We are looking for an experienced Data Scientist to join our team, a cross-functional group supporting all aspects of Gametime.

You will provide data-driven recommendations to optimize the marketing spend portfolio across many leagues, performances, and creative types. 
  • Cohort Analytics: Deeply analyze mobile user cohorts to understand retention and monetization behaviors. You will identify efficiency trends across specific leagues, teams, and performers, guiding budget allocation to capitalize on high-intent users.
  • Financial Modeling & Incrementality: Collaborate with marketing and finance team members to understand channel incrementality (lift) through measurement and experimentation, and inform financial scenario planning and target setting.
  • Competitive Advantage: Stay informed on the evolving mobile privacy landscape (Apple ATT) to help maintain data science as a competitive advantage for the company.

Problem-Solving and Decision-Making

  • Critical Thinking: Demonstrates strong critical thinking and decision-making abilities, especially under pressure.

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.
