It is the result of innovative technology and genuine commitment. Good work starts here.

The role Data is at the core of Zenjob’s marketplace, and we’re looking for a collaborative, forward-thinking Head of Analytics & Data Science to guide our next chapter. In this role, you will lead and mature our data and analytics function, helping the team unlock actionable insights and scale their impact across the company. You will help us integrate Artificial Intelligence further into our everyday work—both in how we optimize our platform and how we improve our internal workflows. If you are a pragmatic leader who loves mentoring developing talent, solving marketplace puzzles, and exploring practical AI applications, we’d love to meet you.

What you’ll do

• Nurture and Grow the Team: Coach and develop our team of Data Scientists and Analysts. You will foster a healthy, collaborative culture rooted in continuous learning, best practices, and practical business impact.
• Integrate AI into Everyday Work: Guide the team in adopting modern AI tools and methodologies to improve our daily workflows, while helping identify smart opportunities to leverage AI.
• Drive Pragmatic Execution: Manage the roadmap for data initiatives. You will keep a steady delivery pace, ensuring the team's output translates into clear, measurable value for Zenjob.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner closely with Data, Engineering and Business stakeholders to ensure we are building a collaborative, reliable, and accessible data ecosystem.
• Focus on What Matters: Help the team prioritize high-impact initiatives, ensuring we are solving mission-critical business problems rather than getting lost in the noise.

What you bring

• Team Leadership Experience: A proven track record of managing and developing data professionals (analysts and/or data scientists) in a fast-paced environment.
• An Open Mind Toward AI: Curiosity and practical experience with modern AI tools, with a clear view of how to use them to automate workflows and enhance analytical capabilities.
• Marketplace Intuition: Prior experience or a deep understanding of two-sided marketplace dynamics (supply, demand, and matching optimization) is highly valued.
• Strong Business Translation: The ability to bridge the gap between technical data work and business reality, turning complex analysis into simple, actionable insights for stakeholders.
• Solid Technical Foundations: A strong background in data modeling, analytical methodologies, and experimentation, combined with a highly pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
• Great Communication Skills: An empathetic communication style that allows you to influence stakeholders, build trust, and bring people along on the data journey.

What we offer

Innovative mission: Together we create something new. Work in a dynamic set-up where you learn a lot and your every idea is heard. Unique team spirit: We can rely on each other blindly and celebrate all successes together as a team.

• Vacation: Recreation and further education is important, which is why we offer 28 days of paid vacation (increased by 1 day for every 2 calendar years of service with us, up to a maximum of 30 days), 1 day of special leave for community service, 5 days of paid educational leave, and the possibility of unpaid leave
