About the role

We are hiring a Sr. Data Scientist, Organic Growth to help us understand how our investment in search, app store, and content surfaces drives member acquisition and long-term value. Unlike paid channels, organic growth compounds over time, is mediated by ranking algorithms we don't control, and carries no click-level cost signal — requiring a distinct measurement lens that accounts for paid–organic cannibalization, branded vs.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in organic growth channels (SEO, ASO, content) and in marketing, growth, or product analytics. Experience in FinTech preferred
  • Forecasting experience for a marketing or growth channel: building models that project forward-looking performance and communicating forecast uncertainty and scenario sensitivity to cross-functional stakeholders
  • Strong experience designing and evaluating incrementality tests: SEO split tests, app store listing experiments, geo experiments, and paid holdouts
  • Working knowledge of causal inference methods including experiment design, holdout analysis, and techniques for separating incremental organic demand from cannibalized paid or brand-driven demand
  • Advanced SQL skills and proficiency in Python or R for analysis and modeling
  • Experience working with organic platform data sources (Google Search Console, App Store Connect, Google Play Console, third-party rank tracking or crawl tools)
