At Yelp, it’s our mission to connect people with great local businesses. Yelp’s unique dataset contains billions of interactions between users and businesses around the globe, from a review of a coffee shop to requesting a repair quote with a photo of a leaky faucet. Data Scientists at Yelp work to make sense of these interactions to deliver impactful analyses and products to our users, business partners and the general public.
The Data Science & Analytics team performs analyses, builds models, and designs experiments that directly impact Yelp’s products and users. Our teams sit in Yelp’s central product management organization and work directly with cross-functional leaders to understand quantitatively how our products are performing and where the largest opportunities are. We are adept at tasks like modeling user preferences, inference from user and marketplace experiments, and generating insights about the health of local economies. With diverse backgrounds and expertise, we strive for learning and growth in a collaborative environment.
We are looking for a Lead Data Scientist to join the Core Local Business team. The team is centrally located within our product organization, and focused on analytics, research, and inference support for product and engineering stakeholders. The Core Local Business team partners with product and engineering teams building the Yelp for Business Owners user experience, from claiming a free business listing, to paid product acquisition, and long-term engagement and retention. Lead Data Scientists at Yelp are technical and cultural leaders within their teams, and collectively influence the development of shared tools, infrastructure, and processes across the organization.
Local businesses are turning to Yelp because we’re uniquely positioned to help them reach their customers during these challenging times. Our Engineering & Product teams have responded by quickly identifying their needs and building innovative products and features to support them. Our commitment to connecting people with great local businesses has never been stronger.
