About the role

Zenjob is an AI-powered flexible staffing platform that has efficiently connected companies and temporary workers since 2015. Companies use our platform to book ready-to-work staff in real time, while students use our app to find part-time jobs that conveniently fit around their studies. Over 40,000 students and 1,000 partner companies from logistics, retail, and hospitality in all major German cities share our belief that good work is not a coincidence. It is the result of innovative technology and genuine commitment. Good work starts here. Data is at the core of Zenjob's marketplace, and we're looking for a collaborative, forward-thinking Head of Analytics & Data Science to guide our next chapter. In this role, you will lead and mature our data and analytics function, helping the team unlock actionable insights and scale their impact across the company. You will help us integrate Artificial Intelligence further into our everyday work-both in how we optimize our platform and how we improve our internal workflows. If you are a pragmatic leader who loves mentoring developing talent, solving marketplace puzzles, and exploring practical AI applications, we'd love to meet you.

Responsibilities

  • Nurture and Grow the Team: Coach and develop our team of Data Scientists and Analysts. You will foster a healthy, collaborative culture rooted in continuous learning, best practices, and practical business impact.
  • Integrate AI into Everyday Work: Guide the team in adopting modern AI tools and methodologies to improve our daily workflows, while helping identify smart opportunities to leverage AI.

  • Collaborate Across Teams: Partner closely with Data, Engineering and Business stakeholders to ensure we are building a collaborative, reliable, and accessible data ecosystem.
  • Focus on What Matters: Help the team prioritize high-impact initiatives, ensuring we are solving mission-critical business problems rather than getting lost in the noise.
  • What you bring
  • Team Leadership Experience: A proven track record of managing and developing data professionals (analysts and/or data scientists) in a fast-paced environment.
  • An Open Mind Toward AI: Curiosity and practical experience with modern AI tools, with a clear view of how to use them to automate workflows and enhance analytical capabilities.
  • Marketplace Intuition: Prior experience or a deep understanding of two-sided marketplace dynamics (supply, demand, and matching optimization) is highly valued.
  • Strong Business Translation: The ability to bridge the gap between technical data work and business reality, turning complex analysis into simple, actionable insights for stakeholders.
  • Solid Technical Foundations: A strong background in data modeling, analytical methodologies, and experimentation, combined with a highly pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
  • Great Communication Skills: An empathetic communication style that allows you to influence stakeholders, build trust, and bring people along on the data journey.
