About the role

No other team at Life360 touches every product decision, every experiment, and every revenue lever.
Data & Analytics is a 60+ person organization spanning data engineering, analytics engineering, data science, and ML.
People who shape what gets built, how we grow, and where we invest.

Own the analytical narrative for your Operating Group (OG).
Be the strategic thought partner across cross-functional teams (PMs, engineers, marketing, finance).
Work backward from how users experience the product to develop and implement the measurement frameworks for your OG, in a complex ecosystem with multi-user engagement and many ways to interact with the product.
Build explanations on top of measurement, always grounding analysis in the reality that users are people with motivations and context the data alone won't tell you.
Shape the AI-native analytics stack. Lead evaluation and adoption of new tools, agent workflows, and practices that enable self-serve across the OG and move the team from reactive to proactive to autonomous.

You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance.

Your primary tools are statistical inference, clear thinking, and the judgment to know which question matters most.

For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $148,000 to $218,500 USD.

The compensation package includes a wide range of medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits, as well as equity.

We're building it to be AI-native, where automation handles the volume so our people can focus on understanding why users behave the way they do, establishing what actually causes what, and turning those findings into action.
About the Job
We're hiring a Staff Decision Scientist to be strategic partners embedded with product, engineering, marketing, and finance teams.
You'll own the analytical narrative for your area and deliver insights that directly change roadmaps and resource allocation.
The output is decisions, not dashboards.
You'll also help make the AI-native organization a reality, shaping the tools and workflows that let automation take on more so the team can go deeper.
This is not a production ML role (we have a dedicated Data Science / MLE team for that).
You'll report into the Data & Analytics leadership team and work alongside data engineers, data scientists, and ML engineers.
For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $148,000 to $218,500 USD.
For candidates based out of Canada, the salary range for this position is 164,000 to $193,500 CAD.
