Data Scientist, AI

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About The Role:

In this unique role, you’ll work at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Growth, and Finance to drive the success of Notion’s AI business — one of our fastest-growing and most innovative areas.

You’ll partner across these teams to identify growth opportunities, develop insights that deepen our understanding of the business and users, support new product bets, and evaluate the ROI of our AI investments.

What You'll Achieve:

• You will analyze the drivers of the AI business and the lifecycle of our paying AI customers, and inform strategic decisions about how to monetize and package our AI features.
• You will support the launch of new AI products throughout the product development process, and deliver proactive insights on potential opportunities for driving AI adoption.
• You will partner with Product and Strategic Finance to connect AI feature usage with business outcomes, helping us set better goals, create more accurate forecasts, and monitor progress.
• You will partner with Strategic Finance and Engineering to optimize our AI infrastructure costs.
• You will design the right set of experiments or analyses to evaluate the success of new features and growth initiatives.
• You will create self-service tools and reports that empower partner teams and leadership to understand and track key metrics.
• You will collaborate with Data Engineering to build core data models that power operational and exploratory data analyses.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• You have 5+ years of experience in analytics and data science, with experience collaborating with growth, finance, business operations, product, or engineering teams.
• You have expertise in SQL and at least one scripting language (ideally Python or R).
• You have experience building predictive models, and you know how to evaluate their effectiveness.
• You know how to use statistical inference and experimentation to drive actionable recommendations.
• You are comfortable transforming raw data to build your own data sets if the measure you need doesn't exist yet.
• You have excellent communication skills and a proven track record of partnering with cross-functional teams to drive impact through data-informed decisions.
• You have strong analytical skills and can bring structure to ambiguous problems with limited data. You can solve deeply complex problems without losing sight of the big picture.
• You have a bias for using the right tools to get a job done with maximum efficiency. You have experience making tradeoffs between speed and accuracy.
• You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with rapid iteration.

Nice to Haves:

• You have experience supporting AI features or products.
• You have worked at a fast-growing start-up.
• You have experience at a B2B SaaS company.
• You have experience with financial modeling.
