Forecasting sits at the heart of how PostNord runs - every volume we plan for, every route we optimize, every shift we staff starts with a forecast. We're now strengthening our Forecasting team and looking for a Senior Data Scientist to be a central pillar in building something stronger.
This is a senior individual-contributor role. The team already has a Tech Lead and a Product Owner, so you won't be carrying out the roadmap or line management. Instead, your seniority shows up in the quality of your models, the judgement behind your decisions, and your ability to lift the people around you.
Join us
The Technology Acceleration area within Group IT is responsible for establishing the future IT landscape - the foundation for PostNord's continued AI- and data-driven journey. In the Forecasting team you'll combine deep machine learning craft with real business understanding to deliver forecasts that operations actually trust and act on, across the logistics domain.
You won't just build models. You'll help decide where forecasting creates the most value, what's worth improving, and what's better rebuilt from scratch.
Job duties
Develop, improve, and maintain forecasting models for core logistics use cases - volumes, routes, staffing, and beyond.
Evaluate what we already run and make pragmatic calls: optimize, replace, or redesign from the ground up.
Get close to the operation - translate messy operational reality and business challenges into robust, scalable forecasting solutions.
Ensure that the forecast holds up in production: data quality, feature engineering, and reconciling planning horizons and cadences.
Collaborate with data engineers, domain teams, and the wider analytics community on our Databricks platform.
Raise the bar around you - share knowledge, mentor colleagues, and help establish forecasting and model-lifecycle best practices.
Communicate insight, trade-offs, and uncertainty clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Extensive experience as a Data Scientist with a strong focus on machine learning and forecasting, and a track record of models running in production.
Strong grounding in time-series modelling, statistical methods, and modern ML approaches.
Strong programming skills in Python and SQL.
Experience with modern data platforms - Databricks is highly relevant.
A genuine ability to connect technical solutions to business impact, and the maturity to work hands-on while helping shape technical direction alongside the Tech Lead and Product Owner.
Strong collaboration and communication skills.
Meritorious experience
Experience in logistics, supply chain, or other operational forecasting domains - though we equally value strong forecasting craft brought in from any data-heavy domain.
Probabilistic forecasting, hierarchical forecasting, or optimization.
MLOps practices and model lifecycle management.
Scaling models in cloud environments, preferably Azure.
Experimentation frameworks and model evaluation techniques.
Mentoring or informally leading other data scientists.
Comfort working in an engineering organization that leans heavily on AI tooling to move faster.
Language requirement
Fluent English in speech and writing. Proficiency in at least one Scandinavian language is meritorious.
Why this role matters
Better forecasts mean better decisions - fewer surprises in the network, smarter staffing, and capacity planned where it's needed. As a senior member of the team, you'll be a key reason our forecasting capability gets stronger, faster, and more trusted across the business.
Your profile
You're a senior, mature data scientist who pairs technical excellence with a strong business mindset. You're pragmatic - able to improve what exists and know when to start over. You're comfortable engaging directly with stakeholders, and you instinctively lift the people around you without needing a title to do it.
Most of all, you want to help build something stronger: a high-performing forecasting team that delivers real operational impact at scale.
We offer
A cutting-edge analytics environment built on Databricks and Azure
A central role in accelerating PostNord's AI- and data-driven journey
The freedom to shape how forecasting is done at scale in a leading logistics company

Forecasting only creates value when the business trusts it and acts on it - and that trust is built out in the operation, in conversations with the people planning volumes, routes, and staffing every day. We're strengthening our Forecasting team and looking for a Product Owner to own that bridge between the team and the business, and to help a talented group of specialists turn deep technical work into real operational impact. You'll own the what and the why - vision, roadmap, priorities, and value - working alongside a Tech Lead who owns the how. And as much as you'll shape the backlog, you'll shape the team: you're a natural coach who creates focus, clears the path, and helps skilled people grow their product and stakeholder instincts so they can do their best work. Join us The Technology Acceleration area within Group IT is responsible for establishing the future IT landscape - the foundation for PostNord's continued AI- and data-driven journey. In the Forecasting team you'll be the connective tissue between deep machine learning capability and the operational decisions it exists to support, across logistics domains such as volumes, routing, and staffing. Job duties Own and communicate a clear product vision and roadmap for forecasting - grounded in business value. Spend real time out in the operation: build relationships across logistics business units, understand how planning decisions are actually made, and bring that context back to the team. Be the trusted face of the team to the business - manage expectations, communicate progress and trade-offs honestly, and build demand and adoption for what forecasting can do. Translate operational challenges into a prioritised, well-shaped backlog the team can act on with confidence. Coach and support the team - create focus, remove obstacles, shield them from noise, and help colleagues develop their product thinking and stakeholder skills. Define what "good" looks like: connect forecasting work to decision quality, trust, and measurable business outcomes. Partner closely with the Tech Lead and Senior Data Scientists to balance ambition with what's realistically deliverable. Solid experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager, ideally for data, analytics, or other decision-support products. A proven coach and team builder - you lead through influence and clarity, and you bring the best out of skilled people without relying on authority. Strong stakeholder and relationship skills, and the energy and confidence to spend much of your time out in the business rather than behind a desk. The ability to translate fluently between business needs and technical reality, in both directions. Comfort with how data science and forecasting actually work - you don't need to build models, but you understand uncertainty, iteration, and why these products behave differently from standard software. Strong prioritisation and communication skills. Meritorious experience Background in logistics, supply chain, or operational planning. Experience owning analytics, ML, or forecasting products. Familiarity with Databricks and Azure environments. A track record of growing the product and delivery maturity of a technical team. Agile or lean delivery experience. Language requirement Fluent English in speech and writing. Because so much of this role is spent face to face with the Nordic business, proficiency in at least one Scandinavian language is strongly meritorious. Why this role matters Forecasting sits at the core of how PostNord plans and runs its network. The difference between a model and a measurable impact is adoption - and adoption is your job. You'll be the reason the business understands, trusts, and acts on what the team builds, and the reason a strong team keeps getting stronger. Your profile You're an experienced product person who leads through people. You get your energy from being out in the business, listening hard, and turning what you hear into clear direction. You're a coach at heart - you create focus and momentum, and you help others grow rather than doing everything yourself. You hold a firm line on priorities while keeping the team motivated and protected from distraction. You're pragmatic, trusted, and equally at home in an operational planning meeting and a technical refinement session. Most of all, you want to help build something stronger: a high-performing forecasting team whose work the whole organisation relies on.
