Job Details

Patreon is a media and community platform where creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. Over 300k creators are cultivating fandoms and building their businesses each month. Creators can offer free memberships to fans looking to explore more of their work, paid memberships to give access to exclusive media and community, or sell directly to fans with Shops.

Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:

  • 8B+ earned since Patreon's inception

  • 30M free new memberships in the first year of launching that option, and

  • 10M fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators' work and community.

  • You'll translate data into actionable insights and communicate your technical work to the data team, your cross-functional partners, executive leadership, and the rest of the company. 

  • You’ll be a cultural and technical leader on the data science team. 

About You

  • You have a wealth of experience helping product teams make great decisions with data.

  • You have experience making tradeoffs between speed and accuracy.

  • You are a SQL expert and have experience in Python or R to perform statistical analyses.

  • You have a track record of building strong relationships with product, engineering, research, and design teammates.
