About the role
The Senior Data Scientist for Customer Data & Marketing will be a foundational hire on the Data Science team, sitting in the central org and working across LOBs to turn customer data into decisions, experiments, and compounding business impact. This is a hands-on, cross-functional role where you will run experiments, build measurement frameworks, and partner with marketing, product, and LOB leaders.
Responsibilities
- Own the experimentation program end-to-end across LOBs — design, power, analyze, and call experiments in CRM, loyalty, and marketing, and make sure the organization actually acts on the results.
- Build the measurement foundation for centralized marketing: lifecycle metrics, campaign performance, loyalty program health, and the dashboards the business will run on.
- Partner directly with marketing, product, and LOB leaders — membership, Feastables, and beyond — to translate business questions into crisp, quantitative answers.
- Develop segmentation, targeting, and propensity models that drive real campaigns, not just slide decks.
- Partner with Data & Identity engineering to shape the customer data model — so the data you need for experimentation and marketing is actually there, and clean.
- Set the analytical bar for the org: how we measure, how we experiment, and how we decide. Use AI-native tooling and coding agents to move faster than a traditional DS function.
Requirements
- Experimentation-Obsessed: You've run rigorous experimentation programs inside consumer products at scale. You know when to run a test, when to trust a quasi-experiment, and when to stop arguing and ship.
- Marketing & CRM Fluent: You've worked shoulder-to-shoulder with marketing, lifecycle, and loyalty teams — and you know how to translate fuzzy business goals into concrete metrics, tests, and models.
- Cross-Functional Operator: You're comfortable operating centrally and serving multiple LOBs. You can context-switch, prioritize ruthlessly, and build trust with stakeholders who don't all want the same thing.
- AI-Native: You aren't just curious about AI; you are burning through tokens, using coding agents daily, and integrating modern AI tooling deeply into your analytical workflow.
- Scrappy & Scaled: You have the startup experience to build from zero with a nimble team, plus the big-tech exposure to know what good looks like at consumer scale.
- Action-Oriented: You thrive in ambiguity and prefer shipping analyses that change decisions over producing beautiful but inert reports.
Qualifications
- PhD or MS in Statistics, Computer Science, Data Science, or related field.
