Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently – we do it all.

About your role: This position sits within Centrica’s Data Science team, a group dedicated to measuring and improving the effectiveness of our business strategies. We’re looking for a highly analytical and detail‑driven Econometrics Manager with strong hands‑on experience in Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM) and modern data science techniques to support our growing analytics function.

In this role, you’ll build robust, fit‑for‑purpose models and translate complex analysis into clear, actionable recommendations for senior stakeholders. You’ll work across a wide range of commercial areas and collaborate closely with colleagues in finance, marketing, commercial teams, and data science. The work is varied, high‑visibility, and central to shaping strategic decision‑making across the business.

Responsibilities

• Partner with the econometrics team to build, refine, and maintain a suite of econometric and MMM models for British Gas and Hive, translating model outputs into clear, actionable insights that drive commercial value.
• Analyse large and complex datasets to quantify the impact of marketing investment on key outcomes such as customer acquisition, retention, and engagement.
• Apply a range of data science techniques — including regression, machine learning, and time‑series modelling — to generate insights and support predictive and prescriptive analytics.
• Manage, clean, and integrate datasets from multiple internal and external sources, ensuring high standards of data quality and integrity.
• Communicate findings through concise, compelling presentations and documentation, crafting a clear narrative that aligns with the evidence.
• Work closely with stakeholders across the business to scale and enhance media mix models using advanced statistical and machine‑learning approaches.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in Big Data analysis, econometrics, statistics, and Marketing Mix Modelling within a professional environment.
• Strong understanding of media, marketing, pricing, and promotional levers, and how they influence commercial performance.
• Solid Python skills for data manipulation, modelling, and visualisation (e.g., pandas, NumPy, scikit‑learn).
• High proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to analytical rigour.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and prioritise effectively.
• Confident, professional communication skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels.
