Staff Data Scientist

Intercom is the AI Customer Service company on a mission to help businesses provide incredible customer experiences. Our AI agent Fin, the most advanced customer service AI agent on the market, lets businesses deliver always-on, impeccable customer service and ultimately transform their customer experiences for the better. Fin can also be combined with our Helpdesk to become a complete solution called the Intercom Customer Service Suite, which provides AI enhanced support for the more complex or high touch queries that require a human agent. Founded in 2011 and trusted by nearly 30,000 global businesses, Intercom is setting the new standard for customer service. Driven by our core values, we push boundaries, build with speed and intensity, and consistently deliver incredible value to our customers.

What’s the opportunity? The Research, Analytics & Data Science (RAD) team at Intercom uses data and insights to drive evidence-based decision-making. We’re a team of data scientists and product researchers who use data to unlock actionable insights about our customers, our products and our business. We generate insights that build customer empathy, drive product strategy and shape products that deliver real value to our customers. Data Scientists embedded with GTM bring a blend of commercial expertise and product insight to identify and prioritize growth opportunities. Partnering closely with Sales and Solutions, they translate business problems into clear analytical workstreams, support execution of improvements, and quantify impact on key commercial metrics.

What will I be doing? You’ll partner with GTM teams to help them identify important questions and answer those questions with data. You’ll work closely with sales and solutions leaders to develop key product success metrics, to set targets, to measure results and outcomes, and to size opportunities. You’ll design, build and update end-to-end data pipelines, working closely with stakeholders to drive the collection of new data and the refinement of existing data sources and tables. You’ll partner closely with product researchers to build a holistic understanding of our customers, our products and our business. You’ll influence our GTM strategy through experimentation, exploratory analysis and quantitative research. You’ll build and automate actionable models and dashboards. You’ll craft data stories and share your findings and recommendations across R&D and the broader company. You’ll drive and shape core RAD foundations and help us improve how the RAD org operates.
