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. You’ll leverage your deep statistical and machine learning expertise to understand and optimize every stage of the funnel, working closely with marketing, sales, and customer success to drive revenue growth.

You’ll own the development and execution of sophisticated models and analyses that help us identify opportunities, reduce churn, personalize engagement, and ultimately grow Givebutter’s customer base.

• 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.

Responsibilities

  • Customer segmentation and clustering

  • Churn risk prediction

  • Predictive modeling (e.g., decision trees, random forests, gradient boosting, neural networks)

  • Causal inference and experimentation (e.g., A/B testing, uplift modeling)

• 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

  • Machine learning techniques (e.g., classification, regression, ensemble methods)

  • Time series forecasting and anomaly detection

  • 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.

• Experience with BI tools (e.g., Looker, Mode, Tableau) and modern data stack environments (e.g., dbt, Snowflake, BigQuery).
