Senior Data Scientist

Join Givelify as an early, foundational member of the Data Science & Insights team, where you will shape experimentation-first analytics and modeling that directly informs product and business decisions. You will work on the kinds of challenges many data teams never face, translating complex signals into rigorous, decision-ready insight for executives and cross-functional stakeholders. This role is remote and reports to the Head of Data Science & Insights.

What you’ll deliver

• Own the development of org-wide business dashboards that provide transparent, reliable visibility into company performance, functional health, and execution velocity.
• Partner cross-functionally to define, instrument, and maintain metrics so the right measures are tracked consistently and with trustworthiness.
• Design and execute rigorous A/B and multivariate experiments with Product and cross-functional teams to establish causation before solutions launch.
• Raise the bar on experimentation by tackling hard methodological problems, including measuring impact of experience-driven features, managing concurrent experiments, and building approaches that make rigorous testing possible even when it has historically been difficult.
• Build predictive and behavioral models to deepen understanding of donor and organizational behavior, including segmentation, churn, propensity, and more.
• Translate complex findings into clear, decision-ready recommendations for executive and stakeholder audiences.
