GENERAL FUNCTION:

The Senior Data Scientist will be an individual contributor with technical expertise in test design and measurement for customer outreach (marketing, servicing, and other). The Senior Data Scientist will be responsible for building out new technical capabilities that allow for designing, running, and measuring experiments at scale with the intention of reliably measuring causal effects. As an individual contributor, the Senior Data Scientist will be expected to lead technical projects from start to finish while partnering with stakeholders (product managers, finance partners, business leaders, engineers) to ensure technical solutions meet business requirements.

• Partner with engineering teams to provide requirements that ensure experiments are implemented as designed
• Review test results with stakeholders and inform strategic decisions made because of measured results
• Provide thought leadership to peers on statistical best practices pertaining to personalization and marketing analytics
• Translate technical findings to business impact, including an ability to articulate tradeoffs with candidate test designs (i.e., long-term learning benefit vs. short-term optimization)
• Partner with engineering to deploy experimentation technical products into existing production systems
• Ensure all technical processes are well documented and understood by both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Actively contribute to a test & learn roadmap for an always-on personalization engine with a focus on driving better customer outcomes
• Stay abreast of methods, tools, and best practices pertaining to applied statistics and causal inference
