Role Overview:

We are seekinga Data Scientist who can turn statistical ideas into models that loyalty clients rely on every day. You will build predictive and causal models on member-level data from programs with millions of members, run them reliably in production, and explain their impact to client stakeholders.

The role is roughly 70% technical (modeling, statistics, engineering of ML systems) and 30% business (framing problems, working with clients, translating results into decisions). You will work closelywith Product, Data Engineering, Engineering and Customer Success.

What you will OWN:

• Predictive & Statistical Modeling (technical) Design, train andvalidate models for churn, propensity, next-best-offer, lifetime value, tier migration andanomaly orfraud detection. Choose methods onevidence: regression and GLMs, survival analysis, gradient boosting, probabilistic and Bayesian models, time-series forecasting, anddeep learning where it earns its complexity.
• Experimentation & Causal Inference (technical) Design A/B tests and holdouts for campaigns, offers and program changes, including power analysis and sample sizing. Apply uplift modelingand causal methods (diff-in-diff, propensity matching) to measure the true incremental impact of loyaltyinitiatives when randomization is not possible.
• Feature Engineering & Data Pipelines (technical) Build and maintainreusable feature sets from large transactional and behavioral datasets. Work with Data Engineering on data quality,lineage and scalable processing in the data warehouse and cloud platform.
• Client Engagement & Insight Delivery (business) Partner with client stakeholders to frame businessquestions as modelingproblems, define successmetrics, and present results and recommendations in executive reviews. Translate model outputs into clear actions for marketing,product and finance teams, and document models, assumptions andlimitations.
