The Story A global technology company, founded in 1999 as an online marketplace, parent company Rakuten is an industry giant that has expanded offerings to include e-commerce, fin-tech, digital content and communications to 1.9 billion members globally and with presence in over 30 countries!

Then there's their Rakuten's Rewards' cash-back product.

To date, their 17 million members in the U.S. alone have earned over $3.7 billion in cash-back at their favorite stores. How cool is that? It's a fascinatingly complex system, with millions of users - and that is at the very heart of their business.

Your insights will drive improvements in Rakuten Rewards' attribution models and optimise the overall member experience.

What you Bring to the Role We're looking for someone with a blend of technical expertise and business acumen that thrives using their Data Science and Machine Learning expertise for real-world business impact. You enjoy presenting data driven performance trends and insights to key stakeholders, and collaborating closely with global business leaders and product managers to define strategies, design experiments and translate insights into actions.
