Justworks' mission is to help entrepreneurs and businesses grow with confidence.
Role
Who you are
- You're an experienced data scientist who gets excited about understanding how customers interact with a product – and using that understanding to help teams make smarter decisions
- You're a trusted data storyteller: you can write a tight SQL query, design a rigorous experiment, and then turn those findings into a narrative that moves a roadmap
- You believe that the best data science work accelerates learning, improves decision making, and ultimately drives measurable impact for customers and the business
- In the Data Scientist role, how results are achieved is paramount for your success and ultimately result in our success as an organization. In this role, your foundational knowledge, skills, abilities and personal attributes are anchored in the following competencies:
- Good judgment - the exercise of critical thinking, analyzing and assessing problems and implications, identifying patterns, making connections of underlying issues, understanding risks and developing mitigation strategies, and taking ownership of the outcome
- Teamwork and communication - putting our collective best together through documentation, collaboration, relationship-building, listening, empathy, recruiting, and evangelism
- Influence and leadership - fostering a community of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, mentorship, and forward-thinking. This includes helping product partners develop a more data-informed mindset, not just answering their questions
- Skills and knowledge - the capacity to actively learn and apply specific domain knowledge, know-how, and best practices to continually enhance and improve
- 7+ years of experience as a data scientist or analyst, with a track record of driving business impact through statistical analysis, experimentation, and predictive modeling
- Strong expertise in experimental design, causal inference, and statistical methods — you know how to draw defensible conclusions from imperfect data
- Excellent communication and data storytelling skills — you can translate complex findings into clear narratives that influence strategy and decisions at all levels of the organization
- Strong business acumen and the ability to connect analysis to product strategy, roadmap tradeoffs, and business outcomes
- Proficient in at least one statistical programming language (Python or R)
- Fluent in SQL
- Familiarity with a cloud-based data stack (e.g. Snowflake, dbt)
- Demonstrated curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a track record of applying them to accelerate analysis, improve rigor, or expand the reach of data science work
- Prior experience in a high-growth startup or SaaS company is preferred
What the job involves
- Justworks is looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Product Analytics group within the Data & Analytics team
- You'll partner across Product, Engineering, Design, Finance, Marketing, and Revenue to define success metrics, run experiments, size opportunities, and build a data-informed approach to how we grow and improve our product
- Lead end-to-end analytics projects, from defining metrics to analyzing data and delivering insights
- Partner with product leaders to define and measure goal metrics
- Design and analyze A/B tests, quasi-experiments, and causal analyses to measure the impact of product changes and help teams understand not just if something worked, but why
- Accelerate product learning cycles through frameworks for experimentation, measurement, and iteration so teams can move faster without sacrificing rigor
- Analyze strategic opportunities to inform roadmap prioritization
- Build compelling narratives from complex data, presenting findings in ways that influence decisions with both technical and non-technical audiences, from product pods to senior leadership
- Identify friction and opportunity across the customer lifecycle, from onboarding flows to feature adoption to retention signals, and translate what you find into actionable strategies
- Develop and apply AI-assisted approaches to analysis, insight delivery, and data workflows to multiply your impact and expand the reach of data science across the organization
- Partner with data engineering and analytics engineering to improve data foundations, instrument key events, and ensure the right data exists to answer the questions product teams are asking
- Perform other related responsibilities as needed based on department and/or organizational needs
Our take
Justworks operates in an increasingly crowded space of all-in-one business operation suites, that include tools like human resources, payroll, employee management, benefits, and others that businesses critically need to operate as they scale.
Globally, human resource management has become an extremely fertile field, worth over $20 billion annually and predicted to grow to over $50 billion annually by 2030 - creating great opportunity for Justworks to continue to grow. The company is regarded as a market leader, but does see competition in the shape of Paychex Flex, Rippling, Paylocity, and TriNet, among others.
Solutions delivered by Justworks have proven to be extremely popular with SMEs, and this has not gone unnoticed by investors, with the company picking up exceptional amounts of funding. Justworks is known to have sights on going public, though action towards this end has been delayed until global mass-market conditions have settled from a period of volatility. However, the company's 2024 acquisition of the international employment-of-record (EOR) company Via is a promising sign of it's continued strength.
