Our take: The real work here is leading a small data science team to answers that change what product and engineering leaders decide, while raising the bar for rigour and stepping in hands-on when it counts.
If you love turning messy product questions into answers that leaders actually act on, this is a role where your analysis sets the agenda. You will lead a team of six data scientists, raise the bar for what good looks like, and still roll up your sleeves to pressure-test a model or write the query yourself. It suits someone who thrives in ambiguity, has the courage to challenge, and wants to grow people as much as results.
