Senior Data Scientist - Marketing Innovation (Remote)

$293K–$325K/year

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Data Scientist - Marketing Innovation to support our Marketing Innovation pod, a cross-functional team building the internal tools and agentic systems that fundamentally change how we do marketing and serve customers. This Data Scientist remote role will allow you to build product-like systems that deliver high-touch, consultative experiences to millions of SMB customers through agentic lifecycle and sales experiences.

What You’ll Do

  • Define success metrics for agentic marketing systems (e.g., incremental pipeline generated, conversion lift, rep hours saved), including leading indicators that enable weekly iteration.
  • Design measurement and experimentation frameworks for always-on systems across lifecycle automation, creative generation, targeting, and routing — using holdouts, staged rollouts, and quasi-experimental methods when needed.
  • Partner with PMs and engineers to instrument, evaluate, and monitor launches so every meaningful release has observability and a credible read on incremental value.
  • Translate behavioral and model-driven signals into decisions: what to scale, where to intervene, and how to allocate human and compute attention across segments.
  • Build repeatable decision loops (pre-launch criteria → post-launch read → next action) that convert analysis into shipped changes.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in a quantitative role (e.g., Data Science, Decision Science), ideally at a product-led company supporting B2B growth, with exposure to SMB or scaled self-serve motions.
  • Deep grounding in experimentation, causal inference, and applied statistics, with experience designing and interpreting tests in real-world, always-on environments.
  • Strong technical fluency in SQL and Python, including working directly with messy, incomplete behavioral data to quantify impact.
  • Proven track record of translating results into shipped decisions (product, lifecycle, targeting, routing).
  • Strong business judgment and a bias toward action: able to scope ambiguous problems, define success, and move quickly from insight to strategy.
  • Excellent communicator and partner to PMs/Engineers; comfortable influencing stakeholders and presenting recommendations to senior leadership.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with large language models and AI-assisted operations platforms.
  • Experience working on operational automation and decision systems (routing, prioritization, optimization).
  • Experience operating in early-stage or rapidly evolving environments, including building measurement and experimentation frameworks from scratch.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary ranging from $293,000 to $325,000 per year.
  • Flexible remote work options to fit your lifestyle.
  • Opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI technologies.
  • Collaborative and innovative team environment.
  • Comprehensive health benefits and wellness programs.
  • Professional development opportunities and a commitment to your growth.
