• Partner with product leadership: Combine data insights with business acumen to partner with Product, Engineering, and Design leaders in shaping roadmap and prioritization decisions.
• Apply advanced analytical methods: Apply ML and causal inference techniques to connected accounts-specific problems such as link conversion, drop-off, and engagement with account-based features, adapting existing frameworks or building new ones as needed.
• Design and run experiments: Design and execute experiments (A/B/n, and quasi-experimental designs where testing is constrained) to evaluate changes to the member experience and quantify their impact on member and business outcomes.
• Build member segmentation: Analyze member behavior within Connected Accounts to build segmentation that improves targeting, personalization, and feature relevance.
• Contribute to the AI-native roadmap: Partner with the team to identify opportunities to apply AI/ML within the connected accounts experience, help design measurement plans, and connect model performance to member and business outcomes.

Mentor and support the team: Mentor other data scientists on best practices and experimentation rigor, and contribute to hiring and calibration as needed.

• Experience designing and interpreting experiments, with working knowledge of causal inference techniques for use when experimentation is constrained.
• Solid understanding of customer segmentation and experimentation design, with the judgment to balance statistical rigor and business considerations.
• Exposure to lightweight Machine Learning in terms of being able to build offline classification & regression models to inform business decisions.
• Experience contributing to reusable analytical frameworks, methodologies, or tools used by others on the team.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-influence skills, with the ability to work effectively with Director-level partners across business and technical teams.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, make fast data-driven decisions, and operate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
