About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own attribution, incrementality, LTV / CAC, customer segmentation, forecasting, and experimentation across our business units.
Build the analytical view of how our businesses (admin, Carry, Ark, Meridian) reinforce each other, where the flywheel is real, where it’s aspirational, and what investments accelerate it.
Make running good experiments the default for product, marketing, and growth, with the infrastructure and review process to back it up.
Inherit a working platform with real gaps. Decide which gaps to fill, which to accept, and how to keep investing so the foundation grows with the demands you’re putting on it.
Lead a small, senior team of three to start, and personally do a meaningful share of the work and shaping of the team.

Requirements

What you’ll need

8+ years in data science, decision science, or growth analytics, including hands-on practitioner work. At least 2 years leading teams.
Deep expertise in some combination of attribution, causal inference, experimentation, LTV / CAC, segmentation, forecasting, and marketplace measurement. Demonstrated, not aspirational.
Strong Python and SQL. You’ve built models recently enough to still be opinionated about how to build them.
Track record of changing executive decisions through analysis. You can point to specific calls you helped get right, and ones you got wrong, and what you learned.
Exceptional written communication. We expect to read what you write and act on it.
Maturity with the platform layer. You don’t have to be the deepest data engineer in the room, but you have to make good architectural calls and respect the work of the engineers on your team.
A genuine appetite for being a player-coach. If your career goal is to never write SQL again, this is the wrong role.
Marketplace, fintech, or financial services background is a bonus, not a requirement.
