Key Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end donation pricing and amount optimization, including analytical strategy, modeling frameworks, and success metrics.
  • Develop pricing recommendations that balance donation conversion, donation value, and long-term donor trust.
  • Apply economic theory, behavioral science, and machine learning to model donor decision-making and estimate price elasticity.
  • Analyze sparse and non-transactional behavioral signals, including navigation patterns, hesitation, context, device usage, and timing, to understand donor intent.
  • Design adaptive pricing models using experimentation signals, feedback loops, and reinforcement learning concepts such as contextual bandits and sequential decision-making.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering teams to build robust experimentation frameworks and causal measurement systems.
  • Integrate external datasets, including macroeconomic trends, seasonal patterns, and regional signals, into predictive behavioral models.
  • Translate complex economic and behavioral analyses into deployable machine learning models, actionable product recommendations, and measurable business impact.
  • Communicate insights effectively to senior leadership through clear storytelling and data-driven recommendations.
  • Establish best practices for model development, validation, monitoring, and continuous improvement while mentoring fellow data scientists.

Required Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in Economics, Applied Economics, or a closely related quantitative field, or 8+ years of industry experience in data science, applied economics, pricing, marketplace optimization, or monetization within a technology-driven organization.

  • Strong background in econometrics, causal inference, behavioral modeling, and applied economic reasoning.
  • Demonstrated ability to solve ambiguous, high-impact business problems using data-driven approaches.
  • Deep understanding of price elasticity, choice modeling, and decision science.
  • Experience modeling noisy, sparse, or non-transactional behavioral data.
  • Hands-on experience designing, executing, and interpreting experiments and causal analyses.
  • Familiarity with reinforcement learning, contextual bandits, or adaptive optimization methodologies.

Technical Skills

  • Advanced proficiency in Python, including libraries such as pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, PyMC/Stan, or equivalent frameworks.
  • Strong SQL skills for complex data analysis and modeling workflows.
  • Experience leveraging modern AI tools, LLM-based assistants, autonomous coding agents, synthetic data generation, and AI-assisted feature engineering.
  • Experience designing or implementing AI-powered solutions for decision-making, rapid experimentation, simulation, or model orchestration beyond prompt engineering.

Leadership & Collaboration

  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills for presenting complex analytical findings to technical and executive stakeholders.
  • Ability to influence product strategy and executive decision-making through data-driven insights.
  • Demonstrated success leading through influence and elevating technical standards across data science teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with consumer pricing, digital marketplaces, payments, or donation platforms.
  • Experience partnering with engineering teams to productionize AI and machine learning models, including monitoring, evaluation, and continuous iteration.
