We're completely remote friendly.\nTeam Description:\nThe Marketing Science team at Reddit leverages data to maximize the impact of Reddit’s own marketing investments. We serve as the engine behind our growth, using advanced experimentation, causal inference, and econometrics to understand what drives users to Reddit and what brings advertisers to our platform. We work at the intersection of brand building and performance marketing, ensuring every dollar spent is an investment in the long-term health of our ecosystem.\nRole Description:\nReddit is looking for a highly experienced Staff Data Scientist to lead the strategy and technical execution of our Marketing Intelligence efforts. In this role, you will be the primary architect of how we measure and optimize Reddit’s marketing spend.

Develop methodologies to measure the long-term \"halo effect\" of brand marketing on organic growth.\nLead Through Influence: Collaborate deeply with Marketing, Growth, and Finance to translate complex data insights into actionable budget shifts. \nBe the Technical Guide for the Team: Mentor junior scientists and set the technical bar for code quality and statistical rigor across the Marketing organization.\nMinimum Qualifications:\n Education: Advanced degree (Master’s or Ph.D.) in Statistics, Economics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.\nExperience:\nFor M.S. holders: 10+ years of industry experience in marketing science, growth data science, or econometrics.\nFor Ph.D. holders: 6+ years of industry experience.\n Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of the marketing ecosystem, including hands-on experience with Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM), Incrementality Testing, and Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) prediction.\n Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Python or R and SQL. Experience building production-grade data pipelines and using machine learning for predictive modeling (e.g., churn prediction, lead scoring).\nStrategic Communication: Proven track record of influencing C-suite stakeholders and \"translating\" complex statistical concepts into business strategy.\nAdaptability: Experience working in fast-paced environments where you must navigate ambiguity and build frameworks from the ground up.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience with Bayesian structural time series or causal inference libraries.\nPrevious experience in a high-growth marketplace or social media platform.\nA passion for the Reddit community and an understanding of our unique \"Ads-as-Content\" philosophy.\nBenefits:\nComprehensive Healthcare Benefits and Income Replacement Programs\n401k with Employer Match\nGlobal Benefit programs that fit your lifestyle, from workspace to professional development to caregiving support\nFamily Planning Support\nGender-Affirming Care\nMental Health & Coaching Benefits\nFlexible Vacation & Paid Volunteer Time Off\nGenerous Paid Parental Leave \nPay Transparency:\nThis job posting may span more than one career level.\nIn addition to base salary, this job is eligible to receive equity in the form of restricted stock units, and depending on the position offered, it may also be eligible to receive a commission.
