Job Title: Data Scientist -Growth Analytics
Location: New York City, NY (Hybrid-3 days a week)
Employment Type: Fulltime
Responsibilities Growth Strategy & Acquisition
- Pricing & Incentive Strategy: Design and test dynamic pricing models and incentive structures (e.g., first-order discounts, owner bonuses). You will mathematically determine how to stoke demand and aid conversion without eroding our contribution profit margins, ensuring every dollar of "discount" generates long-term ROI.
- The Growth Equation: Model our acquisition channels (Organic, Paid, Referral, Ambassadors). You will identify which channels have the highest LTV/CAC ratio and tell us where to double down.
- Viral Loops: Analyze our referral and sharing behaviors. You will calculate our K-factor (virality) and identify product changes to keep our users as our best marketing channel.
Marketplace Liquidity & Retention
- Supply-Led Growth: Analyze how inventory levels drive organic growth. Does adding 100 power owners in Chicago unlock 1,000 new customers? You will tell us where to focus supply acquisition.
- The "Magic Moments": Identify the specific user behaviors that lead to long-term retention (e.g., "Users who rent within 7 days of signup retain at 3x").
- Churn Prediction: Build models to identify at-risk users before they leave, allowing our CX team to intervene.
Product Conversion (CRO)
- Funnel Optimization: Own the granular analysis of our demand and supply funnels. You will find the leaks in the bucket and design A/B tests to plug them.
- Experimentation: Help the product team design valid experiments. You ensure we aren't just shipping features, but moving metrics with statistical significance.
Requirements
- The "Grinder" Mentality: You are relentlessly curious. You are the type of person who can't put something down until you figure out the why.
- Growth Native: You speak the language of growth: CAC, LTV, ROAS, K-Factor, Churn, and Cohorts. You understand that "Data Science" is a tool to make money and grow the user base.
- Product Fluency: You understand product growth loops and can quickly execute and extract insights from demand funnels and A/B tests
- 5 Years Experience: Ideally in a Consumer Marketplace or high-growth B2C app. You have seen how a company scales and understand the data infrastructure needed to support it.
- Note: We are open to less experience if you have exceptional raw talent and a portfolio of solving complex growth problems.
- Technical Fluency: Expert-level SQL. Proficient in Python/R for modeling. Experience with growth stacks (PostHog, Mixpanel, AppsFlyer, Segment) and visualization tools.
