Lead Data Scientist - Recommendations

Scribd’s Data & Analytics team is hiring a Lead Data Scientist to own measurable outcomes across our recommendation surfaces – translating product goals into metrics, leading roadmap bets, and shipping lifts in business results. You’ll define the offline/online contract end-to-end, design and run experiments, diagnose why variants win or lose, and build prototype models while partnering with Engineering to productionize. You’ll map goals to metrics with clear success criteria, focus on opportunity sizing and measurement, and apply an AI lens (LLMs, embeddings) where it demonstrably improves retrieval, ranking, or understanding—shaping how millions engage with our global content library.
