We're looking for a Data Science Manager to lead our growing AI product data science function. This is a foundational role focused on building and managing a small team of data scientists working on customer-facing features powered by machine learning and LLMs. You'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Platform teams to deliver fast-moving experiments, shape the roadmap for AI innovation, and lay the foundation for scalable, production-ready AI systems.

You'll play a central role in shaping how AI shows up in our product and how the team behind it grows.

• Own Data Science prioritization for AI / ML outcomes, allocate resources and manage workload
• Drive execution of AI / ML projects by tracking progress, aligning timelines with stakeholders, and ensuring timely, high-quality delivery
• Assess and mitigate risks to delivery, owning accountability for downstream business impacts
• Promote high-quality experimentation, modeling, and evaluation standards, with an emphasis on reliability and product value
