Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is not only technically strong, but also proactive in uncovering opportunities, framing insights, and ensuring leaders have the context they need to make the right calls
- 4+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or related fields, with a track record of delivering measurable business impact
- Advanced proficiency in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels and all other common data science packages) and SQL; experience with modern data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery)
- Strong foundation in experimental design, causal inference, and statistical methods
- Practical understanding of ML modeling trade-offs: when to deploy advanced models vs. when a well-structured analysis is the right tool
- Understands the spirit of George Box’s reminder that “all models are wrong, but some are useful” and applies that judgment to build solutions that balance sophistication with pragmatism
- Exceptional communication skills, displaying the ability to frame technical findings in a way that resonates with stakeholders
- Experience in DBT is a plus, but not required
- Experience on a Product growth team, where experimentation and opportunity identification were key aspects of the role, is a plus
- Strong applied experience in data science is essential; a Master’s or PhD in a quantitative field is a plus
What the job involves

- This is a senior individual contributor role with broad scope across product insights, experimentation, modeling and applied analytics
- We are looking for this individual to bring analytical thought leadership as we continue to rapidly grow and iterate on our product offerings across Talkiatry
- You’ll own projects that range from producing growth and performance analyses that guide strategic and product decisions, to designing and evaluating experiments, to building predictive models, and to improving patient engagement and clinical efficiency
- You’ll be expected to communicate insights proactively, frame results in business terms, and work closely with your core cross-functional teammates (Product, Engineering and Design) as well as stakeholders across Operations, Clinical, and Finance
- Identify growth opportunities for the Product teams by analyzing data and understanding patient behaviors
- Help Product teams maximize impact, by working wtih PMs and engineers to understand costs and constraints, while looking at underlying data and making reasonable assumptions to size opportunities
- Identify risks by exploring data and monitoring trends to understand the impact of emerging issues before they become problems
- Frame analyses and estimates in terms of “so what” for the practice to ensure findings don’t just inform, but influence the team
- Develop regular deliverables that turn historical data into forward looking guidance for product and operational teams
- Anticipate questions our teams should be asking and bring forward insights before they’re requested
- Build, evaluate, and productionalize models to forecast outcomes such as patient retention, no shows, demand patterns, and more
- Balance technical sophistication with pragmatic application, recognizing when simpler analyses can achieve the same business impact
- Partner with Product and Operations teams to design experiments, define success metrics, and implement robust statistical evaluation frameworks
- Ensure appropriate statistical power, so results are both valid and actionable
- Analyze experiment results and establish clear post experiment communication, ensuring learnings (positive or negative) are codified and inform future product or operational decisions
- Lead analyses on patient growth, clinician utilization, marketplace dynamics and more to surface actionable insights to leadership
- Translate adhoc analyses into repeatable frameworks and scalable reporting so insights don’t stay one-off, but become institutional knowledge
- Collaborate with Data Engineering and BI teams to define requirements and highlight gaps, so that data pipelines reliably support advanced analytics and modeling
- Act as a thought partner to Operations, Clinical, and Finance leaders, not just answering questions, but shaping the questions we should be asking
Our take
Awareness of the importance of mental health is growing worldwide, with many people seeking psychiatry to improve their mental wellness and quality of life. However, psychiatrist waiting lists and a "one size fits all" approach to mental health often prevent people from receiving the support that they need.
Talkiatry provides a personalized mental health marketplace, matching users with in-house psychiatrists based on preliminary assessment answers. Whilst the company inevitably faces competition from other online psychiatry marketplaces, Talkiatry shows the potential to stand out through its personalized, flexible, and insurance-first approach.
Healthtech is growing in strength, and with various partnerships and substantial funding to its name, Talkiatry is poised for future success. As the company continues to innovate and scale, the future looks bright for this company in the evolving healthcare landscape.
