To shape both the future of work, and the future of productivity tools.
Role
Who you are
- Ideally you have experience working on ranking, two-sided marketplaces, or creator monetization in previous roles
- You have spent meaningful time as a data scientist partnering with product, engineering and ideally with growth teams. You can draw on that experience to identify where data can have the most impact and clearly communicate to your partner teams what that impact is
- You have expertise in SQL and at least one scripting language (ideally Python or R)
- You know how to use statistical inference and experimentation to drive actionable recommendations
- You have experience building predictive models, and you know how to evaluate their effectiveness
- You are comfortable transforming raw data to build your own data sets if the measure you need doesn't exist yet
What the job involves
- As an early member of the growth data science team, you'll be instrumental in setting the roadmap for how these teams work together and then doing the hands-on work to execute against it
- You will apply your expertise in statistical inference, data mining, and the presentation of data to see beyond the numbers and understand how our users interact with Notion
- You will dive into ambiguous areas, define problems and opportunities for the team to work on the next influential project
- You'll design the right set of experiments or analyses to evaluate the success of new features
- You'll partner closely with a product, engineering, and marketing pillar at every step of the development process, driving forward data science and analytics work in that area
- You'll work with your teams to determine both north star and operational metrics, and build and maintain the dashboards that those teams rely on for monitoring progress and making key decisions
- You'll influence your product roadmap by communicating your findings with the rest of the company, and driving and verifying change in our product and business. (Insights are useful. Impact is even better!)
Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Managing busy workflows using fragmented systems can be a headache for both individuals and businesses. Notion aims to combat this problem by enabling users to work from one central hub, customizing their workflows to suit their exact needs. This includes managing files, scheduling tasks, saving documents, writing to-do-lists, and setting reminders.
The company counts enterprise companies such as McDonald’s, The Wall Street Journal, Verizon, Samsung, and IBM as its customers. In spite of economic uncertainty, Notion reached a $2 billion valuation in 2020, helped by record signups as more people were forced to work from home. Its value has since risen to over 5 times this value, an impressive reflection of its success.
The company has made a number of strategic acquisitions that, coupled with its enormous market value and enviable customer list, have Notion well-placed to continue dominating the market. That being said, the launch of Microsoft-built competitor Loop at the end of 2023 will put Notion's market dominance to the test.
