## Description (the employer's text)

Scopely is a global gaming company whose mission is to inspire play every day. Scopely Explore (a division of Scopely)’s mission is to inspire people to explore the world together. We build products that inspire exercise, exploration, and social in-person interaction.

We are seeking a quantitatively adept and business-minded Senior Data Scientist, Marketing, to support our global marketing organization. You will operate at the intersection of data science, deep marketing domain expertise, and AI proficiency. In this role, you will help develop measurement frameworks, analytical models(e.g Marketing Mix Modeling), and scalable reporting solutions that inform user acquisition, brand investment, CRM efforts, and long-term player growth. You will also utilize AI-augmented workflows to accelerate the end-to-end data science lifecycle.

This role is ideal for someone who combines strong technical skills with intellectual curiosity, a forward-thinking perspective on how AI will transform data science workflows, and a desire to understand how marketing investments translate into long-term player value.

### Responsibilities

### User Acquisition (UA)

- Contribute to and own the Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) and other aggregate measurement approaches to evaluate cross-channel and upper-funnel impact (e.g. brand) where deterministic attribution is limited.
- Build and maintain robust ETL pipelines that ingest, transform, and validate UA data from ad networks, MMPs, and internal systems.
- Develop and refine predictive LTV (pLTV) models to enable faster optimization of UA campaigns based on early user signals.
- Explore, develop, and refine AI-based systems that are able to answer common data inquiries from stakeholders, as well as quickly diagnose data pipeline issues, etc.
- Support testing frameworks (e.g., geo experiments, holdouts, incrementality tests) to evaluate campaign effectiveness in privacy-constrained environments.
- Partner with Finance and UA teams to align on forecasting methodologies and investment strategies driven by pLTV and payback periods.
### Direct Marketing

- Build and maintain reliable datasets and ETL workflows that ingest and transform marketing data from ad platforms, CRM systems, social channels, and internal data sources.
- Support measurement and optimization of direct marketing channels including email, push notifications, in-app messaging, and other CRM/lifecycle campaigns.
- Partner with Marketing stakeholders to provide actionable insights on targeting, segmentation, messaging effectiveness, and channel strategy.
### Analytics Infrastructure & Workflow Efficiency

- Contribute to scalable dashboards and standardized reporting that enable self-serve marketing analytics.
- Identify opportunities to automate recurring reporting and insight generation for marketing stakeholders.
- Leverage modern AI/ML tools (e.g., automated modeling workflows, AI coding assistants) to improve analysis speed, code quality, and documentation and bridge the gap between technical AI-driven insights and business stakeholders to ensure output is accurate and aligned with complex business logic.
- Ensure data quality, documentation, and consistency across marketing data pipelines.
- Contribute to responsible and thoughtful adoption of AI-powered analytics tools to ensure maintainability and long-term knowledge sharing.
### Qualifications

- 4-8 years of experience in data science, marketing analytics, or a related quantitative role (gaming, mobile, or digital consumer experience preferred).
- Demonstrated proficiency in integrating AI agentic tools to accelerate end-to-end data science workflows.
- Proven experience in user acquisition measurement and attribution with exposure to Marketing Mix Modeling or other aggregate-level measurement frameworks.
- Understanding of full marketing funnel, including brand/awareness, social, UA, and direct marketing channels (e.g., email, push, CRM).
- Familiarity with core performance metrics such as CAC, ROAS, retention, engagement, and LTV.
- Experience working with marketing data from ad platforms, CRM systems, or aggregate reporting environments.
