Data Scientist, Growth

About the role

We're seeking a Data Scientist to join our Data & Analytics team within the Growth organization. This isn't a typical analyst role - you'll be the lead growth data scientist at Eight Sleep, owning complex forecasting challenges that directly impact our supply chain, marketing spend, and business growth.

Responsibilities

• Build advanced demand forecasting models to solve our biggest operational challenge: eliminating stock-outs during peak periods (Black Friday, holidays) while avoiding overcommitting capital on inventory
• Design and implement marketing spend optimization algorithms that go beyond our current Prophet model, incorporating seasonality, macro trends, and cross-channel effects to improve our CAC targeting
• Create experimentation frameworks for incrementality testing across our marketing channels (Meta, Google, YouTube) with proper statistical rigor
• Develop marketing attribution models that handle our complex customer journey and multi-touch attribution challenges

Requirements

• 5+ years of data science experience with demonstrable impact on business-critical forecasting and optimization problems
• Deep experience with time series forecasting, experimentation design, and translating ambiguous business problems into data-driven solutions
• Advanced Python/R skills plus expert SQL - you'll be building production pipelines and complex models, not just ad-hoc analysis
• High ownership mentality - comfortable with ambiguous problems and 60+ hour weeks during critical periods
• Business acumen - you can translate between technical solutions and business stakeholders (Growth, Finance, Operations teams)
• Strong written and verbal communication - you can translate complex findings into actionable insights. Your written and verbal communication skills are excellent
• A high sense of agency - you are an independent self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is comfortable owning a high level of responsibility

Qualifications

• Forecasting expertise - you've built production models that handle seasonality, growth trends, and external factors. Bonus points if you've worked with Prophet and know its limitations
• Strong experimentation background - you can design proper A/B tests, understand incrementality measurement, and have experience with marketing mix modeling

Skills

• Advanced Python/R skills
• Expert SQL
• Statistical rigor in experimentation design
• Seasonality and macro trend handling
• Multi-channel marketing effects integration
• Customer journey and multi-touch attribution challenges

Benefits

• Immediate responsibility and accelerated career growth
• Collaboration with exceptional talent
• Equitable compensation and continuous equity investment
• Your own Pod
• Health, vision, and dental insurance
• Supplemental life insurance
• Flexible PTO
• Commuter benefits
• Paid parental leave

Pay

Pay grows rapidly as you accumulate experience with Eight Sleep and translate it into concrete impact. Your own Pod - and other great benefits are included.
