- Expertise in translating complex data into insights that are actionable for cross-functional teams
- Proficiency with data analytics tools and platforms (e.g., Looker, Amplitude) is a plus but not required. A focus on solving product challenges is more important than specific tool experience

- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly present data insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

- Expert-level proficiency in influencing product strategy with SQL, A/B testing, machine learning, statistical analysis, and related tools like R, Python, SAS, etc., is required
- Previous or current experience supporting SaaS (Product-Led Growth) companies with uncovering gaps and recalibrating activation metrics (e.g., aha/habit moments) is a huge plus
- Experience with Product Analytics tools to track end-to-end journeys/funnels (e.g., Amplitude, Heap, Mixpanel) and analyzing events within those products is essential
- Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment with a high level of adaptability and a strong product sense, ensuring insights align with customer needs and product goals
What the job involves
- We are seeking a highly analytical and impact-driven Senior Data Scientist to help shape our product strategy and decision-making through data. In this role, you will focus on optimizing existing products while also supporting early-stage product initiatives where relevant. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to drive product innovation and optimization through data-driven insights. This position requires a passion for transforming data into actionable insights and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
- Translate business needs into data analysis and actionable insights to optimize product performance and user experience for both existing and new products
- Work closely with product managers, engineers, and other cross-functional stakeholders to identify critical product questions and provide data-driven solutions
- Develop and maintain a scalable, reliable, and accurate analytics infrastructure to support product decisions

- Help foster a culture of data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement within the product teams

Our take
Apollo's sales intelligence and engagement platform integrates with companies’ existing internal tools, such as LinkedIn, Salesforce and Hubspot, to increase and optimize sales and marketing leads. Rather than simply employing a volume-heavy approach to leads, Apollo’s software allows users to focus on more convertible prospects, while automating task management and workflow.
The company launched in 2015 and grew steadily in its early years, but the period since 2021 has seen it enter a rapid scale up. Now its customer base includes the likes of Autodesk, Stripe, Docusign and Yelp.
Apollo now intends to keep the upward momentum going, having secured major funding in mid-2023 and is also investing heavily in India as its R&D center, where there’s a burgeoning pool of tech talent. In early 2023, Apollo reported record revenue numbers and appointed a new CPO, indicating a solidification of these aims.

Company values
- Be Customer Obsessed - We are obsessed with how to make our customers successful. Every decision we make should be in service of our customer’s success, as their success comes hand-in-hand with ours.

- Take Ownership - We acknowledge that this is OUR company. Nothing is ever “someone else’s problem”: if we see a gap, we are proactive in addressing it. We uphold excellence and are accountable to each other and to ourselves.
- Learn Voraciously - We are always curious, seeking out opportunities to learn and to better ourselves. We adopt a growth mindset and are motivated by the gaps we see in ourselves and our businesses.
- Move with Focus and Urgency - We identify the few things which will have the biggest impact, and move fast to achieve them.
- We are all for one - We win and lose as one team. We rally around people and invest in each others’ growth: whether it’s celebrating wins, lending a hand or giving constructive feedback.
