Senior Data Scientist

Tracksuit exists to help marketers prove their brand building is working. We give teams the data they need to make smarter decisions, convince stakeholders, defend budgets, and track their progress. The brand tracking industry is dominated by 100-page reports, static data and big price-tags. We're doing things differently by being built for the modern marketer: always-on, accessible, and approachable.

We're now tracking more than 1,000 brands across 25 countries globally. With offices in Auckland, Sydney, London and New York City, we're scaling fast with a brilliant team of collaborative and ambitious humans. Our culture is defined by "high care, high performance". We strive to be the best and look after each other while we do it.

We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace - a place where we can each be ourselves and do the best work of our lives. At Tracksuit we consider a unique perspective, diverse experience and a growth mindset to be of greater value than ticking every box on an JD. If you think you have what it takes but don’t have the exact experience we’ve set out, please still get in touch and apply. We’d love to chat!

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Data Scientist to amplify the value of our data and help us become the common language to measure, understand and communicate the value of brand building.

Data is Tracksuit’s moat: it’s the core of our product and integral to everything we do. As a Senior Data Scientist, you’ll be joining our world-class data science team, working with engineers, product managers, and market research experts to design novel data products to lift the baseline for marketing measurement.

We think this role is exciting because:

• Innovation is the expectation: You’ll run experiments, dive deep into analysis, and design new algorithms and models to re-imagine marketing measurement from first principles. You’ll work closely with product teams to build the world’s best brand tracking platform.

• Your work will directly shape the company’s trajectory: You’ll be applying your data skills to solve problems at the heart of our business model, directly shaping our ability to scale and launch new products with measurable impacts.

• You’ll join a high-performing team: Too much of data science work is done in silos. At Tracksuit, you’ll join a team of smart, kind, and driven peers. Daily collaboration will sharpen your craft and transform how you think, build, and operate.

• We don’t have a roadmap dictated to us: you’ll have high-level business goals and outcomes, but it’s up to you to define the problems and solutions.

We’re looking for a Data Scientist with at least 4 years of experience that is:

• “Full Stack”: Deep understanding of statistics, including both frequentist and Bayesian approaches. Strong grasp of both machine learning and causal inference. Experience measuring and improving accuracy and reliability in complex systems. Fluent in SQL, scripting languages such as Python and R, and working with AI

• Experienced in research: Econometrics, biology, thermodynamics - you name it! We tackle problems like a research lab. You’ll thrive if you’ve had experience mastering a particular domain (we love Ph.D.s!) and contributing new peer-reviewed knowledge and methods to the world.

• Entrepreneurial and product-minded: You’re passionate about how your technical work drives business impact. Your expertise in data science enables you to design creative pragmatic solutions that strike unique trade-offs between statistics, engineering, and business outcomes. You love collaborating with customers, product managers, and designers because your work matters most when it generates real customer love.

• Kind: This is such a collaborative role that we ultimately want a great, collaborative and supportive team player.
