Job description

The real world is the next frontier, and at Metropolis, we are creating the artificial intelligence to make it responsive. We are pioneering the Recognition Economy — a future where mundane repetition disappears and being known unlocks access, comfort and belonging everywhere you go. From transforming parking into a seamless drive-in, drive-out experience for millions of Members to expanding our intelligence layer across retail and hospitality, we are building a world that feels instinctive and magical. The future isn’t coming; it’s here, and we need builders, innovators and problem solvers to help us create it.

Who you are

Metropolis is seeking a Senior Data Scientist, Growth Marketing to join our growing data team. In this role, you will serve as the primary quantitative partner to our Growth Marketing leadership, turning massive real-world transactional and behavioral datasets into engines for user acquisition, retention, and gross profit expansion. You bring a deep background in marketing measurement and causal inference, with proven experience building multi-touch attribution systems, modeling customer lifetime value (LTV), and designing rigorous marketing experiments. You excel not only at building complex predictive models, but also at translating high-level data insights into clear business strategies for cross-functional stakeholders across Growth, Product, and Finance.

What you'll do

• Design, deploy, and refine predictive models for Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA), Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), and Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) efficiency to guide multi-channel marketing budget allocation
• Conduct deep-dive cohort analyses and retention modeling to uncover drivers of user conversion, repeat behavior, and churn across our location-based growth funnel
• Lead the growth experimentation roadmap by designing, executing, and analyzing A/B tests, geo-experiments, holdout tests, and incrementality studies across digital and physical acquisition channels
• Partner directly with Growth Marketing and Finance leaders to optimize unit economics, justify marketing spend against gross profit targets, and set channel-level growth goals
• Collaborate with analytics and data engineering teams to establish event tracking requirements, build scalable growth data pipelines, and develop automated executive dashboards
• Utilize advanced AI tools and modern analytics frameworks to transform static analytical workflows into responsive, high-output processes

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a related quantitative field
• 6+ years of proven experience as a Data Scientist or Analytics Lead, with a distinct focus on growth marketing, performance media, or adtech
• Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL for complex data manipulation, statistical modeling, and predictive analytics
• Deep domain expertise in growth measurement frameworks, multi-touch attribution, cohort retention modeling, and LTV/CAC dynamics
• Hands-on experience with statistical experimentation and causal inference techniques such as A/B testing, geo-testing, synthetic controls, and media mix modeling
• Strong business acumen with a track record of partnering with senior executives in Growth, Product, and Finance to drive measurable bottom-line growth
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills to make complex data stories intuitive and actionable
• Experience leveraging AI tools to transform static workflows into responsive, high-output processes

While not required, these are a plus:

• Experience with cloud platforms, including AWS S3, SageMaker, and Airflow
• Experience with cloud data warehouses and modern data tools such as Snowflake, dbt, Looker, and Tableau
• Familiarity with Media Mix Modeling (MMM) frameworks including Robyn and LightweightMMM
• Hands-on experience with machine learning frameworks such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch applied to user segmentation or churn prediction
• Ability to write clean, efficient, robust, and well-commented code to produce high-quality data science procedures
