Customer Data Scientist

Hello and welcome to start your next journey with Sellforte!

We are on a mission to help retailers and consumer brands accelerate their growth by making smarter data-driven marketing decisions. Sellforte is a Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM) SaaS for marketing teams and agencies to holistically evaluate and improve the effectiveness of marketing and promotional activities.

We are not acompany that only shows cool marketing metrics or fancy dashboards – we deliver real impact based on Bayesian methods and data science. For example, check out the video below how C&A's Analytics Director Gina de Ryck and Marketing Director Dr. Maik Kleinschmidt use Sellforte as an integral tool in their teams to improve marketing performance.

Serving modern data-driven marketing leaders like Gina and Maik, we have grown rapidly, and we have an ambitious plan to continue growing the company to new markets. It is an exciting opportunity also due to the current bigger developments in the marketing industry, where new privacy norms are eradicating measurement by user-level attribution, and probabilistic and econometric solutions like Sellforte are expected to gain ground.

You will join a team of roughly fifteen bad-ass data scientists, who are the spine for our business, and you’ll work closely with many experts from various fields (for example Customer Success Managers, Software Developers, Sales). In addition, you'll get the chance to work with smaller andbigger marketers andconsumer brands and make a real impact in their marketing by offering insights based on the data and modelling.
