Data Science

Reimagine how we shop

Big Data doesn’t get much bigger. 18million customers a week set foot in our stores. We take 15million orders online every year. From customer apps to machine learning robots, Asda is every inch a tech business and our data science grads work across Technology, ECommerce, Property, Customer Insight and Strategy.

When, where, how, who, what next, what can be integrated, what can be smarter? These are the big questions we seek to answer every day.

For the inventive, the persistent, the forward facing and the highly analytical, the potential to make an impact in Data Science is limitless.

As one of our Data Science graduates, you’ll work collaboratively with cross-functional teams on challenging projects. Interrogating data and supporting decision making to maximise our business performance, your primary mission will be to help us better understand our customers.

Strong research skills, critical thinking, and an ability to communicate complex information to a wide range of people is key. It’s not essential, but it would be desirable to have experience of using R and Python, as well as having an interest in future technologies.
