REPORTS TO Director of Data Science

LEVEL Sr. (5+ years) — measures engagement impact and works on customer models

Build for the customer

- Set a baseline for every engagement before work starts, then track the results: account health, renewal outcome, and how predictive scores perform for the customer's sales team.

- Measure how scored accounts perform against unscored ones: close rate, sales cycle length and deal size.

- Assess the impact of model and configuration changes on model performance, qualified-account volume and pipeline timing.

- Run before-and-after and holdout-style analyses that separate a change's real effect from noise.

- Work on live engagements with the senior data scientists: validate account lists, compare a customer's CRM fields with 6sense firmographic data, and help tailor and tune models.

Productize for everyone

- Build value analysis Data Science can run for any customer on demand, such as qualified-account efficiency, deal journeys and conversion by score bucket.

- Build the dashboards and reporting the team, Customer Success and leadership use to follow engagement outcomes.

- Required: 5+ years in data science or advanced analytics, with experience building models and measuring business outcomes.

- Strong SQL and Python, and experience turning messy data into analysis people trust, including matching records across systems by ID.

- Solid grounding in statistics and experiment design: baselines, control groups, and knowing when a difference is real.

- Experience building dashboards or reporting for business stakeholders.

- Clear communicator who can explain what the numbers mean, and what they don't.

- Comfortable switching between several projects at once.

- Nice to have: B2B go-to-market or SaaS customer data (CRM, renewals, pipeline, customer health); a customer-facing, consulting or analytics-for-clients role; BI tools such as Tableau; data platforms such as SingleStore, Snowflake or Hive.

What Success Looks Like

- In 3 months: every active engagement has a documented baseline and an agreed success measure.

- In 6 months: leadership reviews engagement results from reporting you built, and you've contributed to at least one customer model.

- In 12 months: the team can show the business value of its work across all engagements, and you're leading data science work on engagements of your own.

Why this role is different: you see the business outcome of the work directly, and you're the one who shows customers and leadership what it's worth. It's also a direct path into forward-deployed data science.
