About Motorway
Motorway is the UK’s fastest-growing used car marketplace – our award-winning, online-only platform connects private car sellers with thousands of verified dealers nationwide, ensuring everyone gets the best deal. Founded in 2017, our technology-led approach has redefined the experience of selling a car, generating thousands of monthly car sales and helping us to grow to a team of more than 400 people across our London and Brighton offices.
About the Role
We're seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Senior Data Scientist to join our newly formed Marketplace team. This team is pivotal in driving Motorway's next stage of growth by optimising our online auction platform and ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for both car sellers and dealers. You’ll play a key role in developing and implementing innovative data-driven solutions that directly impact the core of our business. This includes leveraging data-driven insights to refine our auction mechanics, building predictive models to predict outcome propensity, and enhancing the user experience through personalisation.
To succeed in this role, you’ll need a strong background in data science, statistics, predictive modelling, and (preferably) behavioural psychology; with demonstrable experience thinking creatively to create solutions that deliver significant business value at scale. While experience in an auction/ marketplace dynamic will help, whatever your background, you should be as excited as we are about the transformative potential of using data to optimise outcomes for the entire marketplace end to end.
