About the role

We're scaling quickly, and data is one of our most important strategic levers for unlocking growth and improving patient outcomes. As a Data Science Lead, you'll embed with our Product team and own analytics for the patient lifecycle—developing a deep understanding of how patients start care, stay engaged, churn, and come back, and turning that understanding into business opportunities.

What they're looking for

  • Own patient lifecycle analytics end-to-end: Define the metrics and surface the insights that shape our understanding of patient behavior and inform the product roadmap
  • Develop production-ready predictive models: Build, validate, and maintain models of churn, resurrection, and targeting
  • Deliver high-impact analyses: Break down complex topics into clear narratives and recommendations with sized business opportunities
  • Drive scientific decision-making: Design and analyze experiments, and where experiments aren't feasible, apply causal inference methods to measure the impact of features and feature adoption
  • Be a thought partner to Product: Work backwards from sizing a problem to proposing what we should do about it, and shape team priorities and roadmaps
  • Contribute to our experimentation platform: Help build the methodology, standards, and tooling that teams across the company rely on
