They are seeking a Staff Data Scientist who will drive impactful data initiatives across various business functions and provide actionable recommendations based on rigorous analysis.
Responsibilities
- Proactively find where DS can create leverage across marketing, product, finance, and operations
- Lead ambiguous, high-stakes investigations end-to-end — launches, marketing, pricing, product, ops bottlenecks — to a clear recommendation
- Reason rigorously under uncertainty — comfortable with ranges and simulated outcomes, not just point estimates
- Dig into root cause yourself, across systems, without much hand-holding
- Own core data models and metric definitions, pairing with AI on the deep technical lifting rather than needing it handed off
- Push self-serve, AI-assisted analytics so fewer things require a dedicated data scientist
- Set the bar for rigor and judgment across the team
Skills
- Self-driven — finds the valuable problem before it's handed to you, doesn't stop at 'here's what the data shows'
- Comfortable with real ambiguity and messy system — digs until you understand what's happening
- Broad enough technically to navigate engineering/data infra and pair with AI on the hard parts, not just research
- Strong quantitative intuition, including reasoning under uncertainty
- Experience spanning multiple functions (marketing, product, finance, operations), not one narrow domain
- Sharp communicator — turns analysis into recommendations leadership can act on
- 6+ years industry DS/analytics experience at senior/staff-level scope
- Bonus: background in a simulation- or probability-heavy domain (quant trading, gaming, statistics/economics)
Benefits
