Role
Who you are
- You might know this role as "product analyst," "decision scientist," or "analytics engineer" depending on where you've worked — titles vary wildly across the industry and we care about what you actually do, not what your last company called it.
- If you've owned metrics end-to-end, designed experiments, and turned ambiguous questions into clear recommendations that shipped product changes, you're who we're looking for
- You've done this before: 2–6+ years in a quantitative role where you owned business-critical metrics or initiatives. (We're hiring across levels; we'll figure out the right fit together.)
- You use AI tools proactively and hold AI-assisted work to the same bar as your own
- You think in hypotheses: You can take a vague question, frame it as something testable, wrangle the right data, isolate insights, and communicate actionable recommendations to stakeholders who aren't data people
- You're a strong storyteller: You know how to make a compelling, concise case for action
- You're technically sharp: Advanced SQL is table stakes. Familiarity with modern data stacks (Snowflake, dbt, ELT workflows) and visualization tools (Hex, Sigma, Amplitude, Looker) is a plus. Python/R for statistical analysis is valued but not required
- You have product sense: You think about the member experience, not just the numbers
- You're curious about how things work. Algorithms, hardware, health science — you don't need to be an expert, but you should want to understand
- You're a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and doesn't wait to be told what to work on
- Interested in the role, but don’t meet every qualification? We encourage you to still apply!
What the job involves
- WHOOP is hiring Data Scientists to embed across the product organization and drive decisions through rigorous measurement, experimentation, and causal inference
- You'll partner with product teams across Healthcare, Algorithms, AI, Hardware, and other product areas to design experiments, build measurement frameworks, model user behavior, and translate complex analyses into clear recommendations that improve the member experience
- You'll bring statistical rigor, product intuition, and intellectual curiosity to help teams make faster, smarter, and more impactful decisions
- Design and analyze experiments (A/B tests, quasi-experiments, causal inference methods) to measure the impact of product changes on member outcomes
- Build measurement frameworks and KPIs that quantify product success and surface opportunities for improvement
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Research, Design, and cross-functional leadership to inform strategy and roadmap decisions with data
- Develop behavioral models and analyses that deepen our understanding of how members engage with WHOOP across their lifecycle
- Build scalable, self-serve reporting and tooling that lets your stakeholders make decisions without waiting on you
- Proactively surface insights and recommendations that go beyond the ask — identify opportunities others haven't seen yet
- Develop deep context on your product domain and use it to ask sharper questions, challenge assumptions, and push the product forward
Our take
WHOOP develops wearable health-tracking devices designed to help athletes optimise their performance. Its technology continuously monitors recovery, sleep, and training hours to fine-tune both individual and team performance. Unlike competitors that primarily track exercise data, WHOOP's holistic approach includes metrics like heart rate variability, which can influence more effective and healthier exercise routines.
By focusing on a subscription model that includes the cost of the physical device, WHOOP differentiates itself from competitors that charge a higher one-time fee for their products. This model provides ongoing value and encourages users to stay engaged with their health data.
WHOOP's comprehensive monitoring of strain and recovery has given it a competitive edge, even as other brands like Fitbit have incorporated similar features. Beyond sports performance, WHOOP has conducted extensive research on predicting premature births, aiming to integrate these findings into their app. This commitment to broader health applications demonstrates WHOOP's dedication to advancing wearable health technology.
