the role Pendo's GTM Intelligence Team turns data into measurable outcomes across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Engineering. We combine analysis, ML models, and internal tooling to answer high-value business questions and help GTM teams work faster and more effectively. We measure success by the real business value our work creates. As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll own the full lifecycle of intelligence solutions, from problem definition and analysis through model development, stakeholder enablement, and ongoing iteration. You'll work directly with GTM teams to surface high-value business problems and answer them with the right mix of analytics and modeling, translating what you find into decisions that stick. The best person for this role has strong modeling instincts, genuine curiosity about how GTM businesses operate, and the judgment to know when a complex model is the right tool — and when a well-framed SQL query gets you there faster.
