Data Scientist

Role Overview

-----------------

The Data Scientist will own the measurement science behind Audiohook's performance audio advertising platform. You'll design and run incrementality tests, build and maintain marketing mix models, and apply causal analysis to quantify how Audiohook drives outcomes for advertisers. This role combines hands-on modeling with the opportunity to shape how we prove value to customers, sharpen our bidding and optimization systems, and influence product direction. You'll collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure measurement isn't just statistically sound but operationally useful.

Key Responsibilities

------------------------

### Marketing Measurement & Causal Inference

• Design and run incrementality experiments (geo, ghost bidding, holdout, PSA) that quantify Audiohook's lift for advertisers
• Build, maintain, and evolve marketing mix models (MMM) and multi-touch attribution analyses across customer campaigns
• Apply causal inference methods — difference-in-differences, synthetic controls, instrumental variables, propensity scoring — to questions that can't be answered with RCTs
• Translate measurement results into clear narratives for advertisers, internal stakeholders, and the product team

### Modeling & Analysis

• Partner with Engineering on the data and modeling layer that powers bidding, pacing, and optimization decisions
• Develop and validate predictive models that improve campaign performance and platform efficiency
• Instrument experiments and analyses for reproducibility, monitoring, and ongoing measurement quality

### Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Sales and Customer Success on measurement studies for priority accounts and renewals
• Partner with Product on roadmap inputs grounded in causal evidence, not just descriptive data
• Present findings to advertisers, internal teams, and leadership in clear, decision-ready formats
• Commu
