We are looking for a Sr. Data Science Manager to lead a data science team covering some of the systems at the very core of Redfin, including how we route customers to agents and build our projections of the course of the business (budget). Your team owns development of how these core processes work including models which determine production decisions and define Redfin's ultimate KPIs.

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Finance on complex cross-functional problems, and represent analytics in senior forums.
• Set the analytical strategy for major product investments, helping teams understand tradeoffs and own the quarterly analytics roadmap, prioritizing the highest-impact opportunities and contracting clearly on work the team will not prioritize. 
• Translate ambiguous business questions into clear analytical plans, and translate results into recommendations senior leaders can act on.

About you 

• 9+ years of experience in analytics, preferably in a data science role.
• 5+ years of experience directly leading data science teams.
• Strong statistical and causal reasoning foundation.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with a track record of influencing senior product and business leaders.

• Experienced in leading AI-assisted analytics teams. Helped design how AI-produced work gets reviewed to avoid bottlenecks.
• Demonstrated, practical use of AI in an analytics workflow, with specific examples of how it changed your team's speed, quality, or leverage.
• Expert in SQL, data modeling, and building reusable analytical layers. Snowflake experience preferred.
• Proven background constructing scalable and self-serve business intelligence solutions used across the organization.
