Apply statistical inference and experimentation to evaluate product changes, identify Growth opportunities, and guide strategy. Partner with product, engineering, and marketing leaders to define metrics, build datasets and dashboards, and communicate insights that drive business and product decisions. The role requires SQL, scripting, data transformation, and practical tradeoffs between speed and accuracy. Predictive modeling experience is preferred, as are startup and B2B SaaS backgrounds.

Who We Are

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.

About The Role:
  • You will apply your expertise in statistical inference and experimentation to understand the impact of product changes and drive decision-making.

  • You will explore ambiguous areas and conduct analysis to identify opportunities for the Growth org, helping shape the strategy and roadmap.

  • You'll partner closely with product, engineering, and marketing leaders at every step of the development process, driving forward data science and analytics work.

  • You'll work with your teams to determine north star and operational metrics, and build the foundational datasets and dashboards to monitor progress and make key decisions.

  • You'll influence the broader company by communicating your findings and driving change in our product and business. (Insights are useful. Impact is even better!)

Skills You'll Need to Bring:
  • You are comfortable with ambiguity and motivated by business results.

  • You have expertise in SQL and at least one scripting language (ideally Python or R).

  • You know how to use statistical inference and experimentation to drive actionable recommendations.

  • You are comfortable transforming raw data to build your own data sets if the measure you need doesn't exist yet.

  • You have a bias for using the right tools to get a job done with maximum efficiency. You have experience making tradeoffs between speed and accuracy.

Nice to Haves:
  • You have worked at a fast-growing start-up.

  • You have experience at a B2B SaaS company.

  • You have a track record of acting as a thought partner to product, engineering, and marketing leaders, driving strategic decisions on these teams using data.

  • You have experience building predictive models, and you know how to evaluate their effectiveness.

A Note on AI

You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.

Equal Opportunity & Accommodations

We hire talented people from a wide range of backgrounds. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every bullet, we still encourage you to apply. Notion is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristic. Consistent with applicable law, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records. Notion provides reasonable accommodations during the application process; if you need one, please let your recruiter know.
