About The Role
They’re looking for a Sr Decision Scientist to join their Global Marketing team to provide data expertise as they build brand affinity, growth, retention, and engagement of the riders, eaters, and drivers/couriers on the Uber platform. The Sr. Decision Scientist is a specialist in the design and development of highly effective and highly measurable marketing programs. You will collaborate cross-functionally to influence the creation and development of global and regional initiatives that achieve business/marketing objectives, while being highly measurable—via studies that demonstrate causality as much as possible, with both brand (the upper funnel) and business (lower funnel) metrics.
The ideal candidate possesses a passion for the art and science of marketing; and for improving the analytical insights and technology used by marketing leaders to achieve their bold company goals. You will help address the sophisticated challenges of marketing effectiveness, return on investment, experimental design, contact strategy, consumer behavior, product design, and marketing channel effectiveness.
The Sr. Decision Scientist has strong management and leadership experience while being hands-on with statistical data analysis, experimental test design, data gathering/pipelines/manipulation, communication of results, and cross-functional partnership/influence. The Sr. Decision Scientist will bring experience with consumer marketing (online and off), A/B testing, sentiment measurement, and audience analysis in order to drive significant business impact.
As a member of the Marketing Data Science and Analytics organization, you will not only work with data but will help define the way marketing is crafted, measured, and improved. You’ll play a big part in finding opportunity fields to help the marketing function scale.
