Mailchimp Customer Success - Staff Data Scientist

Overview

The Mailchimp Customer Success (CS) Data Science & Analytics team’s mission is to empower world-class customer experiences across digital and expert-led channels by delivering data-driven insights, experimentation, and predictive intelligence. We partner closely with Customer Success, Product, Data Engineering, and Operations teams to improve customer engagement, retention, and long-term success for Mailchimp’s small and mid-market customers.

As a Staff Data Scientist, you will serve as a senior individual contributor and strategic thought partner, applying deep analytical expertise and business judgment to some of Mailchimp CS’s most complex and high-impact problems. You will shape measurement frameworks, lead advanced experimentation and causal analysis, and translate insights into clear recommendations that influence strategy and execution across the organization.

This role offers a unique opportunity to help define how Customer Success impact is measured at scale—especially as Mailchimp evolves its data platforms, AI-enabled experiences, and customer engagement models.

Responsibilities

• Conceptualize ambiguous business problems, formulate hypotheses, and design rigorous analytical approaches to evaluate Customer Success programs and initiatives.
• Design, execute, and interpret experiments beyond traditional A/B testing, including causal inference methods (e.g., quasi-experiments, DiD, matching, synthetic control).
• Develop and maintain scalable measurement frameworks for key CS outcomes such as engagement, retention, TNPS, customer health, and support effectiveness.
• Build predictive models and durable customer segmentation approaches to improve targeting, prioritization, and customer experience personalization.
• Translate complex analyses into clear, actionable insights and narratives for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership.
• Partner with Data Engineering to ensure high data quality, well-defined metrics, and scalable analytics assets—especially during platform and data migrations.
• Evaluate and help measure the impact of AI/ML- and LLM-driven customer experiences across human and digital success channels.
• Champion analytics rigor, experimentation best practices, and reusable solutions that scale impact beyond individual projects.
• Role-model Intuit’s “Win Together” mindset by collaborating deeply across teams and elevating the analytical bar of the broader organization.

• Advanced SQL skills and strong proficiency in Python for data analysis, modeling, and experimentation (e.g., pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, statsmodels).
• Proven ability to work with large, complex datasets and translate insights into business decisions.
• Experience building scalable, reusable analytics or modeling solutions that improve efficiency and consistency.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and guide decision-making.

Preferred
