Senior Data Scientist, Growth

Ramp

Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $100B in annualized spend flows in and out of 50,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.

The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.

We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you've built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.

The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.

If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.

About the Role

• Partner closely with Martech, Business Systems, and Growth Engineering teams to augment and leverage data across first and third-party sources, ensuring we've added as much context as possible to every decision we make

• Drive experimental design and implementation on new channels and surface areas of Ramp, ensuring we can iterate quickly and cost-effectively, especially on marketing spend designed to build awareness, consideration, and brand equity

• Contribute to the culture of Ramp's data team by influencing processes, tools, and systems that will allow us to make better decisions in a scalable way

• Strong perspective on the marketing experimentation lifecycle (hypothesis generation, experimental design, implementation, statistical analysis, A/B testing best practices)

• Deep familiarity with the past, present, and future of marketing attribution, martech, and the modern privacy landscape

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, constantly improving, start-up environment that focuses on solving problems with iterative technical solutions
