Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience in a quantitative role applying analytics, experimentation, and modeling in a product-focused environment, including leading high-impact, cross-functional data science or analytics initiatives
- Fluent in SQL and Python, with deep experience designing A/B tests, building models, and setting a high bar for translating complex data into clear recommendations for stakeholders at all levels
- Proven experience owning and driving product or growth decisions through deep user understanding, funnel analytics, or marketplace dynamics, and doing so through influence as well as hands-on work
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working cross-functionally in fast-moving environments where data science directly influences strategy, and aligning multiple teams around shared metrics and insights
- Excited about improving access to mental health care and motivated by building AI-enhanced experiences that support therapists and patients
- Research shows that some groups hesitate to apply unless they meet every qualification. If you’re excited about this role but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply. At Grow, we value diverse experiences, transferable skills, and the unique strengths each person brings
What the job involves
- Grow Therapy is seeking a Staff Data Scientist to deepen our understanding of our users and unlock the next era of our growth trajectory
- In this role, you will lead cross-functional, data-driven initiatives and drive insights that get more people successfully onboarded and retained in online therapy, shape how we build our mobile app and digital experiences, and lead the charge on how AI is used alongside therapy
- You will also develop and own marketing and attribution models that help us reach patients more effectively and empower our providers’ success. Your work will shape product strategy, experimentation, and long-term investment decisions across the company
- Lead experimentation and metric development to understand user behavior, optimize onboarding and retention, and guide product direction across web and mobile experiences
- Build predictive, attribution, and behavioral models that inform marketing strategy, therapist-matching workflows, and future AI-powered features
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and Operations to identify opportunities, quantify impact, and drive roadmap decisions with clear, actionable insights
- Develop dashboards, analytical frameworks, and self-serve tools that scale data access and empower teams to answer their own product questions
- Shape Grow Therapy’s AI strategy by designing evaluation frameworks, running model-level experiments, and identifying where AI can improve the patient and provider experience
Our take
Mental health issues affect about 20% of Americans, so there’s an immense need for qualified mental healthcare in the US. However the vast majority of therapists don’t accept insurance due to the prohibitive administrative workload involved. This leaves therapy out of reach for many Americans. So it’s no surprise that the Grow Therapy platform has seen skyrocketing popularity since it was founded in 2020.
Grow Therapy helps therapists open their own in-network practices, providing the technology, support, and resources to tackle the extra operational workload that would allow them to take insurance. It’s live across a number of states, and works in partnership with all the major insurance payers including Humana, Aetna and Cigna.
The company is competing with larger rivals like Alma and Quartet Health, but this should be a big enough market for several major participants. Grow has secured good funding that supported the launch of its enhanced measurement-informed care system, which will help improve the care experience for clients and providers and make value-based behavioral care accessible for more patients.
