The Role:
As the Director of Data Science at Brightloom, you’ll lead the data science team and partner across the organization to help grow our data science capabilities. You’ll be taking business needs from product and engineering teams and creating a comprehensive data science strategy around them. From there, you help prioritize the work for the data science team, balancing the work for the team and helping the independent contributors be their best. You will heavily engage with the application engineering, data engineering, and data science technical leads to ensure that your data science strategies are operationalized effectively.
You’re a person who loves helping others work together to do interesting data science. You can evangelize a data science idea to non-technical people, and you can deal with the realities of a complex business and figure out how to have data science contribute in a positive way. You enjoy leading data scientists so they can do strong work, and helping to elevate the data scientist’s concerns when they raise them.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the data science team as their manager - helping devise projects, removing blockers, and engaging with independent contributors. You’ll be hiring more data scientists and eventually hire managers to do this part of the job for you.
- Represent the data science discipline throughout the organization. You will have a powerful voice in the company and represent data scientists across different parts of the business.
- Partner across Brightloom engineering groups; evangelizing our culture of using data to measure, understand, and improve our product and features.
- Be a strong leader - you will give team members clear feedback that helps them grow and inspires thought leadership. You will lead by example, have compassion for everyone in the company and their challenges, and will take controversial directions when necessary.
- Be an expert in interpreting data and understanding its conclusions - your team will be creating lots of powerful insights and you will be finding the valuable implications of that data.
- Own the data science technical roadmap - take the business priorities from the product team and turn them into a set of projects the data science team will focus on delivering.
- Be involved in new product development - as the product team thinks of new ways to take customer feedback and create a better product, you’ll be heavily involved with assessing what is feasible from a data science perspective.
About you:
- Demonstrated experience building and developing a team
- Demonstrated experience putting a data science product into market, ideally in a startup
- Experience in the marketing, retail, or restaurant domain
- Foundational understanding of the data science ecosystem
