Team Description:

The Data Science Team at Reddit is expanding, and we are looking for an experienced leader to head a team of talented data scientists focused on the Marketing & Business Development domain. Our core mission is to evolve Marketing & BD Data Science from ad-hoc reporting to a strategic data science partnership that scales Reddit’s marketing efforts, and to help product and marketing teams make data-driven, high-confidence decisions.

The team's work is centered around three strategic pillars:

• Data Foundations: Building and maintaining a canonical single source of truth for marketing performance and attribution, leveraging robust data foundations to power reliable campaign analyses, experimentation, and accurate Lifetime Value (LTV) modeling.
• Causal Measurement & Metrics: Ensuring consistent measurement of campaign quality and ROI by defining and deploying advanced causal decision frameworks and models.
• Decision-Making Insights: Functioning as a strategic partner to the Marketing organization, translating data into clear, actionable recommendations to guide budget allocation and identify high-value growth segments.

Responsibilities:

As a Data Science Senior Manager, you will lead a team that is crucial to Reddit's user growth strategy. You will:

• Lead and Develop: Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing team of data scientists focused on the Marketing & Business Development domain.
• Drive Strategy: Serve as a thought-partner to cross-functional leaders (Product, Engineering, Design, and Marketing), communicating and shaping the roadmap and strategy for Reddit by identifying actionable and impactful insights.
• Deliver Causal Insights: Lead initiatives to quantify the true incremental lift of marketing spend and prevent budget allocation on non-incremental channels, including developing and deploying Incremental/Predictive LTV models.
• Standardize Measurement: Oversee the establishment of measurement frameworks (incl. effective experimental designs and/or Causal inference methods) to evaluate Brand Initiatives and ensure consistent metrics are aligned across the organization for campaign quality and ROI.
• Drive Adoption: Drive the adoption of strategic and tactical recommendations based on deep product experience and data understanding to maximize our value to consumers.
• Ensure Data Quality: Take a keen interest in the collection and quality of underlying data, including overseeing work on ETLs, reporting dashboards, and data aggregations needed for business tracking and/or ML model development.
• Enable Self-Service: Lead initiatives to enable analytics self-serve capabilities for cross-functional teams.

Required Qualifications:

• You have experience in driving product strategy and roadmaps through analytics, ideally for consumer technology products and marketplaces
• You built, led and developed high performing product analytics teams before: ideally 5+ years of leadership experience as a people manager, leading a team of up to 10 data scientists.

• You excel at communicating to both technical and non-technical people
