What will you do at Ankorstore?

We want you to tell us!

Based on what we know today, we think you should own the data science and analysis disciplines, which means you will be responsible for our data strategy and implementation: How should we structure our data? Where should we get it from? How do we display it? How do we make it accessible? What are the right KPI definitions? Who is in charge of what? How do we make sure every data customer in the company is happy?

All data scientists and analysts report to you, although they will be embedded in their respective business teams, which will be their primary team.

You will be ultimately in charge of hiring them, training them, coaching them, coordinating them, and creating a culture of data science and analytics excellence across the company. You will collaborate with business leaders across the organization to make it happen.
