About the team & role

Shipping Analytics team drives eBay’s key shipping initiatives through data-driven insights and advanced analytics. We are a global, fast-paced team passionate about making shipping at eBay more reliable, accurate, affordable and seamless through the use of AI, innovation, and experimentation.

We’re looking for a highly skilled and self-driven individual contributor with a strong track record of analytical excellence, technical depth, and business impact. You’ll apply advanced analytics, AI, and data science techniques to build scalable data products, uncover insights, and influence strategic decisions across eBay’s shipping ecosystem.

In this role, you’ll harness data, experimentation, and AI to launch managed shipping solutions, optimize carrier routing, improve delivery performance, and increase seller adoption of eBay labels. You’ll translate complex logistics data into actionable strategies that enhance reliability, reduce cost, and grow label profitability - working closely with Product, Business, Finance, and Engineering teams to make shipping smarter, faster, and more efficient globally.

What You Will Accomplish

Solve complex, real-world business problems using AI and advanced analytics to optimize eBay’s domestic and cross-border shipping experience.

Drive analytics to expand and scale eBay’s managed shipping and label platform globally, defining success metrics and measuring business impact.

Build predictive models and carrier rate simulations to optimize cost, speed, reliability, and sustainability across global carrier networks.

Analyze customer pain points to identify friction and propose data-informed product and business solutions that drive label adoption.

Design and evaluate A/B experiments to guide smart decisions on product features, pricing, and policy.

Develop AI-powered systems for real-time anomaly detection and operational performance monitoring.

Build data pipelines and dashboards to democratize insights and accelerate decision-making across teams.

Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Finance partners to translate analytical findings into measurable business outcomes.

What You Will Bring

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field (Master’s degree or MBA preferred).

8+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or a related quantitative role.

Proven track record as a strong individual contributor, independently owning high-impact analytical initiatives end-to-end.

Expertise in SQL, Excel, and data visualization tools; proficiency in Python or R preferred.

Hands-on experience in product analytics, experimentation (A/B testing), and causal inference.

Demonstrated ability to apply data science and AI techniques to drive measurable business impact and solve optimization problems.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex analytical insights into clear, actionable recommendations for diverse stakeholders.

Working knowledge of modern AI tools such as Gemini, GPT, and large language models (LLMs) for data-driven automation and insights.

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional, and collaborative environment.

Nice to have: Prior experience with global logistics, shipping operations, or carrier network performance data.

Some Interesting Questions We’re Trying to Answer

How can we model friction across the seller label purchase funnel to identify behavioral and product-level barriers to adoption?

How can large language models and AI-driven simulations recommend carriers that balance cost, reliability, and SLA compliance?

Which seller cohorts show the highest incremental response to targeted interventions, and how can predictive systems personalize label adoption at scale?

How do category, item value, and delivery speed influence buyer sensitivity to shipping costs across global markets?

How can AI improve the accuracy of package weight and dimension predictions, and what is the downstream impact on cost estimation and carrier selection?

What early signals can AI-based anomaly detection uncover in carrier network performance, and how can they be used to mitigate operational risks proactively?

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
