About The Org
Data Science is a central org that sits at the center of how Fora makes decisions, from product and marketing to the plans leadership sets for the company. We own the metrics Fora runs on, the experiments that show what works, and the analyses that set the roadmap.
About The Role
You'll be the analytical partner for one area of the business and own its hardest questions: is this working, why, and what should we do next. Most of them are causal. You'll also build data products, reusable tools and AI workflows, that the rest of Fora uses every day.
What you'll do
- Measure what changes cause: experiments, holdouts, quasi-experimental methods.
- Define success: north-star, leading and guardrail metrics, from logging to definition.
- Turn findings into decisions, and follow through on whether they worked.
Focus Areas
- Product. Partner with product and engineering on what moves bookings, not usage.
- Growth. Acquisition to retention: incrementality, churn, early signals of success.
- Experimentation & Statistics. Experiment design and quasi-experimental methods.
- Agent Evals. Prove our AI agents work: eval sets, LLM judges, links to bookings.
Focus Areas
- Have taken ambiguous questions to decisions and measurable results.
- Write production SQL and Python, and check your own numbers (R considered).
- Explain technical work plainly to executives and change minds with evidence.
- Have run experiments end to end, and used causal inference when you couldn't.
- Use AI tools to work faster and know how to check what they produce.
Compensation
Compensation for this role varies based on experience, with an indicative range of $158K–$239K + equity. Final compensation will depend on the level at which the candidate is hired, as we’re considering multiple levels for this role.
