Role
Who you are
- We seek team players who excel at cross-team collaboration, use data to shape strategy, and deliver solutions effectively within cross-functional teams
- You understand that data product development is the practice of a continuous lifecycle of measurement, analysis, modeling, and hypothesis testing
- You understand how to build, test, and deliver internal facing predictive tools
- You understand how to effectively design and assess experiments for a variety of user facing experiences
- 6+ years of professional experience in data science, with proficiency in SQL, at least one scripting language, statistical modeling, and engineering scalable experimentation solutions
- Expert level experiment design and assessment skills
- You have direct experience building production grade tooling for operational use by teams of internal decision makers. You know how to drive marketing and product strategy with experimental and observational data and build the tools that can implement it at the tactical level
- You’ve worked with engineering teams to design optimal feedback signals between applications and ad networks or build experimentation platforms
- You are a team player with a proven ability to collaborate across teams and communicate technical insights effectively, driving alignment with marketing strategy and operations
- You care about products, not publications. Solving business problems is your primary goal. We love recovering academics that aren’t looking in the rearview
- You care just as much about why you're solving a problem as the solution. You always want a deep understanding of context and business impact. You are a data scientist first but an expert analyst when necessary
- Excellent writing, presentation, and communication skills. Documenting, soliciting feedback, and securing alignment among collaborators is second nature
- Deep experience in several of the following in a professional capacity: customer segmentation, customer lifetime value modeling, A/B testing and causal inference, media mix modeling
- Experience in fintech, banking, or finance is a plus
What the job involves
- Data Scientists at Rocket Money advance our mission by building internal and external products that strengthen customer relationships across our financial offerings

- Data Scientists also enhance growth operations through ML-powered personalization during onboarding, modeling customer lifetime value, and estimating the relationship between marketing operations and user acquisition outcomes

- Rocket Money is looking for a Senior Data Scientist to drive marketing efficiency, attribution, and experimentation efforts through the use of tools like customer lifetime value modeling, media mix attribution modeling, and causal impact assessments of marketing strategies
- This role will also lead product scientific experimentation program efforts, including building tooling and processes for self-service product and CRM experimentation
- Lead internal marketing effectiveness measurement and estimation approaches
- Be responsible for leading projects from start to finish — making key decisions on both implementation and scope while balancing technical and business goals and working stakeholders to implement operational change
- Design and conduct experiments to estimate the impact of marketing and product strategies
- Create scale by leading a systematic marketing and product experimentation program
- Contribute to product experimentation via expert level experimental design, assessment, and collaboration with product managers
- Work with data engineering and analytics teams to build scalable and durable machine learning to data analytics pipelines that enable marketing and product experimentation operations
- Optimize to continuous product feedback loops
- Maintain a high technical bar by mentoring other members, participating in code reviews, and ensuring quality in production systems
- Level up others around you via effective technical mentoring
- Work with engineering teams to design and architect predictive feedback mechanisms for digital ad networks and add new features to our in-house experimentation engine
- Be on the cusp of new developments in marketing data science tech and drive operational changes in marketing that are cutting edge
- Create scalable approaches and tooling that allow others on the data team to undertake product experimentation without your direct input
- In this role, you will focus on the following types of problems:
- Collaborate closely with Product, Marketing, and Engineering teams to define marketing measurement and optimization strategy and build internal predictive tools
- Build the next generation of Rocket Money’s customer lifetime value models and integrate into the operational decision making and optimization of our marketing portfolio
- Level up our product experimentation program
- Rigorously design experiments to assess the effectiveness of product experiences
- Reassess baseline approaches and strategies
- Create tooling to enable self-service experimentation by teams of data analysts

Our take
Managing finances has become increasingly difficult in the last couple of decades, despite access to online banking and other financial apps. The mass of subscriptions, standing orders and utility bills the average American is subject to ultimately makes it difficult to assess and manage their finances within one place.
Rocket Money (formerly Truebill) provides a mobile application that includes a variety of tools that aim to simplify financial management. Tools include an automatic subscription tracker which aims to increase transparency and simplicity for canceling unwanted subscriptions, in addition to monthly spending analytics and budgeting plans.
Whilst there seems to be an app for just about every form of financial management, Rocket Money has taken much-needed action by unifying everything into a single app. The company initially focused on financial management tools, it's now branched out to more direct financial tools such as utility bill comparison services, autopilot saving and paycheck advance loans.
