We are excited to hear from talented people who want to work with other talented people in making the world a butter place—and have fun along the way.

Role Description

As a Data Scientist on the Revenue Team, you’ll be our go-to expert on the customer journey—from first touch through retention—and the data behind it.

• Excel at advanced statistical and machine learning modeling, turning data from different channels - transactions, CRM systems, customer engagement platforms, web analytics, and marketing automation tools - into actionable insights that empower revenue stakeholders to make impactful decisions.

• Have experience collaborating with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Customer Experience, and Customer Support teams, deeply understanding their needs, business use cases, and data requirements.

• Have strong technical and conceptual experience in the revenue space, including multi-touch attribution, linear and logistic regression, customer segmentation and clustering, churn risk prediction, and engagement scoring—enabling data-driven strategies that directly accelerate growth and retention.

• Design and deploy machine learning models that enhance targeting, personalization, and lifecycle marketing efforts.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with GTM teams (Marketing, Sales, Customer Success) to embed insights and models into decision-making processes.

• Communicate complex findings clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

REVENUE DATA MODELING

• Gain a deep understanding of the revenue team’s business needs and data sources, partnering with stakeholders to understand what’s needed in the short- and medium-term.

• Working with our analytics engineer, develop the definition, logic, and documentation of the data model that supports these needs, with a focus on quality, usability, adaptability, and clear communication/documentation in a fast-changing environment.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a Data Scientist or similar role, ideally within a growth, revenue, or marketing analytics function.

• Strong statistical foundations and hands-on experience with:

  • Logistic/linear regression, clustering, and segmentation

  • Causal inference and experimentation design

  • Building and validating predictive models at scale

• Expert proficiency in SQL and at least one statistical programming language (e.g., Python, R), and familiarity with machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, or similar.
