Asana’s Data Science team helps us fulfill our mission by informing strategy, defining success, and identifying new ways to deliver user value. We work closely with our product teams to make sure teams are asking the right questions and then find those answers. Data scientists are at the crux of deepening our understanding of our customers and driving stronger business outcomes by leveraging experimentation, causal inference, statistical and machine learning techniques, and data analysis/storytelling. We understand our company’s goals and proactively inform their direction with data so that our product can help more teams do great things.

We’re looking for a strategic leader to head our Adoption & Enterprise data science organization who is passionate about leveraging data to drive product decisions. The Adoption & Enterprise org is focused on user onboarding, team onboarding, purchasing, and expansion for our customers. We are looking for someone who can learn fast, establish direction from ambiguity, understand which details matter, and guide their teams to deliver business results. You’ll play a pivotal role in helping your team elevate their craft, ensuring that they have the right strategy and are solving the right problems with the best solutions in service of our customers and business, while growing and nurturing a healthy data science org.
