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 Staff Decision Scientist to be strategic partners embedded with product, 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 Data & Analytics leadership team and work alongside data engineers, data scientists, and ML engineers. This role is based in Central London with a hybrid model of remote and in person/office meetings. The UK-based salary range for this position is £99,500 - 117,500 with an additional equity grant. We take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary - therefore, base pay offered may vary considerably depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
What You'll Do
- Own the analytical narrative for your Operating Group (OG).
- Be the strategic thought partner across cross-functional teams (PMs, engineers, marketing, finance).
- Tell stories that move teams to act.
- Establish causality with the right tools for the situation, including A/B testing, analytics, and causal inference.
- Define metrics strategies that measure what matters.
- Build explanations on top of measurement, always grounding analysis in the reality that users are people with motivations and context the data alone won't tell you.
- Shape the AI-native analytics stack.
- Mentor senior ICs on causal thinking, experimental rigor, and AI-leveraged workflows.
What We're Looking For
Core Expectations- Problem-solving mindset: You structure ambiguous problems precisely before reaching for a tool, AI or otherwise.
- Ownership mentality: You take responsibility from framing the question through delivering the recommendation and tracking its impact.
- AI-native working style: You use AI tooling (Claude Code or equivalent) as a genuine development partner.
- Curiosity and initiative: You dig into data because you're genuinely curious about how things work.
- Influence at scale: You've shaped strategy at the business unit level by framing the right question and making the evidence impossible to ignore.
- 8+ years in an analytics, data science, or decision science role at a consumer tech company.
- Advanced degree in a quantitative field (economics, statistics, quantitative social science, operations research) or equivalent practical experience.
- Demonstrated experience with causal inference methods in applied settings.
- Track record of influencing product or business strategy through data.
- Experience with experimentation platforms (Statsig, Optimizely, or similar).
- Proficiency in SQL and Python/R for statistical analysis.
- Experience with subscription or freemium business models.
- Familiarity with international / multi-market analytics.
- Experience building dbt models or contributing to analytics engineering workflows.
- Background in growth, retention, or lifecycle analytics.
- Experience with LTV modeling, incrementality testing, or marketing mix modeling.
