  • High-Maturity Data Culture: If you care about data quality and maturity, this team champions it at scale. You will have the resources and organizational buy-in to improve tracking, build scalable ETL pipelines, and establish data integrity across the entire company.
What You’ll Do:
  • Facilitate both short- and long-term strategic goals across core product initiatives.
  • Lead exploratory analyses to identify and size product development opportunities, balancing trade-offs between feature growth and optimization.
  • Drives the creation of learning agendas, design multivariate tests, and translate complex analytical findings into actionable recommendations that shape critical business decisions and influence the product roadmap.
  • Define success metrics for strategic initiatives, while delivering high-quality, data-driven analyses that surface impactful insights—particularly around consumer behavior, segmentation, and quality acquisition.
  • Champion the development of self-service AI-enabled reporting tools, empowering cross-functional teams to independently explore, measure, and monitor performance.
  • Drive continuous improvements in tracking and data quality, lead deep-dive analyses to understand product performance, and address key strategic questions.
  • Provide a unique opportunity to influence product direction by uncovering foundational insights into consumer preferences, behaviors, and intent through descriptive, statistical, and predictive analytics.
What You’ll Bring:
  • Expertise in Data Science & Search –MS/BS in computer science, statistics, mathematics, operations research or related fields, and 5 years of relevant experience in data science, machine learning or applied statistics, with a strong background in product analytics or experimentation.
  • Extensive Technical Skills – Proficiency in SQL, Python, Tableau, and Amplitude (or similar analytics tools).
  • Experience with AI enabled tools (streamlit, Claude/MCP, n8n, windsurf) is a must.
  • Ability to create ETL pipelines using dbt + Airflow.
