- Partnering with Data Engineering to build scalable, self-serve experimentation tooling and reusable analytical frameworks
- Translating complex statistical findings into clear, compelling narratives for VP and C-suite audiences
- Mentoring and training junior and mid-level data scientists on experimental design and causal modeling
What We’re Looking For
This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Director of Product Data, acting as a strategic thought partner across Product, Engineering, Finance, Design, and Product Marketing.
