About the Role
We’re looking for a Lead Data Scientist to help transform customer contact data into clear, actionable insights that reduce customer pain, improve experience, and inform product and operational priorities.
In this role, you’ll lead the development of a Customer Pain Index and related analytics that explain why customers are contacting us, what issues hurt most, and where to focus to reduce volume and effort.
You’ll also leverage these insights to build a Predictive Escalation Model that identifies issues and accounts at risk of escalation before they occur. You’ll work closely with CX, Product, and Engineering partners to turn insight into action.
This is a hands‑on senior IC role with solid ownership and influence, focused on delivering practical, business‑impacting analytics rather than pure research.
What You’ll Do
• Lead development of customer contact and pain based analytics (dashboards, models, deep dive insights)
• Identify top drivers of customer contacts, repeat issues, escalations, and effort
• Build and evolve a Predictive Escalation Model using contact patterns, resolution signals, and sentiment indicators
• Quantify customer pain using contact volume, resolution, and sentiment signals
• Link call drivers directly to products, features, or journeys
• Enable outcomes such as contact reduction, improved FCR, and faster res
