Our technology helps customers accurately track ad spend, understand the full customer journey, and drive profitable growth.

We’re a remote-friendly company with offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

About the Role

We are seeking a Director of Data Science to lead the team that builds the intelligence layer underpinning Northbeam's modern marketing measurement and advanced, data-driven products.

This is a hands-on leadership role focused on executing the technical roadmap: guiding technical decisions, ensuring project delivery and accountability, and coaching and unblocking the team. You’ll partner closely with Engineering and Product to shape technical design and product requirements, and collaborate with R&D leadership to build the team and systems that drive continuous innovation and measurement accuracy.

Your Impact
  • Own the execution of the technical roadmap for data science models and scalable data products.
  • Lead cross functional projects end-to-end—from scoping to launch—with clear milestones, accountability, and quality standards.
  • Partner with Engineering and Product to align on milestones, unblock teams, and ensure execution velocity.
  • Hire, mentor, and develop top talent while raising the execution quality through effective reviews and coaching.
  • Understand customer pain points and desired outcomes; turn them into clear technical requirements and DS solution designs.
  • Recommend and translate statistical outputs and data science models into customer-facing features and enterprise solutions.
  • Establish repeatable validation processes for model release and collaborate with Data Engineering to ensure data quality and robust edge-case handling.

What You Bring

  • 8+ years in data science or ML engineering roles, including 5+ years managing senior data scientists or technical leads.
  • Proven ability to hire, develop, and retain senior technical talent while maintaining a high-performing team culture.
  • Master’s degree (or equivalent experience) in statistics, econometrics, machine learning, or a related quantitative field.
  • Strong foundation in causal inference, time series analysis, Bayesian modeling, and experimental design.
  • Experience designing and deploying ML systems at scale in collaboration with engineering teams; skilled at influencing without direct authority and partnering with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to drive success.
  • Proficiency in Python, R, and SQL; experience with modern data platforms (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake), MLOps practices, and pipeline orchestration tools.
  • Proven ability in shaping data infrastructure requirements, aligning with product teams
  • Strong communication skills with demonstrated excellence in translating complex statistical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus Skills & Experience 

  • Experience with identity graph, attribution modeling, or experiment design in marketing/advertising contexts.
  • Familiarity with customer acquisition funnels and enterprise sales cycles.
  • Prior work in MarTech/AdTech or B2B SaaS.

Base Salary Range

$220,000 - $245,000 USD

Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location.

We accept applications on an ongoing basis.

We’re experiencing rapid growth and strong product-market fit, and we’re looking for the right people to help us scale. This is a rare chance to make a meaningful impact at a fast-moving, high-growth company. At Northbeam, you’ll join a team of driven, collaborative, and talented individuals who value personal growth and excellence. We’d love for you to be part of our journey.

In addition to your base salary, we offer an equity package, comprehensive healthcare benefits (medical, dental, and vision), and a 401(k) plan. Our team enjoys a flexible PTO policy, 12 company-paid holidays, and 12 weeks of paid parental leave. We also provide a $500 work-from-home stipend to support your remote setup.

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.
