Lead Data Scientist (m/w/d)

5-7 years at the intersection of Data Science, AI Product Management, and Engineering, ideally combining two of: a top-tier consultancy data science practice, a Lead Data Scientist role with team responsibility, or an AI/ML PM role at a scale-up

Technically deep (Python, SQL, ML frameworks, cloud data infrastructure) and able to lead Data Scientists credibly: setting direction on model architecture, reviewing feature engineering choices, and stepping into the code when needed

You think in business cases and revenue impact, not just model accuracy - and can communicate trade-offs clearly to both a CCO and a Data Scientist

Full ownership from day one: roadmap, team direction, and outcomes - not a slice of someone else's initiative

Direct C-level visibility on one of the company's most strategically important AI programs, with a clear path into broader product and leadership roles

An international environment spanning HQ strategy to field sales across European markets, with flexible hybrid working and additional perks including Jobrad eBike leasing and parent-child offices

You set the roadmap, the technical standard, and the business case.
