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 is a high-impact role designed to shape the future of our product by embedding deep, quantitative intelligence into its core. You will set the vision for how data science can solve our most challenging problems, mentor a talented team of product analysts, and lead the development of models and frameworks that drive our product strategy forward.

You will lead the creation of statistical models that directly impact insights and recommendations shaping the product and customer experience. Your work will include building automation and self-service model capabilities, improving experimentation velocity, and driving efficiency. You will architect and implement sophisticated statistical models such as predictive, classification, and clustering to enhance product features like personalization and recommendations.

Exploring new tooling and approaches, including Agentic AI and AI Agents, you will identify opportunities, 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 mentor and leader, you will guide 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 teams and driving strategic impact.

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 automation, self-service tools, or data products is essential.

About you
