About The Position

Reddit is a community built on shared interests, passion, and trust, hosting open and authentic conversations. With over 100,000 active communities and approximately 121 million daily active unique visitors, it's a significant source of information. Reddit is growing its teams with top talent and is completely remote friendly. The Data Science Team is expanding and seeks an experienced leader to head a team of data scientists focused on the Marketing & Business Development domain. The core mission is to transform Marketing & BD Data Science into a strategic partnership that scales Reddit’s marketing efforts and enables product and marketing teams to make data-driven, high-confidence decisions. The team's work is structured around three strategic pillars: Data Foundations (building and maintaining a canonical source of truth for marketing performance and attribution, powering reliable campaign analyses, experimentation, and accurate Lifetime Value (LTV) modeling), Causal Measurement & Metrics (ensuring consistent measurement of campaign quality and ROI through advanced causal decision frameworks and models), and Decision-Making Insights (acting as a strategic partner to the Marketing organization, translating data into actionable recommendations for budget allocation and identifying high-value growth segments).
