Data Scientist working with Wealthsimple's product teams to drive data-driven growth and insights. Collaborating across various functions to enhance the client experience through analytics and modeling.
Responsibilities
Be the dedicated data science partner to the Consolidation product team, owning the analytics and modeling that power product-led growth across onboarding, activation, and full consolidation.
Design and analyze rigorous product experiments across the client journey, from first funding through to full asset consolidation, using A/B testing, non-inferiority tests, and other causal inference methods to measure the impact of product changes on key growth metrics.
Partner with the team's Personalization DRIs to incorporate machine learning models, such as next-best-account recommendations and personalized value propositions, into product flows where they will deliver the highest impact to clients.
Develop deep product analytics to understand how clients move through the consolidation funnel, linking external accounts, reaching their first $5k, adopting multiple products, and identify where the biggest opportunities exist to accelerate that journey.
Create and maintain data models and dashboards that monitor consolidation KPIs (Premium+ conversion, registrant-to-funded rates, linking rates, activation milestones) with a focus on data quality, accessibility, and efficiency.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Growth, and Lifecycle Marketing to translate analytical findings into product decisions and shipped features.
Proactively identify and size growth opportunities by being closest to the data, and then partner with stakeholders to get those opportunities prioritized and executed.
Build automation tools and pipelines that increase team efficiency and scalability.
Contribute to the team's culture of learning and knowledge sharing. Teach and learn from your teammates, and help make others successful.
Take ownership and ship iteratively; believe that simple is better and Occam's razor is your friend.
Requirements
5+ years of experience in data science, decision science, or a similar quantitative role, including experience as the primary data scientist for a product domain or function.
Strong product analytics skills. A deep experience understanding user funnels, activation metrics, and translating product usage data into actionable growth insights.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills. Able to partner closely with product managers and present complex analytical findings to senior leadership.
Curiosity and ownership: willing to dive deep into product strategies, business context, and data to surface insights proactively while handling ambiguity.
Deep expertise in experimental design and causal inference (A/B testing, non-inferiority tests, factorial designs, power analysis, and related methods). This is core to the role.
Strong technical skills in SQL and Python, with hands-on experience in data pipeline tools such as dbt and Airflow.
Strong understanding of data visualization and analytics engineering principles.
Results-driven mindset: comfortable keeping things as simple as possible to achieve product goals.
