At World of Books, we’re on a mission to become the Planet’s Bookstore. Founded in 2002, our purpose is simple but powerful: encourage recycling, minimise waste, and give books a second life. Today, we’re the world’s largest seller of used books, serving millions of customers across 190+ countries and proudly operating as a certified B-Corp. With offices in the UK, US and Hungary, and a team of 1,000+ people, we’re driven by technology, data and a shared commitment to doing good for the planet and society.
About the Role We’re looking for a Pricing Analyst to play a key role in shaping and enabling our pricing strategy across buying and selling. This is a hands‑on, individual contributor role at the heart of our analytics capability, supporting the next stage of World of Books’ growth. You’ll initially work with our current pricing systems, trialing and analysing pricing decisions, before evolving into a key contributor to our new pricing platform, with a strong focus on simulations and their impact on commercial performance. You’ll also be a core member of our cross‑company Pricing Squad, partnering with Commercial, Operations, Product, Tech and Analytics to drive data‑led pricing decisions.

Build, own and maintain reporting and metrics that stakeholders genuinely use
Analyse complex datasets to inform strategic decisions and size opportunities
Test and challenge assumptions and hypotheses
Understand performance drivers and pricing simulations
Design, execute and evaluate trials, including EDA, ASIN selection, readouts and documentation
Apply robust statistical and analytical methods across all work
Communicate insights clearly, translating complex analysis into commercial impact
Collaborate closely with Product, Tech and senior stakeholders across the business
Automate recurring analysis to free up time for high‑value problem solving
Contribute to wider analytics and data science initiatives and continuously raise the bar for quality and rigour
Qualifications
A degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science or a related field
5+ years’ experience in analytics, ideally within eCommerce or marketplace environments
Required Skills
Strong SQL skills (Google Cloud environment), with confidence querying raw data and debugging code
Experience working with large datasets
BI and visualisation experience (Tableau, Power BI or Looker) with a focus on stakeholder‑friendly dashboards
Some experience with Python or R (nice to have: Vertex AI)
Proven analytics experience, including:
Root cause and deep‑dive analysis
Funnel and drop‑off analysis
Strong communication skills and the ability to influence both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
Comfort working with ambiguity in a fast‑evolving environment
Preferred Skills
Customer segmentation, LTV forecasting, cohort and survival analysis
Predictive analytics (regression, classification, time series)
If you’re passionate about data, pricing, and using analytics to make a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.
Equal Opportunity Statement World of Books is committed to diversity and inclusivity.
