• Deliver data-driven solutions by translating complex analyses into clear, actionable recommendations in compelling ways that influence strategy and roadmap decisions.

• Partner with Product and other teams to evaluate and refine retention-focused initiatives such as onboarding flows, memberships, and loyalty programs.

• Conduct deep-dive analyses to identify patterns, diagnose problems, and inform strategic decisions around rider engagement.

• Identify key “aha” moments that predict long-term retention and quantify their impact on rider behavior.
  

About You:

• MS or PhD in Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, or a related quantitative field.

• 5+ years of industry experience as a Data Scientist, ideally in product analytics, growth, or consumer-facing platforms.

• Deep understanding of probability and statistics, including causal inference and experimental design.
