About Customer.io

Over 9,000 companies — from scrappy startups to global brands — use our platform to send billions of emails, push notifications, in-app messages, and SMS every day. Customer.io powers automated communication that people actually want to receive. We help teams send smarter, more relevant messages using real-time behavioral data.

About the role

Hi, my name is Michael, Head of Data and Analytics at Customer.io, and I’m looking for a Manager, Data Science & Analytics to lead and evolve Customer.io's internal data science & analytics function. This team serves as a strategic partner across Product, Marketing, Sales and Customer Experience organizations, helping the company make better decisions through forecasting, experimentation, behavioral analytics, and rigorous measurement.

In this role, you'll lead a team responsible for delivering business value through the applied use of data. You'll partner closely with leaders across the company to guide decisions, define success metrics, improve customer and product experiences, and drive operational efficiencies.

Success in this role requires strong leadership, analytical and technical rigor, and business acumen. We view our data team as more than a reporting function, and as a trusted advisor to the business - bringing clarity through ambiguity, uncovering opportunities, and helping Customer.io move faster and operate smarter as we scale.

What we value

Business impact through data: We focus on delivering value over reporting and find the right balance between technical rigor and business pragmatism.

Strategic partnership: We bring ideas to the table and help our partners shape priorities, challenge assumptions, and identify opportunities — not just respond to requests.

Ownership and rigor: We hold ourselves to a high standard, sweating the details and ensuring our analyses, assumptions, and recommendations are accurate, trustworthy, and actionable.

Leadership and development: We believe great teams are built through coaching, challenge, and continuous growth, helping people do the best work of their careers.

What you'll do

  • Lead and develop a team of Data Scientists and Analysts supporting Product, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Experience.
  • Lead behavioral analytics, customer segmentation, experimentation, and product measurement efforts, helping teams understand customer behavior, evaluate product performance, and prioritize roadmap investments.
  • Develop and maintain revenue forecasts, churn models, customer health scores, and account or opportunity scoring models used across the business.
  • Partner with our data engineering team to manage our internal agentic data analytics platform, Smarty, supporting self-serve data access and analytics.
  • Define standards and best practices for analytics and data science, and refine operational frameworks to drive efficiency and scale across the team.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in Data Science, Analytics, Product Analytics, or a related quantitative field, including experience leading and developing high-performing teams.
  • Strong expertise in experimentation, forecasting, statistical analysis, and product or business analytics.
  • Advanced SQL skills and proficiency with Python or similar analytical tools.
  • Experience defining metrics, measurement frameworks, and analytical approaches that support product, growth, and business decision-making.
  • Demonstrated ability to partner with senior leaders, influence strategy, and communicate complex findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Comfortable balancing strategic leadership with hands-on analytical work when needed.
  • Experience working with modern analytics platforms and data warehouses, including Snowflake, dbt, and product analytics tools.
  • Experience in B2B SaaS, PLG, or subscription-based businesses preferred.
  • Based in the Americas, remote-friendly.

Why this role

You'll have real ownership - of a team, of a data function, and of a company that's actively building toward an AI-native analytics future. This isn't a reporting shop. You'll have a seat at the table with senior stakeholders and the latitude to shape how data drives decisions at Customer.io.

Compensation & Benefits

We believe in transparency. Starting salary for this role is $170,000 - $200,000 USD depending on experience and subject to market rate adjustment.

We know our people are what make us great, and we're committed to taking great care of them. Our inclusive benefits package supports your well-being and growth, including 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family. We also offer 16 weeks paid parental leave, unlimited PTO, stipends for remote work and wellness, a professional development budget, and more.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
