Senior Data Scientist, Product Analytics

Senior Data Scientist, Product Analytics

Our vision at Descript is to build the next-generation platform for fast and easy creation of audio and video content. We are trusted by some of the world's top podcasters and influencers, as well as businesses like BBC, ESPN, HubSpot, Shopify, and The Washington Post for communicating via video. We've raised $100M from leading investors such as the OpenAI Startup fund, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, and Spark Capital.

As an early member of the data science team, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our growth strategy, strengthening our data-informed decision making culture, and helping scale the business. You bring strong ownership, curiosity — all grounded in a can-do, growth mindset.

What You’ll Do

• Take ownership of user acquisition and activation through deep understanding of the space and strong thought partnership with Marketing and Product leads
• Proactively identify growth opportunities and influence growth strategy through in-depth analysis and actionable insights
• Define and own core success metrics, perform opportunity sizing, make sure teams are focused on the most impactful work, and hold a high bar for execution
• Evolve our data culture, set the best practices so the teams move fast and slow as needed while maximizing learning

What You Bring

The base salary range for this role is $170,000- $208,000 / year. Final offer amounts will carefully consider multiple factors, including prior experience, expertise, location, and may vary from the amount above.

Descript is the special company that's in possession of both product market fit and the raw materials (passionate user community, great product, large market) for growth, but is still early enough that each new employee has a measurable influence on the direction of the company.

Benefits include a generous healthcare package, catered lunches, and flexible vacation time. Our headquarters are located in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. We're looking to hire people who are local and able to join us at the office when needed. We're flexible, and you're an adult—we don't expect or mandate that you're in the office every day. But we do believe there are valuable and serendipitous moments of discovery and collaboration that come from working together in person.

Descript is an equal opportunity workplace—we are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. We believe in actively building a team rich in diverse backgrounds, experiences, and opinions to better allow our employees, products, and community to thrive.
