Senior Manager, Data Scientist - Growth Marketing

A senior data science leader who sets and owns the analytics and measurement strategy for SPP, leads a team of data scientists, and provides thought leadership on the most complex, ambiguous problems facing the channel — cross-channel performance drivers, innovative measurement, and automation of data-heavy recurring processes. Operates with a high degree of autonomy, defines the problems worth solving rather than executing pre-scoped tasks, and regularly influences stakeholders through VP/SVP level. Directly manages, coaches, and develops a team of ~3 data scientists (each one level junior), setting technical standards and prioritizing the team’s roadmap against business impact.

Experience & Qualifications:

• PhD, Masters, or Bachelors, preferably in a quantitative or scientific field (Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, Physics, or similar).

• 7+ years in data science / advanced analytics, including 2+ years directly managing or formally leading data scientists or analysts. Comparable leadership experience will be considered in lieu of formal management tenure.

• Proven track record of delivering data-driven insights and measurement solutions that changed business decisions or drove performance improvement, across multiple domains and senior stakeholders.

• Advanced, production-grade experience with Python, R, or SQL for analysis, transformation, modeling, and visualization of large datasets.

• Preferred: marketing, media, or performance-marketing measurement experience (paid social, programmatic, CTV, digital audio, paid app), and familiarity with incrementality and causal measurement.

Functional / Technical Skills

• People leadership: coaching, performance management, hiring, career development, and technical mentorship.

• Strategic thinking and the ability to operate and lead a team through ambiguity.

• Advanced statistics: frequentist and Bayesian methods, experimental design, regression, causal inference.

• Machine learning theory and applied practice.

• Data engineering fundamentals: pipelines, automation, scalable dashboards.

• Stakeholder influence and communication at senior (Director / VP / SVP) levels.

• Storytelling and data visualization for both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Strong business acumen and domain judgment.

In this role, you will:

People Leadership & Team Development

• Directly manages a team of ~3 data scientists (each one level junior), owning hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development.

• Sets technical standards, review practices, and ways of working for the team; establishes code review, reproducibility, and documentation norms.

• Coaches team members on statistical technique, modeling, experimentation, and stakeholder communication, and creates development paths that stretch each individual.

• Allocates team capacity against a prioritized roadmap, balancing strategic bets, BAU measurement, and stakeholder demand; protects the team from low-value order-taking.

• Builds a collaborative, transparent, and inclusive team culture; represents the team’s work and needs to senior leadership.

Strategy & Handling Ambiguity

• Defines the analytics and measurement strategy for SPP and translates ambiguous, loosely-defined business goals into structured analytical programs with clear objectives and phased delivery.

• Frames complex, open-ended business problems as tractable analytics problems and sequences them into manageable workstreams for the team.

• Makes independent judgment calls on scope, method, and level of effort with limited direction; solves for the underlying objective, not the literal ask.

• Anticipates emerging measurement and performance questions before they are raised and proactively shapes the team’s agenda around them.

Thought Leadership — Cross-Channel Performance & Innovative Measurement

• Provides thought leadership on cross-channel performance drivers across paid social, programmatic display & video, CTV, digital audio, and paid app, spanning BEX, HCOM, and VRBO.

• Advances the measurement toolkit — incrementality, causal impact, geo experiments, media mix / multi-touch approaches, uncertainty-aware and multi-armed bandit methods — and selects the right technique for each question, articulating trade-offs between simpler and more complex approaches.

• Critically evaluates new methods, tools, and datasets, pilots promising ones, and scales what works into repeatable practice.

• Partners with Machine Learning / Data Science and measurement teams to validate and scale models for maximum business value.

• Sets the standard for interpreting model output correctly, iterating, and distinguishing statistically significant readouts from exploratory analysis.

Automation & Data Engineering

• Owns the automation strategy for the team’s data-heavy recurring processes — weekly, monthly, and quarterly reporting (WBR / MBR / QBR) — reducing manual effort and freeing capacity for higher-value analysis.

• Directs the design of scalable dashboards and scheduled reporting covering multiple scenarios (geo, web and app, brand), and empowers stakeholders with self-serve access and training.

• Guides the team in building shareable, efficient, well-documented code and data pipelines; champions reproducibility via tools such as GitHub and Confluence.

• Applies and enforces best practices for data quality, query cost and performance optimization, and integration across disparate sources.

• Writes and reviews advanced SQL (views, tables, partitions, window functions such as RANK() OVER / PARTITION BY) and works fluently across SQL flavors and querying tools; knows the most important data sources for SPP and the wider business and how to unblock data issues to resolution.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

• Regularly interacts with and influences stakeholders through VP/SVP level; builds trust and works transparently across the business.

• Independently articulates project goals, methodology, caveats, and conclusions to technical and non-technical audiences, tailoring executive summaries and presentations to the audience’s goals and technical level.

• Tells a clear, concise story and presents insight rather than data; creates the right artifacts (technical documentation, presentations, executive summaries) for the right forum.

• Identifies and engages domain experts and stakeholders early to sharpen the business question, feature selection, and relevance of outputs.

• Not easily deterred by organizational barriers to sharing results or effecting change; follows through to impact.

The total cash range for this position in Seattle is $173,000.00 to $242,500.00. Employees in this role have the potential to increase their pay up to $277,000.00, which is the top of the range, based on ongoing, demonstrated, and sustained performance in the role.
