• 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
