[Hiring] Sr. Data Scientist @The Predictive Index

Role Description

Data science isn't a feature on this team. It's the foundation, and you'll be the person who builds it. We're looking for a senior Data Scientist to establish the data science function from the ground up in a new venture for PI. You'll be defining the discipline, setting the methods, the standards, and the infrastructure that everything downstream depends on. As the subject matter expert, you'll own the evidence behind every claim we make, every metric we ship, and every insight we surface, and you'll be accountable for making sure each one can withstand the scrutiny of the most skeptical HR buyer, product leader, or board reviewer.

Your mandate is full ownership of a scientific function inside a venture that operates with the independence of a startup and the credibility of a 70-year-old science brand. You'll make the foundational calls around what we measure and how we measure it. This opportunity is for someone who has built rigorous data science practices before, knows what excellent looks like, and wants to set the bar rather than inherit it.

What you’ll do

• Own the evidence layer of the venture, end to end.
• Set the standard for rigor.
• Build the foundation from scratch.
• Identify what actually drives outcomes.
• Run the experiments that decide direction.
• Shape strategy, not just inform it.
• Extend the function over time.

Qualifications

• Substantial, senior-level experience as a data scientist in product environments.
• A track record of building product analytics from scratch and owning them end to end.
• Deep expertise running product experiments with statistical rigor.
• The ability to operate as the sole subject matter expert.
• Fluency translating ambiguous business questions into tractable data problems.
• Comfort working at the frontier of research, product, and strategy.
• A graduate degree (or equivalent applied experience) in a quantitative field.
• Passion for using AI in every aspect of your work.
• A builder's mindset and the seniority to match.

Benefits

• Exempt, salaried position ($125,000 - $145,000).
• Full access to PI’s benefits package, including unlimited PTO and 401(k) with employer match.
• Flexibility to work at the Westwood, MA headquarters, remotely, or a mix of both.
