About the Role
At Tripadvisor, the only thing we love more than travel is data. As our Senior Product Data Scientist, you will be the cornerstone of our advanced analytics capability. This high-impact role is designed to shape the future of our product by embedding deep, quantitative intelligence into its core. You will help set the vision for how data science can solve our most challenging problems, mentor a talented team of product analysts, and spearhead the development of models and frameworks that drive our product strategy forward.

You will lead the development of Data Science within Product, producing statistical models that directly impact insights and recommendations driving the product and customer experience. You will scale the impact of the Product Analytics team through automation, self-service model capabilities, improving experimentation velocity, and driving efficiency. You will architect and implement sophisticated statistical models (predictive, classification, clustering, etc.) to enhance product features such as personalization and recommendations.

Exploring new tooling, products, and approaches including Agentic AI and AI Agents, you will identify opportunity areas, develop proofs of concept, and drive adoption. Partnering closely with Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers, you will identify high-impact opportunities where data science can solve customer problems and improve the product. You will champion experimentation by designing and analyzing complex A/B tests, causal inference models, and uplift modeling to inform product decisions.

As a leader, you will guide and mentor other product analysts in best practices for experimentation, modeling, and data-driven product development, upskilling the team and defining the roadmap for Product Data Science. You will communicate complex data insights clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, influencing cross-functional partners and driving product strategy.

Experience
Significant experience in data science or a similar quantitative role, with a proven track record of supporting and influencing a product organization.
Experience scaling impact through automated processes, self-service tools, or data products.
Experience working within a two-sided marketplace, e-commerce, or travel technology industry is a plus.

About you
Proactive and collaborative with the ability to lead technical discussions and drive product strategy.
Strong critical thinking skills demonstrated by rational, skeptical, and unbiased analysis.
Ability to communicate complex insights effectively to cross-functional teams.
Mentorship skills to upskill and guide product analysts.
Curious and innovative mindset with interest in exploring new AI tooling and approaches.

Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, Engineering, Physics, Economics, or a related quantitative field.
Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL.
Deep hands-on experience with statistical modeling, (quasi) experimentation, multi-arm bandit, and a wide range of machine learning techniques including regression, classification, and clustering.
Nice to have:
- Advanced programming skills for building simulations and prototyping data products.
- Experience validating quantitative findings with qualitative methods such as surveys or user research.
- Demonstrated experience with applied AI including NLP, Large Language Models (LLMs), or Agentic AI for analytics.
- Experience developing sophisticated customer segmentation models including predictive LTV modeling.
