Job Description

The Wealthfront Data Science team utilizes our rich financial and behavioral data to influence Marketing, Product and information security decisions. The team draws from backgrounds in Computer Science, Natural Sciences, Statistics, Operations Research, Economics and Finance.

The Data Scientist in this role will be primarily embedded within Wealthfront’s Lifecycle (LC) Marketing team. The objectives of the LC Marketing team are maximizing lead conversion and optimizing client engagement. The team addresses these goals by designing and executing personalized campaigns delivered via Emails, InApp merchandising, and push notifications.

The set of potential projects for this role includes (but is not limited to) client segmentation, campaign design and analysis, and client value modeling. A successful Lifecycle Marketing Data Scientist employs a combination of economic intuition, first-principles mathematical modeling, statistics (including causal inference) and machine learning.

A key desired trait for this role is an ability to collaboratively create experiments based on clients’ hypothesized pain points, aspirations, and moments of delight. An ideal candidate will also act as a mentor to junior team members and demonstrate an ability to explain technical concepts in a simple language.
