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 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 development of data science within Product, producing statistical models that directly impact insights and recommendations to enhance the product and customer experience. You will help scale the impact of the Product Analytics team by creating automation, self-service model capabilities, improving experimentation velocity, and driving efficiency. Your work will include architecting and implementing sophisticated statistical models such as predictive, classification, and clustering to enhance features like personalization and recommendations.

Exploring new tooling and approaches including Agentic AI and AI Agents, you will identify opportunity areas, develop proofs of concept, and drive adoption. You will partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers to 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 product strategy and decision-making.
