Job Description

About The Role:

You will be a key business partner to the go-to-market leadership team across Sales, Customer Success, Marketing and Revenue Operations. Your work will be instrumental in setting what our data strategy looks like as we design and implement a best-in-class Go-to-Market motion. There will be significant variation from one day to the next, but whether you're exploring what a successful Notion account looks like, building out a core user engagement data set, or creating a model to identify high potential accounts, you'll absolutely be having impact on the direction of the business.

What You'll Achieve:

• You'll partner with Revenue Operations, Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing leads, driving forward all data science and analytics work in their functional areas
• Synthesize insights into crisp narratives and present to senior leadership, and drive and verify change in our business processes. (Insights are useful. Impact is even better!)
• You'll build and maintain KPI dashboards that teams rely on for making key decisions, and self-service tools and reports to enable business partners
• You'll build models that are core to the operation of the business, such as revenue forecasting or identifying high-value accounts for more hands-on support
• Partner closely with our Data Engineering and Business Systems teams to build high fidelity, canonical customer data pipelines

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• You've spent meaningful time as a data scientist partnering with Revenue Operations, Sales, Customer Success, Business Operations, and / or Finance related functions
• You are a SQL expert. You have no problem regularly leveraging window functions, UDFs, self-joins, and other complex SQL functions to accomplish your data analysis goals
• You have expertise in at least one scripting language (ideally Python or R)
• You have experience building predictive models, and you know how to evaluate their effectiveness
• You're comfortable transforming raw data to build your own data sets if the measure you need doesn't exist yet
• Creative and analytical thinker who can facilitate resolution to key design decisions in complex, cross-functional projects
• You have a bias for using the right tools to get a job done with maximum efficiency. You have experience making tradeoffs between speed and accuracy
• Strong communication and collaboration while working in cross-functional environments

Nice to Haves:

• Worked at a fast-growing start-up, a SaaS company or are eager to contribute in such an environment (being a current Notion user would also be great!)
• Experience working with Sales, Customer Success, Revenue Operations, and/or Finance
