Title: Principal Data Scientist, Platform Monetization
We are hiring a Principal Data Scientist to lead the data efforts to form Slack monetization strategy and execution from the agentic platform point of view. The Platform ecosystem is a critical component of Slack's strategy to become the place where work happens. It enables users to truly customize Slack and integrate their everyday tools to streamline and speed up work. At the same time, this domain connects with corporate sales and business and strategic customer strategy and directly impacts the company's topline performance.
In this leadership role, you will work closely with the Platform product organization to understand and improve the product experience of app developers and users. As Slack builds out its next generation of Platform capabilities, you'll lead the efforts on unearthing insights and building a complete picture of what users build and how they engage with agents and with each other on the Slack platform. At the same time, you will partner closely with go-to-market (GTM) teams to answer Slack's highest-impact business questions.
What you'll be doing:
Establish strong partnership with product and business stakeholders in identifying opportunities, prioritize roadmaps, define and implement execution excellence, and coach and mentor team members for execution excellence
Apply statistical methods, experimentation, segmentation frameworks, and forecasting methodologies to understand customer behavior, GTM performance, and drivers of growth
Design measurement strategies and success metrics to evaluate products, programs, and strategic initiatives
Frame and deliver deep-dive analyses to identify opportunities for revenue & product growth, customer adoption, and smooth user journeys
Partner with Data Engineering to develop trusted datasets and scalable analytical foundations that enable advanced modeling and experimentation
Set a compelling vision and prioritize work based on product strategies and overall business goals
Partner closely with product researchers and business strategy partners, align roadmaps and collaborate on projects to influence topline decision making
What you should have:
7+ years of experience in product data science in related tech industries; 2+ years experience in a product DS tech lead or managerial role a strong plus
A consistent record of using data to drive product teams to achieve ambitious goals and influencing company-level outcomes
Advanced proficiency in SQL and at least one programming language for data science, such as Python, R, or Scala. Knowledge of workflow orchestration tools like Apache Airflow is highly desirable
Strong foundation in statistics, experimentation, causal inference, predictive modeling, and analytical problem solving
Experience working with large-scale data technologies such as Spark, Presto, Hive, Hadoop, or similar distributed data platforms
Proven ability to communicate complex analytical findings clearly to executive and cross-functional audiences
Experience partnering with Product, Sales, Finance, or other GTM organizations to influence strategic decisions
Even better if you have:
BS degree in a quantitative field (e.g. Computer Science, Economics, Physics); an advanced degree (MS, PhD) in a quantitative field (e.g. Computer Science, Economics, Physics, Maths) is a strong plus
