Full job description
Evri Group is the UK’s premier parcel delivery business, uniting four distinct brands—Evri, Evri Premium, a network of DHL, UK Mail and Irish e-commerce specialist Coll-8—to deliver more than 1 billion parcels and letters annually across the UK and to over 200 global destinations. With 12,000 colleagues, 30,000 couriers and drivers, 8,000 vehicles, and a nationwide network of hubs, depots and fulfilment centres, we combine over 50 years of expertise with the scale and flexibility to support everyone from casual senders to SMEs and major retailers. Driven by our friendly, ambitious and diverse people, we are passionate about delivering exceptional service and offer exciting opportunities across the Evri Group.
Head of Data Science
Location: Hybrid (Remote with Weekly Travel to Leeds Head Office)
Salary: Highly Competitive Basic + Car + Benefits
Shape the future of Data Science at one of the UK's largest logistics networks
We're looking for an outstanding Head of Data Science to lead our next phase of growth.
This is a rare opportunity to join a business where data science is already delivering measurable commercial value and where senior leaders are actively investing in taking that capability further. You'll inherit a high-performing team, executive sponsorship, a significant portfolio of opportunities, and an advanced Databricks platform that is central to our data and AI strategy.
This isn't about proving the value of data science.
It's about scaling it.
Why join Evri?
At Evri, data science is embedded in how the business operates. Our models help shape:
Courier pay and incentives
Resource and workforce forecasting
Transport and network planning
Final-mile route optimisation
Parcel journey analysis and operational improvement initiatives
The current portfolio delivers £10m+ of annual business benefit, and we're creating the capability to deliver significantly more.
As Head of Data Science, you'll play a pivotal role in identifying where advanced analytics, machine learning and optimisation can create the greatest value across the organisation, whilst ensuring solutions move efficiently from concept into production.
The Opportunity
You'll lead a team of nine Data Science and Analytics professionals, developing capability, setting direction and creating an environment where great work turns into measurable business outcomes.
You'll partner with senior leaders across Operations, Commercial and Finance to:
Prioritise the highest-value opportunities
Deliver measurable commercial and operational benefits
Accelerate the adoption of machine learning and optimisation techniques to solve business problems
Improve production standards and MLOps maturity
Drive greater value from our enterprise data platform
Establish best practice for advanced analytics across the wider organisation
Beyond your direct team, you'll help shape standards and influence a broader analytics community across Evri.
A World-Class Platform to Build Upon
We've already invested heavily in our data foundations.
Our Data Science capability is built on a modern Databricks Lakehouse platform, enabling large-scale machine learning, optimisation and advanced analytics across the business. You'll work closely with Data Engineering to continue evolving the platform and ensuring it supports the next generation of data science, AI and decision intelligence solutions.
Databricks experience is essential.
We're looking for someone who has successfully delivered production-grade data science solutions within a Databricks environment and can combine deep technical credibility with strategic leadership capability.
What You'll Bring
You're a proven Data Science leader who knows how to translate technical capability into commercial value.
You'll bring:
Significant experience leading Data Science, Machine Learning, Operational Research or Statistics teams
Experience managing and developing teams of eight or more professionals
A track record of delivering production models that generated measurable business or customer outcomes
Strong expertise in Databricks, Python and SQL
Experience applying machine learning, forecasting or optimisation techniques to solve large-scale operational or commercial challenges
The ability to influence senior leaders and shape strategic decision-making
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to make complex technical concepts accessible and actionable
A passion for building capability, setting standards and developing high-performing teams
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role isn't measured by the number of models built.
It's measured by the value they create.
You'll be recognised for increasing the commercial impact of data science across the business, improving the speed and quality of delivery, raising technical standards and helping Evri turn advanced analytics into a genuine competitive advantage.
Why This Role Stands Out
Lead one of the most impactful Data Science functions in UK logistics
Shape the future of AI, machine learning and optimisation at enterprise scale
Own a portfolio already delivering £10m+ annual value
Influence executive decision-making across a complex national operation
Work with a Databricks platform and rich operational datasets
Develop and grow a talented team with strong foundations already in place
Join a business where Data Science is valued, funded and expected to drive real results
If you're excited by the challenge of combining leadership, commercial impact, Databricks-driven innovation and large-scale operational optimisation, we'd love to hear from you.
Evri Group for everyone
We’re committed to building a truly inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone can bring – and be – their whole authentic selves.
We’re also on a mission to be the UK’s most accessible delivery business. We’ve partnered with Scope, the leading disability equality charity, to improve deliveries for millions of customers and give extra support to our colleagues and couriers who need it.
Collaboration is key because we work better together. Bring passion, ambition and an open mind, and in return we’ll give you respect, flexibility and a place where you can thrive.
At Evri Group, everyone is welcome.
