricing, driver incentives, driver dispatch logic)
- Coaching and empowering your team to conduct rigorous, independent analysis to shape incentive and supply management decisions and product development
**The Must-Haves**

- At least 2 years of experience in managing a team of analysts/data scientists
- Proficiency in experimental design (A/B testing) - experience in causal inference and solving prediction, classification and optimisation problems is a plus
- Familiarity with SQL and either R or Python
- Passionate and enthusiastic about solving complex, multifaceted problems
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and solve ambiguous problems in a fast-paced environment
**Our Commitment**
We are committed to building diverse teams and creating an inclusive workplace that enables all Grabbers to perform at their best, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion, age, gender identity or sexual orientation and other attributes that make each Grabber unique.
