Senior Data Scientist, Retention – Product
CookUnityWe are on a mission to unlock the world's best food creators and bring their dishes to the doorstep of the masses.
• Churn & retention modeling: Build churn/survival models and lifecycle-state models that flag at-risk customers early and anticipate where each customer is heading. • Intervention & reason understanding: Power the retention interventions that act on that risk — save flows, skip/pause deflection, lifecycle messaging — and classify why customers churn so the response fits the reason rather than being generic. • Resurrection & win-back: Develop propensity models and personalized experiences that bring churned customers back. • Personalization & Next-Best-Action: Decide the right action, offer, and message per customer across product surfaces, with an uplift layer measuring incremental impact. • Offer & promo optimization: Determine who gets an incentive, when, and at what value — maximizing retained revenue without over-discounting. • Production & MLOps: Own the full model lifecycle and ship models into the systems where they act; handle monitoring, retraining, and drift. • Experimentation & incrementality: Design experiments and uplift measurement so we intervene on movable customers and not on those who'd retain anyway.
