# Manager Data Scientist – AI – Talabat

This Manager Data Scientist role at Talabat in Dubai is focused on AI, likely leading data science work that powers recommendation systems, demand forecasting, logistics optimisation, or similar machine-learning-driven features across Talabat’s food delivery and q-commerce platform. As a manager-level data science role, it combines hands-on technical leadership with people or project management responsibility.

Day to day, expect leading data science projects from problem framing through model development to production deployment, working closely with engineering and product teams to turn models into real features, mentoring other data scientists, and translating technical work into business impact that leadership can understand and act on. Talabat operates at genuine scale across multiple markets, so models here deal with meaningful volumes of real-world data.

It suits an experienced data scientist or machine learning practitioner with some team or project leadership experience, who is comfortable both doing technical work and guiding others, and who can communicate model impact clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

Being part of the Delivery Hero Group gives this role access to data science practices and resources at a global group level, while still being grounded in Talabat’s specific regional market dynamics.

## Requirements

- Strong experience in data science or machine learning, with some project or team leadership experience

- Hands-on skills in building, validating and deploying machine learning models

- Experience with large-scale, real-world data, ideally within e-commerce, delivery or a similarly operational business

- Strong programming skills (e.g. Python, SQL) and familiarity with ML frameworks

- Ability to translate technical findings into clear business recommendations for non-technical stakeholders

- Experience mentoring or guiding other data scientists or analysts

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in data science, computer science, statistics or a related quantitative field
