About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 10 years of experience in analytics, data science, or decision science, including at least 5 years in people management in a senior leadership role.
  • Deep expertise in inferential and causal analytics and the ability to lead machine learning practitioners.
  • Expert knowledge of engagement, retention, churn, and cohort metrics.
  • Experience forecasting a company-level metric and being accountable for it.
  • Proficiency in SQL and either Python or R.
  • Experience with Databricks, third-party experimentation tools such as Statsig, Tableau or similar business intelligence tools, and AI-native business intelligence tools such as Hex or AI/BI.
  • Hands-on experience using coding agents such as Claude Code or equivalent in analytical work.
  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent.
  • Curiosity about why people behave as they do, not only what they did.
  • Ability to decide what the team will not work on and defend those decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop the decision scientists and data scientists on the team, and set the quality bar for both disciplines.
  • Own the MAU driver model and forecast.
  • Own exploratory work that drives the strategy to grow MAU.
  • Establish how analysis is scoped, conducted, reviewed, and documented so its quality does not depend on who handles the request.
  • Partner with the Revenue counterpart and Data Engineering leadership to define common metrics, align on experimentation standards, and introduce unified operating practices across teams.
  • Build the operating model that brings the team into roadmap discussions early, with a view on what to build and what to test.
  • Use agents and automated analysis daily, and expect the same of the team.
  • Shape how the team works in an AI-native way, determining what is delegated to agents, automated, and kept for human judgment.
  • Move an analytics team from reactive work to an embedded model.
  • Coach and develop people, and grow analysts into leaders.
  • Ensure analysis begins with a hypothesis rather than a data request.
  • Build standards for the team and ensure people use them.

Desired Qualifications

  • Familiarity with experiment design to identify and control for network effects.
  • A master's degree or PhD with an emphasis in social science, psychology, or another behavioral science.
  • Experience leading a team that reports to you but is embedded with product and engineering teams.
  • Experience in a business-to-consumer subscription business.
