About your role: We're seeking a Senior Data Scientist to be an early and foundational member of a growing Data Science & Insights team — with a focus spanning product and business analytics at Givelify. Reporting to the Head of Data Science & Insights, you will work across the full analytics stack — dashboards, metrics, experimentation, and modeling — with an immediate focus on building the business intelligence infrastructure that gives Givelify transparent, reliable visibility into how the organization is performing. This is a generalist senior individual contributor role by design. As the team grows and specialization becomes possible, your focus will evolve with it. For now, breadth is the asset — you are someone who can move fluidly across problem types and deliver rigorously wherever you land.
Senior Data Scientist will get to:
- Own the development of org-wide business dashboards that provide transparent, reliable insight into company performance, functional health, and execution velocity.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to define, instrument, and maintain the metrics that matter.
- Partner with Product and cross-functional teams to design and execute rigorous A/B and multivariate experiments.
- Work alongside the Data Science & Insights team to continuously raise the bar on experimentation at Givelify.
- Build predictive and behavioral models that deepen understanding of donor and organizational behavior.
- Translate complex analytical findings into clear, decision-ready recommendations for executives and cross-functional stakeholders.
To be successful in this role, you'll also:
- Own your outcomes completely — you hold yourself accountable for scoping, delivery, and impact.
- Proactively surface opportunities to bring experimentation and causal rigor to decisions across the organization.
- Bring stakeholders into the analytical process early and continuously.
- Lead with expertise and invest in others.
Your experience:
- 5-8+ years of experience in data science, business intelligence, applied statistics, or advanced analytics.
- Master's or Ph.D. in Statistics, Data Science, Operations Research, Mathematics, Econometrics, or a related quantitative field.
- Strong track record building business dashboards and insight systems.
- Solid experience with experimental design and causal inference.
- Strong background in predictive and behavioral modeling.
- Expert in SQL; advanced proficiency in Python and/or R.
- Hands-on experience with modern data stacks, Databricks preferred.
- Comfortable working across problem types.
- Practical fluency using AI/LLM tools to accelerate analytical work.
Your superpowers:
- You influence through evidence and storytelling.
- You translate ambiguity into clarity.
- You are data-informed, not data-driven.
- You are a custodian and evangelist of causal rigor.
- You are a player-coach.
- You are energized by being early.
- You are comfortable with a shifting focus.
