About The Role
Fora is hiring a Senior Data Scientist to help us scale our marketing and growth initiatives. As our GTM organization grows, we're looking for someone to refine how we measure incrementality and run experiments to help us scale acquisition, engage users, and drive growth across the entire customer lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities
- Drive quantitative rigor in marketing performance measurement
- Design and analyze incrementality experiments, including geo tests, holdouts, and lift studies
- Partner with customer acquisition, lifecycle, and membership teams to test new channels and shape growth strategy
- Own attribution and media mix modeling to guide where the next marketing dollar gets invested
- Model customer value, propensity, and retention to sharpen customer targeting and personalization
- Raise the bar across the data team — mentor peers, establish best practices, and shape the team's processes, tools, and standards
Requirements

- Advanced SQL skills are essential. Proficiency in Python or another scripting language preferred.
- Hands-on experience with a modern cloud data stack (e.g. Airbyte, BigQuery, dbt, Hex, Omni, or equivalents) and data modeling best practices.
- Experience using LLM tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex) to accelerate analysis and prototyping.
- Strong communication and storytelling skills.
- Deeply curious with a drive to learn.
- Pragmatic. Looking for real world business impact, not a science project.
- A collaborative and empathetic mindset with experience supporting and leveling up your peers.
