Senior Director, Analytics and Data Science, Core Product & Growth

The team partners with product, marketing, and engineering to put those learnings into everyday work, and that work shapes our roadmaps.</p> <p>Our data is unusual for a consumer company. Life360 measures families and circles rather than individuals, so one member's behavior affects another's, which makes measurement a different problem than a standard funnel. With billions of location events, driving behavior, crash detection, and Tile and Pet GPS trackers, we get a rich picture of physical behavior that few consumer companies can build.</p> <h3>About the Job</h3> <p>This Senior Director leads MAU Analytics and Data Science.</p> <p>You and your team will work across acquisition, activation, engagement, and retention on the analysis, models, and experiments behind each. A lot of what this role owns needs to be built rather than maintained: the measurement, the standards, and how

the team uses AI.

The team is also raising its craft, and coaching people through that is an important part of the job. Within a year, your team members will be operating at an elevated skill level, proactively bringing key questions to light, and serving as trusted advisors whom stakeholders consult for strategic guidance rather than simple task execution.</p> <p>You will report to the Head of Data and work closely with counterparts leading Revenue Analytics and Data Science, and with the leaders of Data Engineering.</p> <p><strong><em>For candidates based in the US, the salary range for this position is $247,000 to $366,000 USD. For candidates based out of Canada, the salary range for this position is $286,000 to $339,000 CAD.</em></strong><em> We take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary - therefore, base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The

compensation package includes a wide range of medical, dental, vision, financial, and other

benefits, as well as equity.</em></p> <h3>
