Principal Analytics Strategist (m/f/d)

AutoScout24 is looking for a seasoned and versatile analytics expert to join our growing data organization as a Principal Analytics Strategist. In this high-impact individual contributor role, you’ll work closely with our C-suite, General Managers, and Data Leaders to shape some of the most important strategic decisions across our European and North American marketplaces. 
 
Whether it's diving into marketplace dynamics in Italy, uncovering insights on supply-demand dynamics in Canada, or evaluating the impact of marketing and FinTech initiatives – you will be at the forefront of transforming data into action. If you thrive on solving complex problems, love working autonomously, and enjoy collaborating across borders and business units, we’d love to meet you. 

What You'll Do:

• Partner directly with senior executives to tackle high-priority analytical challenges across multiple domains.
• Lead deep-dive investigations and special task forces, structuring complex problems into data-driven insights and clear recommendations.
• Translate broad questions into structured analyses – from marketing ROI and pricing impact to product funnel optimization.
• Build trusted, strategic relationships across the organization and become a go-to advisor for analytical clarity.
• Develop models, dashboards, and narrative-rich presentations that shape executive decision-making.
• Help set the bar for analytics excellence: co-define best practices, influence tooling strategy, and contribute to our insight-driven culture.
• Utilize a broad toolkit: SQL, Python, Excel, QuickSight, and GenAI technologies to accelerate insight generation. 

What Success Looks Like: 

• Work directly influences board-level conversations, strategic priorities, and operational roadmaps.
• You’re recognized as a critical thinking partner by senior leaders across both AutoScout24 and Trader Corp.
• Drive progress with speed and clarity – often leading cross-functional analytics “SWAT” efforts from idea to insight.
• Play a key role in AutoScout24’s OneData transformation and help cultivate a best-in-class analytics community. 

Your Background:

• 10+ years of experience in analytics, hands-on consulting, start ups, or private equity.
• Strong business intuition – you think like a GM and act like an owner.
• Advanced SQL and Python skills; comfortable building your own datasets and models.
• Proficiency in Excel for fast prototyping and working across legacy systems.
• Experience applying GenAI tools to enhance speed, clarity, and storytelling is a strong plus.
• Proven ability to work independently, thrive in ambiguity, and communicate with senior executives.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to build momentum without formal authority. 

How we empower you to turn ideas into reality and have fun doing it:  

• Targeted trainings, workshops, coaching, and support services that help you grow at AutoScout24 – and in life
• Cutting-edge laptops (Apple or Windows) and other personal tech equipment that you can also use privately; our super-friendly Employee Tech team will ensure that your tech needs are always taken care of
• JobRad and Urban Sports Club
• Regular virtual and in-person team and company events to have fun, share, and celebrate successes (including hackathons, Christmas parties, and the Oktoberfest)
• 30 vacation days a year, flexible working hours, and hybrid work
• A dog-friendly office; we love our four-legged friends, so feel free to bring yours with you 

If this appeals to you but you are in doubt about how exactly your skills match our requirements - we value personality, ambition and an open mind. Don’t hesitate to get in touch and present your personal strengths to us. We look forward to hearing from you!
