GTM Staff Data Scientist
Provides technical leadership for AI and machine learning decision systems supporting sales and marketing, including forecasting, propensity modeling, causal measurement, and recommendations. Requires 5+ years of production data science experience, strong Python and SQL skills, and advanced quantitative training or equivalent experience.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Set the technical direction for a portfolio of AI and machine learning GTM decision systems spanning Sales and Marketing.
- Develop pipeline forecasting methods that model stage progression, conversion, and deal timing.
- Build account, lead, opportunity, and customer models that identify propensity, risk, potential, and likely next outcomes.
- Develop recommendation and next-best-action systems that determine where GTM teams should focus, which action to take, and when to take it.
- Apply causal inference, experimentation, and uplift modeling to measure the incremental impact of campaigns, sales activities, and customer interventions.
- Define common standards for point-in-time training, backtesting, calibration, ranking quality, treatment-effect evaluation, uncertainty, and realized business impact.
- Partner with GTM leaders and RevOps to identify high-value decisions, define interventions, and embed outputs into recurring workflows.
- Separate genuine customer and market movement from CRM changes, selection effects, territory shifts, instrumentation gaps, and model artifacts.
- Mentor scientists and raise technical standards across GTM Data Science and partner teams.
Requirements
- Advanced degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 5+ years of experience building production-grade statistical or machine learning systems with meaningful business impact.
- Record of setting technical direction across ambiguous, cross-functional, or multi-team problem spaces.
- Deep expertise in several relevant areas, including causal inference, experimentation, forecasting, propensity modeling, uplift modeling, ranking, or recommendation systems.
- Strong judgment about when to use predictive machine learning, causal methods, generative AI, or a simpler analytical approach.
- Experience translating business decisions into measurable objectives, interventions, evaluation designs, and production systems.
- Strong Python and SQL skills and experience working with large-scale data platforms.
- Experience operating models with monitoring, validation, versioning, reproducibility, and safe lifecycle management.
- Ability to work with imperfect CRM, marketing, product, and customer data while making assumptions and limitations explicit.
- Demonstrated ownership of high-stakes outputs used by business or executive stakeholders.
- Excellent communication, technical leadership, and cross-functional influence skills.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with B2B SaaS, enterprise sales, consumption-based businesses, or account-based GTM motions.
- Pipeline forecasting, account prioritization, lead or opportunity scoring, expansion, renewal, or churn modeling.
- Incrementality testing, causal measurement, uplift modeling, or marketing effectiveness.
- Recommendation systems, next-best-action models, ranking, or decision optimization.
- LLMs, agents, retrieval systems, or AI-assisted Sales and Marketing workflows.
- CRM, marketing automation, product telemetry, customer success, and unstructured interaction data.
- Deploying model outputs into business workflows and measuring adoption and realized impact.
Compensation
- Salary range: $184,000–$264,500.
