About the role
Turn complex data into growth decisions that shape the future of Superhuman’s product suite.
As an Acquisition Data Scientist at Superhuman, you’ll shape how we acquire, activate, and expand our user base across a diverse portfolio of consumer and enterprise products. You’ll partner directly with Acquisition Marketing to improve the effectiveness of paid and organic channels, optimize the web funnel, and ensure every marketing dollar drives measurable growth.
Your work will span the Superhuman product suite, including Grammarly, Mail, Docs, Databases, GPTZero, Fathom, and Go. Because we’re building an integrated platform rather than a collection of standalone tools, insights from one product can unlock growth across the portfolio. You’ll tackle questions spanning budget allocation, channel attribution, SEO, AEO, cross-product activation, bundled offerings, and the full self-serve journey from first touch through activation and viral expansion.
You’ll be embedded in a cross-functional pod aligned to a Route to Market, working closely with Engineering, Finance, Marketing, Design, and User Research. With direct access to the leaders setting strategy, you’ll serve as the go-to data partner for acquisition: getting into the technical details, translating complex findings into clear recommendations on channel optimization, budget decisions, and new growth areas.
This role is for a hands-on data scientist who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys solving complex growth problems, and wants their work to measurably influence outcomes across products, audiences, and go-to-market motions.
What you would do
* Be the go-to data person working directly with our Acquisition Marketing team, helping drive the efficacy of their marketing spend across our core paid and organic channels. This role is for someone who wants to be extremely hands-on, enjoys partnering cross-functionally with marketing peers, and wants to get deep into the technical weeds to find the best recommendations to ensure we optimize every marketing dollar we spend.
* Be the embedded data science partner for the Superhuman Acquisition Marketing team — shaping channel strategy, budget allocation, prioritization, and roadmap decisions with evidence, not just fielding ad hoc requests.
* Define and own the metrics that matter for Acquisition: LTV/CAC, new user growth, lifetime value, and web conversion rates to ensure we are responsible with our ad spend and driving continued conversion optimization.
