About Scope3
Scope3 is the industry’s leading collaborative sustainability platform. By modeling the complex digital advertising supply chain, we help brands measure and dramatically reduce digital waste to reduce carbon emissions from advertising and increase the efficacy of advertising investment. This is an exceptional opportunity to build a company alongside great people and make a difference in one of the most important issues facing the planet: the climate crisis.
We’re a reliably-funded company of 100 folks distributed across the globe. We are fortunate to be led by an experienced leadership team, many of whom designed and engineered the digital advertising landscape as we know it today. The company secured $20M in Series B funding led by GV in Oct 2023 (additional investors include Venrock, Rucker Park, Room40 Ventures, and Craft Ventures), and we are thrilled to be the recipient of a secondary round of $25M in Oct 2024. Scope3 has significant market traction with more than 70+ customers and is experiencing accelerated growth.
Scope3 is a fully remote company and largely asynchronous to provide flexible working hours and to operate globally, with concentrations in New York and Europe. At this time, we are hiring in Canada, Australia, UK, France, Germany, and the United States.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Data Science Lead to drive our data science initiatives and deliver impactful insights that inform strategic decision-making and fuel product innovation. A key focus for this position will be on continuously enhancing and monitoring the accuracy and robustness of our digital twin model. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams and leverage advanced analytical techniques to tackle complex business and modeling challenges. We value an action-oriented mindset and the ability to work autonomously, as well as recognizing that simplicity can often yield the most effective solutions. Ideally, we are looking to hire for this position in Europe or the US, Eastern time zone.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage the complete data science project lifecycle: from defining problems and collecting data to deploying models and monitoring their performance.
- Employ sophisticated statistical analysis methods, including Monte Carlo simulations and Sensitivity Analysis, to improve the accuracy and robustness of our digital twin model.
- Partner closely with product, engineering, and business teams to translate business requirements into actionable data science solutions, ensuring insights are accessible and impactful.
- Shape the company’s overall data strategy and contribute to data-driven product innovation and thought leadership.
- Develop metrics to assess model performance and effectiveness, and continuously monitor and refine models post-deployment.
- Present findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, adapting communication styles to suit different audiences.
- Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in data science, encouraging experimentation with new tools and techniques among the team.
- Guide and mentor fellow data scientists, promoting a culture of innovation and ongoing learning.
Your Expertise
- 8+ years in data science with a strong background in machine learning, statistical analysis, and data modeling.
- Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field; a Master’s or Ph.D. is preferred.
- Proficient in programming languages such as Python or R, with experience in data manipulation libraries (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn).
- Experience with SQL and familiarity with data warehousing solutions (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake).
- Proficient with collaborative cloud notebooks for data science.
- Familiar with frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch and data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Matplotlib).
Nice to Have
- Experience with digital twin models.
- Familiarity with the ad tech industry.
- Expertise in large-scale distributed data processing frameworks such as Spark.
Our Culture is rooted in …
- A passion for the environment and climate work. We are a mission-driven company, and this is what motivates us to work hard and deliver outcomes for our customers.
- A desire to communicate clearly and empathetically while working asynchronously. We have always been a globally distributed, remote-first company and leverage remote-friendly tools to collaborate such as Slack, Zoom, Notion, Miro, etc.
- Celebration of healthy conflict in the workplace; differences in approach are good! We focus on the solutions and we move on quickly.
- The ability and accountability to deliver what we promise. We do what we say we will do, and we don’t make promises we can’t keep.
- Experience driving systemic change. Our mission is to decarbonize advertising and this requires a holistic approach to re-imagining and inspiring an industry movement at a global scale.
