Our four products - Scribd®, Slideshare®, Everand™, and Fable - help billions of people across the globe move beyond access and into insight, application, and expertise.\nCulture at Scribd, Inc.\nWe support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.\nWe believe the best work happens when individual flexibility is balanced with meaningful community connection. Scribd Flex empowers employees to choose the workstyle and location that support their best performance, while committing to intentional in-person moments that strengthen collaboration and culture. Occasional in-person attendance is required for all Scribd, Inc. employees, regardless of location.\nSo what are we looking for in new team members? At Scribd, Inc., we hire for “GRIT.” Traditionally defined as the intersection of passion and perseverance toward long-term goals, GRIT reflects the mindset we expect from every employee. For us, it also serves as a practical framework for how we work: setting and achieving Goals, delivering Results within your role, contributing Innovative ideas and solutions, and strengthening the broader Team through collaboration and attitude.\nThis posting reflects an approved, open position within the organization.\nThe team. Data & Analytics at Scribd brings together Analytics Engineering, Data Science, and Product Analytics to turn fragmented data and inconsistent definitions into trusted foundations, and to build AI-assisted tools that bring reliable intelligence into how teams make decisions.\nThe role. This role supports Content Supply & Understanding, the team that owns Scribd’s library of more than 400 million documents, which reaches over 250 million monthly active users. The team’s remit covers who contributes the content, how well we understand it, and how it reaches users. You will report to the Senior Manager, Data Analytics, and work embedded alongside Product, Engineering, Machine Learning, Data Science, and Analytics Engineering partners. The role is open at the Senior and Lead levels, and we will level based on the experience you bring. At the Senior level you own analytical workstreams within a defined area. At the Lead level you also set the measurement strategy for the area, take on the most open-ended problems, and raise the bar for the analysts around you.\nMandate. Make it possible to say with confidence what is in the corpus, where it falls short of what users look for, and whether enrichment is making content easier to find and use, with numbers that stay comparable as content sources, models, and pipelines change.\nCore philosophy. A metric definition is a shared artifact. We care about documentation, versioning, and data quality as much as the readout on top, because a number that quietly breaks upstream is worse than no number at all.\nAbout you\nYou are at your best when the question is not yet well formed. You look at an incomplete picture, work out what matters, and produce an answer a product team can act on, with the limits of the evidence stated plainly.\n\nYou are equally comfortable as the strategist and the analyst. You can size an opportunity, model its return, write the SQL behind the metric, and defend the number in a room full of product and executive leaders.\n\nYou are skeptical by default. When a metric moves sharply, your instinct is to find the field or pipeline that changed before you write the narrative.\n\nYou are pragmatic. You ask what the right next version is, and you use AI where it creates measurable value.\n\nYou communicate early and plainly, and you write things down. Methodology and metric documentation are part of the deliverable.\n\nYou will\nBuild measurement for content understanding. Define how we measure classification and metadata coverage, accuracy, and the effect of enrichment on discovery and engagement.\n\nOwn analytics for content supply and generate insights on where the corpus falls short: size the gap between user demand and the corpus, estimate the value of closing it, and help prioritize where to invest, using the same market sizing, segmentation, and ROI methods applied in go-to-market analysis.\n\nPartner with Product Managers on strategy and roadmap. Translate product bets into success and guardrail metrics, size opportunities, and make trade-offs explicit.\n\nDesign and read experiments (A/B tests and other methods) for content-related product changes, from hypothesis through analysis and readout.\n\nDefine and maintain the KPIs, metric definitions, and dashboards for the content domain, and work with Analytics Engineering and Data Engineering on instrumentation and data quality so that metrics stay consistent over time.\n\nInvestigate discontinuities and anomalies in content data, and separate real changes in user behavior from pipeline, definition, or instrumentation changes.\n\nUse AI-assisted workflows to speed up analysis and reporting, document how results are validated, and keep AI tools grounded as definitions change.\n\nPresent findings and recommendations to product, engineering, and executive audiences, including in regular metrics reviews.\n\nAt the Lead level: set analytical standards for the area and mentor other analysts.\n\nYou have\n4+ years of experience in product analytics or a closely related role for Senior, or 7+ years for Lead, with a record of influencing product or business decisions.\n\nExperience turning ambiguous, loosely defined questions into analysis that changed a decision, in areas where data is sparse or metrics did not yet exist.\n\nExperience with opportunity sizing, segmentation, or business and go-to-market analysis, such as market sizing, pipeline prioritization, or ROI modeling.\n\nAdvanced SQL, and experience with Python or R for analysis and statistical work.\n\nExperience with a modern data warehouse such as Databricks, and with BI tools such as Looker or Tableau.\n\nExperience building AI into analytics workflows, such as LLM-assisted querying, analysis, or reporting, to move faster while checking answers against certified metrics or known results. You use AI where it creates measurable value.\n\nWorking knowledge of experimentation: A/B test design, hypothesis testing, and statistical analysis.\n\nA record of defining a metric, defending it under scrutiny, and revising it when its inputs change.\n\nExperience partnering with Product Managers and Engineers on strategy, roadmap, and measurement.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication, for both technical and non-technical audiences.\n\nBachelor’s degree in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, or Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.\n\nNice to have\nExperience with content-heavy platforms such as marketplaces, catalogs, publishing, or user-generated content, including supply or content quality analytics.\n\nExperience with classification, taxonomy, or metadata systems, or with search and recommendation, including evaluating ML or LLM outputs against labeled data.\n\nExperience with experimentation platforms such as Statsig.\n\nFor Lead candidates: experience mentoring analysts and setting measurement standards for a product area.\n\nAt Scribd, Inc., your base pay is one part of your total compensation package and is determined within a range.
