Senior Data Science Manager

In 1923, Claude Hopkins published Scientific Advertising, introducing early ideas around experimentation, attribution, and measurable decision‑making. Behind the book was a team that meticulously designed, executed, and measured campaigns — setting the foundation for modern, data‑driven growth. At Mercury, that mindset extends beyond marketing. It spans how we acquire customers, how we activate and convert them, and how we design product experiences that drive long‑term value. We’re looking for a Senior Data Science Manager to lead the data science powering Mercury’s revenue and product value engine. This team supports Go‑To‑Market functions across Finance, Marketing, and Sales, drives growth product experimentation across activation and conversion, and partners on core product experiences like Spend, Expense Management, and Invoicing.

You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, and Finance to ensure our most important decisions are grounded in trusted data and clear experimentation frameworks.
