This is the century of biology, and the breakthroughs we make now have the potential to change the world. We enable scientists to advance their research, allowing them to address scientific questions they did not even know they could ask.

Our tools have enabled fundamental discoveries across biology including cancer, immunology, and neuroscience.

About the team and role

The Strategic Insights & Analytics team sits at the intersection of data science and business strategy. We build the analytical representation of how the company operates and grows to support strategic decisions, our ultimate product. We treat this as an engineering discipline: grounding models in the scientific process, versioning in code repositories, and delivering as internal products that support consequential business decisions.

We are a team of high-agency, cross-disciplinary individuals who pursue the highest-leverage opportunities to deliver insights and analytics, wherever they sit in the business. We share ambition and conviction that one person can now deliver what used to take a team, and that historically fragmented, static, spreadsheet-driven models can now converge into a single unified analytical model of the company. We take pride in fully leveraging modern AI tools to build analytical products and inform strategic decisions end-to-end.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role. You will collaborate closely with senior business leaders and embed within teams across the organization to drive impact, then move on to the next highest-leverage problem.

What you will be working onData and semantic foundations: defining and implementing customer and market segments across systems, enriching with telemetry and other data; developing versioned metric definitions and business context so people and AI reason over a shared model; improving our EDW and semantic layer (dbt, Git Hub, Snowflake)
Customer, market, and growth models: modeling where growth comes from (new versus existing customers, by segment); activation, retention, expansion; cohort analysis; funnel conversion; sales/marketing/service capacity and effectiveness models

Forecasting and planning models: building territory, account, and instrument-level demand forecasts and LTV models; migrating planning models from spreadsheets to versioned models in Git Hub Enablement  and automation: unifying the business review cadence on standardized views tied to company goals; enabling self-serve analytics and insights; replacing manual work with agentic workflows

Stakeholder partnership: program managing cross-functional initiatives, translating ambiguous business needs from leaders into structured analytical products; communicating recommendations clearly
