Moloco Senior Data Scientist, Growth Analytics at Moloco bridging advertiser objectives and product technical direction. Drive activation of Moloco products with top advertisers and synthesize customer signals into product priorities.
Responsibilities
Growth Data Science (GDS) is Moloco's global team of data scientists who partner with advertisers, sales, product, and engineering teams to maximize the effectiveness of Moloco Ads. As a Senior Data Scientist, you will hold one of the most cross-functional, high-visibility roles in the team - serving as the primary bridge between the commercial objectives of our advertisers and the technical direction of the Moloco Ads product.
This is a newly created role designed to fill a critical gap: the need for a senior, technically strong, DS who can both drive performant activation of Moloco products with our largest advertisers and synthesize customer signals into product priorities. A key component of this scope will be operating globally across GDS - creating the frameworks, playbooks, and product feedback loops that the broader team can scale.
The Impact You'll Have
Strategic Advertiser Engagement
Partner directly with Moloco’s top tier of advertisers to ensure they are extracting maximum value from the Moloco product suite, advising on campaign structure, measurement, bidding strategy, and optimization levers.
Translate account insights into product roadmap signals - feeding structured product and GTM feedback upwards
Set the standard for GDS advertiser engagement as a model others learn from
Product Strategy & Roadmap Influence
Build and scale activation frameworks that regional GDS teams can run across their books - moving the team from ad hoc activation to a repeatable, scalable model.
Serve as a senior technical voice from GDS in product conversations - bringing the depth of advertiser insight and analytical rigor needed to influence roadmap decisions at the highest level.
Systematically collect, synthesize, and communicate customer feedback and market signals to product and engineering, ensuring the Moloco roadmap is grounded in real advertiser needs.
Partner with product DS and engineering teams to define success metrics, design experiments, and evaluate new product features before and after launch.
