About the RoleWe're looking for a Data Scientist to partner closely with Product Management on an upcoming product initiative. This is a hands-on role designed for someone who can identify the right problems to solve, execute rigorous analysis end-to-end, and translate insights into clear product decisions.
You will operate in an early-stage product environment where ambiguity is high, metrics are evolving, and early decisions have an outsized impact on product adoption, active usage, and future monetization opportunities.
What You Will Do- Own the Growth & Commercial Architecture: Architect and define key commercial metrics, funnels, and leading indicators across user acquisition, activation, conversion, retention, and revenue performance.
- Drive Monetization & Pricing Strategy: Partner with leadership to support subscription monetization, packaging, and pricing decisions by building structured evaluation frameworks and clear, data-backed recommendations.
- Lead Growth & Marketing Experimentation: Design, execute, and validate marketing campaigns, growth initiatives, and product-led growth (PLG) experiments, ensuring strict statistical rigor (A/B testing, cohort modeling).
- Proactive Funnel Diagnostics: Act as the detective for our revenue engine. You will hunt down the root causes behind metric anomalies, conversion fluctuations, or performance dips, translating raw data into executive-ready narratives and decision memos.
- Scale Self-Serve Data Products: Build automated dashboards and robust business review materials that give Go-To-Market (GTM) teams and executives trusted, crystal-clear visibility into real-time performance.
- Align Global Analytics: Partner closely with cross-regional analytics stakeholders to lead methodology alignment, share localized context, and ensure global data consistency.
Minimum Qualifications- The Experience: 3-5+ years of experience in growth data science, commercial/revenue analytics, or product analytics within tech, B2B SaaS, or high-growth AI companies.
- Technical Foundation: Advanced SQL proficiency and deep experience with commercial analytics methods (funnel analysis, cohort analysis, lifetime value modeling, user segmentation). Strong hands-on experience building out modern BI reporting systems (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Metabase).
- Strategic Ownership: High ownership mindset with a proven ability to turn complex, multi-touch datasets into clear, actionable business strategies. You take pride in moving projects independently from data pull to executive pitch.
- Business Acumen: Strong commercial intuition. You understand sales funnels (e.g., renewal, expansion) and know how marketing channels interact with product conversion.
- Communication: Clear, compelling communication skills with the ability to bridge the gap between technical datasets and non-technical growth partners.
Preferred Qualifications- Direct experience supporting B2B monetization, packaging changes, or hardware-plus-software pricing strategy.
- Comfort using AI-assisted analytics tools or automation workflows to maximize analytical efficiency.
- A background working in fast-paced tech environments or early-stage products with rapidly evolving data infrastructure.
What we offer- Meaningful Ownership An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that gives a real stake in Plaud's long-term success.
- High-Impact Environment Work in a fast-moving, product-driven environment where your ideas directly shape the future of AI productivity.
- Comprehensive Health & Retirement Benefits Top-tier medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, supported by a generous employer subsidy, plus a 401(k) retirement plan with company matching for full-time employees.
- Time Off & Workplace Benefits Unlimited PTO, plus 13 paid holidays, 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents, a hybrid work model with a minimum of three in-office days per week, and access to high-quality office snacks, drinks, and equipment.
- Cutting-Edge AI Tools for Productivity Access to best-in-class AI tools, including Cursor, GPT models, Gemini, Claude, and other frontier AI systems to maximize engineering and execution efficiency.
- Best-in-Class Equipment Choice of top-spec laptops, high-performance workstation setups, and cutting-edge Plaud devices for all new hires.
- Team & Culture Annual company offsites, team events, and a culture that values craftsmanship, ownership, and velocity.
