We are AI Native
We are building an AI native company where AI is an integral part of how we build and operate. AI tool usage during interviews varies by role. You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance. Your Recruiter will provide clear guidance as you move through the interview process.
Undisclosed use of AI not previously discussed with or approved by your Recruiter may impact your candidacy.
About the Team
No other team at Life360 touches every product decision, every experiment, and every revenue lever. Data & Analytics is a 60+ person organization spanning data engineering, analytics engineering, data science, and ML. We're building it to be AI-native, where automation handles the volume so our people can focus on understanding why users behave the way they do, establishing what actually causes what, and turning those findings into action.
About the Job
We're hiring a Lead Decision Scientist (web) to be a strategic partner embedded with Direct To Consumer (DTC), web product, web engineering, marketing, and finance teams. People who shape what gets built, how we grow, and where we invest. You'll own the analytical narrative for your area and deliver insights that directly change roadmaps and resource allocation. The output is decisions, not dashboards. You'll also help make the AI-native organization a reality, shaping the tools and workflows that let automation take on more so the team can go deeper. This is not a production ML role (we have a dedicated Data Science / MLE team for that). Your primary tools are statistical inference, clear thinking, and the judgment to know which question matters most.
You'll report into the Director, Marketing Analytics and work alongside marketers, product managers, data engineers, data scientists, and ML engineers.
What You'll Do
- Be the strategic thought partner for cross-functional teams (DTC, web PMs, web engineers, marketing, finance). You architect and evangelize the web analytics roadmaps, and you
