About the Role

We’re hiring a senior data scientist to partner with our rapidly growing Marketing team.

  • Develop and socialize dashboards, reports, and other ways of enabling the team and company to answer product data questions in a self-serve way

  • Partner with other data scientists across the company to share knowledge and continually synthesizing learnings across the organization

You might thrive in this role if you have:

  • At least 10+ years of experience in Data Science roles within dynamic, outcome-driven organizations.

  • Expertise in statistics and causal inference, applied in both experimentation and observational causal inference studies.

  • Proficiency in quantitative programming languages, such as Python and R.

  • Expertise in SQL, with extensive experience extracting large datasets and designing ETL workflows.

  • Experience using business intelligence tools, such as Mode, Tableau, and Looker.

  • Strategic and impact-driven mindset, capable of translating complex business problems into actionable frameworks.

  • Ability to build relationships with diverse stakeholders and cultivate strong partnerships.

  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders and collaborate across various functions to ensure business impact.

  • Ability to craft clear data stories using decks, memos, and dashboards to drive decision-making at every level.

  • Best-in-class attention to detail and unwavering commitment to accuracy.

  • Proven track record in solving problems within Finance, Marketing, Partnerships, Sales, Support, or other GTM areas.
