Kicks has recently completed a major digital transformation, which has made huge volumes and high-quality data readily available (millions of transactions every day). We are now further expanding our Machine Learning objectives, and are working on a broad number of use cases, ranging from customer analytics, CRM, and online, to category/assortment and logistics optimization to further expand our position in the market. As we are now significantly stepping up our ambitions on analytics we are recruiting more data scientists, data engineers and data translators.

You will develop an understanding of business obstacles, create solutions based on advanced analytics and draw implications and hypothesis for model development. You will get the opportunity to combine, explore and draw insights from large and complex data assets from different parts of the business. You will also have the opportunity to work with the latest data science tools and technologies, building explorative, predictive- and prescriptive models, utilizing a broad range of machine learning techniques.
