  • Foster a data driven culture by elevating metrics reporting and understanding
  • Establish trust within and across teams by creating accountability and a positive work environment in partnership with other leaders in the organization
  • Establish a vision for the team.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

  • 5+ years of experience collaborating with sales teams, building models and conducting strategic analysis to fuel growth
  • 2+ years of experience managing high output business oriented sales data science teams
  • Proven track record of influencing functions and shipping high-quality data products that support organizational objectives
  • Firm knowledge around statistical methods, including lead scoring, experimentation, and attribution modeling
  • Proficiency in leveraging data and metrics to guide business decisions

  • A desire to build an inclusive and diverse culture
  • Experience scaling teams in high growth environment
