Full Job Description
Data Science Lead, Global Creator Platform

About the role

Beast Industries is building the operating system for creator monetization - the connective tissue between the world's biggest creators and the brands that want to reach their audiences. Vyro is our brand-creator marketplace, and we believe there's a real opportunity to do something here that no one else in the space is set up to do.

Where's the real incrementality - and how much is it worth?

We're hiring a Data Science Lead, reporting to the CTO, to design and run the experiments that will help us answer it. You'll start as a senior individual contributor and help build a quant team over time. You'll build a portfolio of incrementality tests, lift studies, measurement frameworks, and whatever else helps drive the platform forwards. You should expect many of our strongest beliefs about creator marketing to be wrong - a key part of this role is designing experiments that overturn assumptions and help us discover what actually drives outcomes.

This is an early role on a new team still finding its shape. You'll work directly with leadership, sit close to the engineers and product people building Vyro, and have a direct line to the creative talent that powers Beast. You'll be one of the people figuring this out from scratch, alongside the team behind the most-watched creator on the planet.

What you'll do
  • Help us run our first real campaigns and learn from them - fast. Design tests that get useful answers in weeks and tighten the methodology with each iteration.
  • Build the measurement playbook as we go: holdouts, geo-experiments, matched markets, retargeting studies, creative variant testing - picking the right tool for the question in front of us, not the most elegant one in the textbook.
  • Partner with our buy-side operators on retargeting strategy, turning campaign exposure data into audiences and quantifying what those audiences are worth.
  • Translate findings into clear, brand-facing case studies and internal product decisions, and iterate to sharpen the next sales conversation or product bet.
  • Drive adoption of measurement frameworks across sales, creator partnerships, and leadership.
  • Work directly with creators, creative leads, sales, and engineering. Help generate and evaluate hypotheses about what makes sponsored content actually convert: pacing, placement, call-to-action, narrative integration, and the subtler factors no one has quantified yet.
  • Help us figure out where creator data should and shouldn't flow and determine where our long-term advantage lives.

In your first 6-12 months, you'll have:
  • Established the measurement foundations needed to support experimentation, attribution, and campaign performance analysis, including instrumentation, core datasets, and data quality standards.
  • Designed and shipped Vyro's first incrementality studies across our earliest brand campaigns.
  • Authored a measurement playbook our sales team uses in brand conversations.
  • Established the baseline metrics leadership uses to evaluate creator-brand match quality and platform ROI.
  • Built the foundation of a quant practice.


Required qualifications:
  • 7+ years of professional experience in data science, ad measurement, or a similar analytics role with a strong emphasis on providing experiments that shipped and influenced decisions.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently scope, execute, and communicate analytical work in ambiguous environments with limited existing infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in Python/R for statistical analysis and modelling, and fluency in SQL.
  • Experience with data collection, APIs, and integration requirements across digital platforms.
  • Practical working knowledge of incrementality testing, causal inference fundamentals, and the limits of last-click attribution.
  • Experience in one of the following environments: (a) a platform creator-monetization or partnerships team, (b) a measurement / incrementality / MMM vendor, (c) an in-house or agency brand measurement team running creator or influencer programs.
  • Strong communication and data presentation skills to varied stakeholders.
  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Data Science, Statistics, Math, Computer Science, or related

Bonus points
  • Experience with cross-platform measurement - quantifying lift when the same campaign runs on YouTube and TikTok and Meta.
  • You've shipped a real geo-experiment or matched-market test in the wild and have opinions about why most of them are designed badly.
  • You've worked closely with creators or talent before and understand that the creative side of this work matters as much as the math.

The target total compensation ranges from $150,000 to 200,000, an employee equity plan grant, bonus, plus comprehensive benefits.

Benefits
  • Competitive Salary
  • Generous Medical (Blue Cross Blue Shield), Dental, Vision and company-paid Life Insurance
  • Company contributions to employee Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
  • 401k Plan with Safe Harbor company-matching
  • Flexible vacation policy and paid company holidays
  • Company-provided technology package
  • Relocation assistance where applicable, including travel and company-provided housing for the first 90 days
