Full Job Description


In this hybrid role, you will report to the Product Data Science Lead, Growth and Experience.

You will:
  • Connect marketing performance to real business outcomes by building ROI methodologies and efficiency guardrails that leadership can act on
  • Own optimization across the full acquisition picture - brand media, performance channels, promotions, and referrals - not just the parts with clean attribution
  • Design and run Waymo's incrementality measurement program, including geo-based holdout tests, switchback experiments, and media mix modeling across every acquisition channel
  • Build Waymo's LTV and CAC framework and use it to guide how marketing spend gets allocated
  • Be the data science partner marketing and product leans on for measurement and experimentation
  • Lead deep-dive analyses across geos, audiences, creatives, and channels to find the non-obvious growth levers nobody's looked for yet

You have:
  • At least 6 years of industry experience, with a strong focus on growth marketing, including time spent owning measurement strategy, not just executing it
  • A track record of working directly with marketing leadership as a trusted partner
  • Proficiency in SQL and Python or R for data manipulation, statistical modeling, and experiment analysis
  • Hands-on experience designing and analyzing incrementality experiments - geo holdout tests, switchback designs, or intent-to-treat analyses - in a consumer tech, marketplace, or rideshare context
  • Strong causal inference fundamentals - you know how to design studies that produce actionable, credible results

We prefer:
  • Time at a high-growth consumer tech, rideshare, or mobility company
  • Experience with media mix modeling (MMM) or multi-touch attribution (MTA) in addition to geo-based incrementality testing
  • Experience building LTV and CAC frameworks and using them to guide real spend decisions
  • Experience with mobile measurement partners (MMP)
  • Familiarity with paid media platforms and channel dynamics (SEM, paid social, programmatic)
