Fresha’s ecosystem gives merchants everything they need to run their business seamlessly by facilitating appointment bookings, point-of-sale, customer records management, marketing automation, loyalty, beauty products inventory and team management.

The consumer marketplace unlocks revenue potential for partner businesses by leveraging the power of online bookings and automated marketing through mobile apps and advanced integrations with major tech brands including Instagram, Facebook and Google.

We process millions of transactions and generate rich behavioural data across consumers and partners. Despite this, data science is still early at Fresha. That's the opportunity.

About the Role

We're hiring a Head of Data Science to build DS into a core function at Fresha, not manage what already exists. Today the team is small but technically strong. We have production ML models in fraud detection, text moderation, and taxonomy classification, running on SageMaker with a dbt/Snowflake data stack. But we're operating reactively, and we know there's significantly more value DS can unlock across the marketplace.

You'll have a clear mandate, leadership buy-in, and a technically strong team already in place. Your job is to set the direction, grow the team, and make data science visible and indispensable to how Fresha makes decisions and builds products.

This role is right for you if you've done this before - taken a small DS team at a scaling company and turned it into something the business can't operate without.

To foster a collaborative environment that thrives on face-to-face interactions and teamwork, this role will be based in our dog-friendly office 5 days per week in London: The Bower, 207-122, Old Street, London EC1V 9NR.
