• Youll distil insights that you share widely throughout the company, and that inform our future product direction;
• Youll build and own important datasets that quantify key aspects of our core product and our users behaviour, and youll mentor your team-mates on how best to use these datasets to drive impact;
• Youll monitor key metrics for our core product, and collaborate with your team-mates to ensure were making good progress towards our business goals;
• Youll stay up-to-date with the latest developments in data science, to ensure were always operating at the cutting-edge;
• Youll contribute to our overall data strategy, ensuring we remain competitive and innovative;
• Youll evangelise best practices for data and statistics, and drive adoption across the company.

Who We're Looking For

• You have at least 4 years of relevant experience as a Data Scientist in a high-growth, product-centric technology company;
• You have hands-on experience of driving a wide range experiments, from quick-and-scrappy spikes to more formal hypothesis tests;
• You have at least a Bachelors Degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, or a related discipline (a Masters Degree or PhD is a bonus);
• You have clear experience of using data to drive business impact;
• You thrive in a fast-paced, agile product development environment;
