## About the role

We’re looking for a Staff Data Scientist to help shape how GoFundMe uses data science to grow our impact across marketing, growth, and product. This role will serve as a senior individual contributor who leads high-impact workstreams across go-to-market and product surfaces, with a primary focus on helping the business make better decisions about audience strategy, acquisition, retention, personalization, experimentation, and investment efficiency.

## What they're looking for

- Lead high-impact data science initiatives across marketing, growth, and product, from problem definition through methodology, execution, interpretation, and recommendation
- Define org-level technical strategy, identify high-leverage opportunities, and establish best practices for experimentation, causal measurement, modeling, AI-assisted development, and decision science
- Design, analyze, and interpret experiments and quasi-experiments, build scalable frameworks to estimate incrementality, treatment effects, and long-term business value
- Partner with Marketing, Growth, Sales, Finance, and Product to evaluate acquisition, retention, ROI, user journeys, funnels, marketplace dynamics, donation conversion, and engagement
- Use AI tools to accelerate prototyping, analysis, coding, debugging, documentation, and repetitive workflows without compromising quality, accuracy, or review standards
- Translate complex analyses into clear recommendations for technical, non-technical, and executive audiences
