Docusign • San Francisco, CA

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for a strategic, execution-minded Senior Data Scientist to drive Docusign's new customer growth. Partnering closely with a cross-functional squad - including Growth Product Management, Marketing, Sales, Strategy & Ops, Brand, Engineering, and Customer Success - you will drive inbound demand and new customer acquisition by optimizing AI-driven discovery (AEO/GEO), inbound demand generation, performance marketing, and website conversion. You will lead strategic analyses and experimentations to discover, validate, and scale new ways to drive self-serve acquisition, expansion, and retention. You will build the measurement framework for how Docusign shows up in AI-driven discovery - tracking LLM share of voice, citation frequency, and sentiment - while connecting the dots from upstream acquisition signals to downstream revenue across both self-serve and sales-assisted motions. In this high-impact, hands-on position you will lead regular performance readouts, design and analyze end-to-end experiments, and deliver clear, compelling insights that help Docusign win in the AI-driven buying era. It's an ideal opportunity for a business-minded analytics leader who thrives in cross-functional environments, operates as an individual contributor, and wants to propel Docusign's growth trajectory to new heights. Our ideal candidate combines best-in-class analytical skills, a strong strategic mindset with a bias for execution, a passion for experimentation and continuous learning, and a proven record of turning data into business impact. This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Growth Data Science Principal.
