• Proactively surface insights and opportunities to drive engagement and growth.
• Build tools and systems for stakeholders to self‑serve routine data and insights freeing up time to work on more leveraged analyses.
• Become an expert in OpenAI's data and systems. Through partnership with Data Eng, Finance and other business teams, you will self‑serve all the underlying data for our business and derive insights from them.
• Partner with other data scientists across the company to share knowledge and continually synthesize learnings across the organization.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• At least 7+ years of experience in Data Science roles within dynamic, outcome‑driven organizations.
• Expertise in statistics and causal inference, applied in both experimentation and observational causal inference studies.
• Proficiency in quantitative programming languages, such as Python and R.
• Expertise in SQL, with extensive experience extracting large datasets and designing ETL workflows.
• Experience using business intelligence tools, such as Mode, Tableau, and Looker.
• Strategic and impact‑driven mindset, capable of translating complex business problems into actionable frameworks.
• Ability to build relationships with diverse stakeholders and cultivate strong partnerships.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to bridge technical and non‑technical stakeholders and collaborate across various functions to ensure business impact.
• Ability to craft clear data stories using decks, memos, and dashboards to drive decision‑making at every level.
• Best‑in‑class attention to detail and unwavering commitment to accuracy.
• Proven track record in solving problems within Finance, Marketing, Partnerships, Sales, Support, or other GTM areas.
