X By is building the consumer brands of the future, with the world’s leading creators. If you want to be part of the next generation of ecommerce, we can’t wait to talk with you! 

Backed by Atomic and Forerunner Ventures, we are building a company that will redefine the entire product development, supply chain, and e-commerce experience.

About the role:
X By is on the hunt for an incredible Lead Data Scientist who understands what it takes to creatively build and manage an analytics driven product. At X By you’ll work with experts in branding, design, supply chain, engineering, and operations to bring ideas to life that will help us democratize brand building.

You will help us uncover what we don't know and should be looking at,,suggest new products for consideration, and ensure we have clean and accurate data for reporting and modeling.

As our first hire on the data team, you will be a critical part of our company’s product direction and future. You’ll build out X By’s data function to position the company as the most revolutionary ecommerce company in the world. You’ll reimagine what it means to aggregate and derive insights from popular creators and trending products.

What You'll Be Doing:

    • Derive insights from creator and product data to influence roadmaps. You’ll build models, lead critical data pipelines, and visualize the data for consumption, both internally and externally.
    • Prepare and lead exploratory analyses to address key questions in X By’s creator and product strategy.
    • Understand internal and external needs, and propose data-driven solutions that are easy to interpret. You do not rely on advanced analytics tools such as machine learning.
    • Work cross-functionally with our product and ecommerce leaders to explore and identify new business opportunities.

We'd love to talk if this sounds like you:

    • You are scrappy and entrepreneurial. You are no stranger to ambiguity. Actually…you thrive in it. You are willing to get down to the nitty-gritty in solving problems and are up to the task of building a team for scale.
    • You are inquisitive and investigative. You embrace a beginner’s mindset and can identify high-impact value adds, with little direction. You have a skeptical and scientific mindset and are excited to test new hypotheses.
    • You have technical chops and can work independently. You are no stranger to data mining, ETL techniques, and warehousing. You’re knowledgeable in advanced statistics and a magician with SQL and Python. You’re a proven data scientist - bonus points if you have worked with fast-growing companies in the past.
    • You are a strong communicator. You are adept at storytelling with data and can break down complex concepts into digestible pieces for your audience.
    • You are scrupulous. You have experience dealing with messy datasets and can derive clear answers from them. You can catch data issues on the stack as they arise. 
    • You are organized and action-oriented. You are a builder and have a penchant for favoring practical choices and speed. You focus on the things that matter and push back on things that don’t. You know how to prioritize your time well and set deadlines for yourself.
    • You love what you do. You live and breathe data and you’re thrilled to make something that will change the world. You run towards huge challenges.
    • You value inclusion and equity. You have a positive mindset and go out of your way to ensure others feel welcome and included. You make the workplace more fun for everyone.
At X By, we believe we put our best work forward when our employees bring together ideas that are diverse in thought. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected category.
