About the role
- you'll be a trusted analytics leader who sales executives turn to for the ground truth on business performance, and a hands-on data scientist who solves big, ambiguous problems end to end.
- This is a DS team on the front lines of AI, one that uses agents daily to clear away the mundane and free up time for the high-impact, technically challenging work that moves the business forward.
- Square's Sales organization is where we're placing our biggest bets, and the go-to-market (GTM) Data Science team sits at the heart of that growth engine.
Responsibilities
- there's no shortage of hard problems, plenty of sharp colleagues to learn from, and the leverage to scale your impact well beyond your own domain.
- Lead investigations into performance questions ("why is X down?", "how can we improve Y?"), decomposing KPIs from first principles and designing experiments to test what actually works
- Own and evolve your subdomain's data foundation, and partner with Sales DS peers on shared metrics, attribution logic, and cross-cutting analyses
- Enthusiasm for building with AI, and curiosity about how far it can be pushed in data science work
- Curiosity about unfamiliar data and how sales organizations actually work, and the empathy to partner well with the people on the frontline
- Reporting to the Sales Data Science lead, you'll own a mature subdomain of our Sales function and contribute across the full channel, alongside peers in Sales Data Science (DS) and the wider GTM Data Science org.
- You'll grow here: there's no shortage of hard problems, plenty of sharp colleagues to learn from, and the leverage to scale your impact well beyond your own domain.
- Own performance measurement for your subdomain: monitoring the metrics that matter (wins, new revenue, funnel conversion, rep productivity), reporting against plan, and presenting the story in business reviews with sales leadership
- Build self-serve dashboards and datasets that let the sales org answer its own questions
- Block, Inc. (NYSE: XYZ) builds technology to increase access to the global economy.
