You Will

• Apply descriptive and predictive analytics to help drive insights and business decisions
• Communicate analyses and decisions to high-level stakeholders and executives in verbal, visual, and written formats
• Apply a diverse set of tactics such as causal inference, quantitative reasoning, and machine learning to research and produce insights
• Mentor and coach other data scientists and analysts on the team by providing technical guidance

You Have

• 8+ years of experience in quantitative analytics, data science, or analytical consulting, or 6+ years of experience with an M.S in a quantitative field (computer science, statistics, economics, or similar STEM field)
• Familiarity with the domains of marketing attribution, lifetime value modeling, and ROI measurements
• Expertise in statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, and experimental design
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to build relationships and influence across the organization
• Proven ability to facilitate cross-functional projects that depend on the contributions of others in a variety of disciplines
• Fluency with data warehouse design practices, analytics, and visualization technologies (we use SQL, Looker, and Python)
• Expertise with concepts beyond querying (schema and ETL design, and query optimization)

Nice to have

• Experience applying both statistical and machine-learning techniques to solve practical product problems such as forecasting revenue, predicting churn, estimating LTV, and improving connect rate
• Experience working with revenue-generating teams such as Sales, Account Management, or Marketing
