About You

We are looking for a Data Scientist to take our data practice to the next level. You will work with our Head of Data Science to build our data model with industry best practice, extract insights from user data to influence the product roadmap, design experiments to measure product impact, and develop automated processes to enable self-serve analytics . You will take a leading role in defining how we leverage data at VSCO, scope out projects, propose approaches, and drive them to completion.

You are curious and driven to collect, analyze and interpret data that will be used to inform product decisions. You can break down complex and ambiguous technical questions and provide clear answers in return. You are not afraid of digging into the data and working across teams to find missing pieces.
