Summary

Data Scientist analyzes customer behavior, product usage, and business performance to drive strategic decisions across Product, GTM, and leadership. Requires 5+ years in data science/product analytics, strong SQL, and experience in high-growth B2B SaaS environments.

About the role

Responsibilities

  • Analyze customer behavior, product usage, and business performance to surface insights tied to core metrics like ARR, retention, and sales efficiency.
  • Frame ambiguous business questions into clear analytical approaches and recommendations.
  • Build models, frameworks, and narratives that influence strategy, prioritization, and tradeoffs.
  • Identify customer friction and risk early—and help teams act before issues escalate.
  • Enable teams to self-serve on foundational analytics so you can stay focused on higher-impact work.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience working in data science and/or product analytics.
  • Experience working in startup or high-growth environments, especially B2B SaaS.
  • Strong SQL proficiency with an eye for writing performant, robust queries.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and proactively identifying and defining business problems.
  • Experience helping teams shift from intuition-driven to data-informed decision-making.
  • Exposure to experimentation, forecasting, or predictive modeling.
  • Experience designing data models and building pipelines to unblock yourself.
  • Strong ability to synthesize complex information (data, context, and constraints) into clear, concise narratives for business stakeholders.
  • Comfort moving quickly by default to produce actionable insights—and slowing down when the cost of a wrong decision is high.
  • Ease context-switching across problem areas and teams, from high-level strategy to low-level details as needed.

Compensation

  • Base pay range: $182,800 – $250,000 per year.
  • Additional compensation in the form(s) of equity and/or commission are dependent on the position offered.
  • Retool provides a comprehensive benefit plan, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
