Do you have a passion for translating data into insights? Do you enjoy looking for opportunities and possibilities in a considerable amount of data? And do you like to create understandable stories from the behavior of online visitors and present these? Then come work at Online Dialogue as a data scientist!

As a data scientist you will work closely with the (technical) analysts at Online Dialogue and be part of multidisciplinary teams including psychologists, strategists and UX designers. You are an important value in preparing and analyzing conversion optimization projects.

Statistics has no secrets for you. You enjoy going to work processing raw data into usable data. You can analyze all kinds of user data (feedback, analytics, experiments) and select the best statistical methodology (e.g. regression, cluster analysis, decision trees) to solve business questions. You present these insights in a clear story to the customer with the main goal of turning insights into actions.

You have a penchant for getting to the bottom line, for solving the puzzle - for you, it's a challenge to extract insights from large data sets and deduce which segments behave differently or perform better.

• At least 2-3 years of relevant work experience in the online field.
• A natural curiosity for new tools and techniques
• Ambition to become the best in your field and the drive to want to transfer this to your close colleagues and outside the organization.

• Worked with large databases and/or data models.
• Experience in creating and working with simulations, scenario analysis and algorithms (models).

We offer...

• a pension plan.
• customized development program.
• Company laptop and a phone allowance.

We are...

The leading agency in the field of online optimization. As a recognized thought leader in this niche, our colleagues are regularly asked as keynote speakers on (inter)national stages. Of course we are very proud of that, but we work especially hard to constantly be ahead of the market, to take the market further and to let companies and organizations exceed their goals.

We work for clients such as; VodafoneZiggo, Marktplaats, Van der Valk, ANWB, Nederlandse Loterij, BeterBed, Efteling and NS International.

The team

You will work from the center of Utrecht together with 23 enthusiastic and sociable professionals. Our approach is unique: we work in multidisciplinary teams with web analysts, psychologists, UX/UI designers, copywriters and developers. We combine data, research and psychology to improve online conversion and experience.

A Day at Online Dialogue

Your day starts with a monthly update session at a large Dutch telecom provider. Together with the lead of your team, you present the results of the last two A/B tests. Both tests are a winner (positively significant), so to celebrate you brought cake. This is followed by a stand-up with the Online Dialogue team for the same client. Armed with a good and well-deserved cup of coffee, we briefly catch up with each other, check the dashboard to see how all the analyses and experiments are running, and we set up actions. Then everyone gets to work. As an analyst, you start with a larger analysis, can we predict behavior online using historical data? And how can we use these insights in the optimization program?

In the afternoon, as usual, you lunch with your colleagues outside for a catered lunch at Meeting Plaza. Back at the office, you get to work preparing for the data day of the in-house training that will start the following week. Then you receive an email from your fellow psychologist with some questions in preparation for the next experiment for the Telco and dive into the data to search for the answers. In between, you play a game of table tennis. At the end of the afternoon, you prepare slides for our internal knowledge session the following afternoon. You want to talk about ‘power’ and statistics. You want to propose a new calculation and test how people feel about it. The day ends together with the other analysts. During the meeting, you go over resource planning, discuss all deadlines and evaluate ongoing projects.
