Job description

About Scento

Scento is Europe's largest perfume decant website. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Paris on Place Vendôme, with a second office in Berlin, Scento offers more than 1,000 original designer and niche perfumes from a roster of 200 houses as perfume decants: 2 ml, 5 ml and 8 ml vials plus a 30 ml bottle on most perfumes. Niche perfume samples and designer fragrance samples let people discover a scent before they commit to a full bottle. Every perfume is an original bought from authorised European retailers, and every bottle passes a 12-point intake check at Scento's ISO-certified facility before it is decanted.

The role

Scento sells more than 1,000 original designer and niche perfumes to customers in 27 European markets, and every decision about marketing spend, stock and assortment depends on numbers people can trust. Today those numbers are good; the ambition is for them to be exceptional.

• Set the roadmap, standards and hiring plan for the data function as it grows.

What you'll bring

• 8+ years in analytics or data science, including 3+ leading a data function in e-commerce or consumer tech.
• Excellent SQL and statistics, with hands‑on experience of modern data stacks and product analytics.
• Marketing measurement experience, including incrementality and attribution.

What we offer

• Salary at the top of the market plus an annual performance bonus.
• Remote-friendly within the EU, with offices in Paris (Place Vendôme) and Berlin.
• A personal learning budget of €2,500 a year for courses, conferences and books.
• 30 days of paid holiday a year, plus public holidays.
