Data Scientist, Growth Marketing

  • Full-time

Company Description

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

Job Description

Growth and Retention Marketing provides platform services like notifications to power product functionality, operations, analytics and targeting tools to grow and retain customer bases, and automation / optimization of these activities through data science and machine learning.

You will:

  • Leverage descriptive and predictive analytics to understand the impact of Square-owned growth and retention channels
  • Partner with Platform team members to make data-driven decisions across the organization
  • Partner with Square’s product marketing teams to guide the design and implementation of Square’s scaled cross-sell and engagement strategies
  • Apply a diverse set of tactics including statistics, quantitative reasoning, and machine learning to produce applicable insights
  • Create campaign targeting strategies, design experiments and publish results.

  • 3+ years of analytics experience or equivalent
