About the role

As a Staff Data Scientist, Product Analytics, you will be a senior technical and strategic leader for how Headway measures, learns, and improves.

Responsibilities

Own a product measurement strategy. Define north star and input metrics for a major product area (or multiple surfaces), align stakeholders on definitions, and build conviction in what "good" looks like.
Lead multi-team initiatives. Drive cross-functional work where the right answer is not obvious and the path is not linear, and ensure we land measurable outcomes.
Set the experimentation standard. Establish frameworks for test design, guardrails, decision rules, and interpretation that improve both speed and rigor across teams.
Develop evaluation systems for complex products. For areas like matching, ranking, or applied AI experiences, build measurement approaches that combine offline evaluation, online experiments, and human-quality signals when needed.
Build scalable analytical assets. Invest in durable measurement systems: semantic definitions, self-serve dashboards, monitoring and alerts, and repeatable templates that reduce ad hoc work.
Mentor and uplevel. Coach other data scientists and analytics partners, provide strong technical review, and model what great looks like.
Be a thought leader. Proactively identify opportunities, shape roadmaps with an evidence-based POV, and create clarity where teams feel stuck.
10+ years using data to drive product or business decisions in product, growth, engineering, or operations environments (or equivalent depth of experience and scope).
Deep expertise in Bayesian experimentation, causal inference, and measurement design, including common failure modes and how to prevent them.

Requirements

Expert fluency in SQL and strong proficiency in Python or R, including building reliable, reusable analysis workflows.
