The Role
As Staff Data Scientist for Linktree's Core Product Analytics team, you'll be responsible for planning, launching and evaluating a wide range of experiments in our growth / saas revenue product.

Who We're Looking For
You have at least 6 years of relevant experience as a Data Scientist in a high-growth, product-centric technology company;
You have direct experience with consumer-facing SaaS products and driving experiments that optimize B2C revenue growth (e.g., subscriptions, freemium to paid conversion, pricing, churn reduction);
You have hands-on experience of driving a wide range experiments, from quick-and-scrappy "spikes" to more formal hypothesis tests;
You have at least a Bachelor's Degree in mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, or a related discipline (a Master's Degree or PhD is a bonus);
You have clear experience of using data to drive business impact;
