We are seeking a versatile and highly skilled Data Scientist to join our dynamic team. This role is pivotal in driving data-driven decision-making across our B2C and Adtech initiatives, with occasional contributions to our B2B sector. You will be responsible for developing sophisticated models, conducting deep-dive analyses, and extracting actionable insights from complex datasets to optimize user experience and advertising performance.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of consumer technology and advertising, influencing the direction of our data products under the mentorship of the Director of Data Science. We offer a collaborative environment where innovation is encouraged and data is at the heart of everything we do.
The successful candidate will report directly to the Director, Data Science & Machine Learning, working closely with leadership to align data strategies with business objectives.
Please note this is a contract role until March 2027 and we are only considering candidates who are eligible to work in Canada and can work in a Hybrid model at our Oakville, ON, Canada location.
WHAT'S THE DAY TO DAY LIKE?
B2C & Adtech Optimization: Design and implement machine learning models to improve customer acquisition, retention, and lifetime value. Optimize ad delivery algorithms and attribution modeling to maximize ROI in the Adtech space.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Product, Marketing, and Engineering teams to define key performance indicators (KPIs) and deliver data products that solve real-world business problems.
Advanced Analytics: Conduct end-to-end analysis, including data collection, cleaning, exploratory data analysis, and visualization. Translate technical findings into compelling narratives for non-technical stakeholders.
B2B Support: Provide analytical support for B2B initiatives, focusing on lead scoring, churn prediction, and market segmentation as needed.
Strategic Reporting: Maintain a close reporting line with the Director to ensure technical roadmaps are executed efficiently and insights are integrated into the broader FY26 data strategy.
