At Thumbtack, we're creating a new era of home care. If making an impact and the chance to do good inspires you, join us. Imagine what we’ll build together.
Thumbtack by the Numbers
About the Data Science Team
The Data Science team empowers Thumbtack to use data to guide business decisions. We collaborate with partners across the company to solve the most analytically challenging problems -- everything from how we set prices across hundreds of local services categories to evaluating the impact of a new business model on company performance. This role specifically sits on the Operations Data Science team, which provides insights for Thumbtack’s Commercial Strategy, Partnerships/Business Development, Sales, Support Operations, and Trust and Safety teams. We are a tight-knit, intellectually curious team that is committed to improving Thumbtack and improving each other.
About the Role
As a Senior Data Scientist, you’ll partner with product and operations leaders in shaping the strategy for the Commercial Strategy team. This team plays a major role in shaping the strategy of our business and specifically works with Refunds, Incentives, Category Management, Partnerships, Communications/PR and Commercial Strategy. In this role, you will measure and test the impact of new projects and ventures, set up and track KPIs for the team as growth continues to accelerate at a fast pace, and proactively strategize on where the team should focus. You will be involved in building many new processes from 0 to 1 and owning all data related tasks.
Data Scientists also collaborate with partners in Data Engineering, Marketing, Internal Tools and Product teams on broader efforts where product and operations overlap. You will be expected to quickly build technical and content expertise about our platform. You will be involved in scoping, prioritization and execution of tasks related to new company initiatives and programs while also gathering, organizing and presenting insights, trends and predictions to partners and stakeholders.
