Cohere is hiring a Lead Data Scientist

Responsibilities

  • Drive the mission forward. Own the science: design and lead experimentation programs including A/B tests, multi-armed bandits, causal inference studies, that directly map to product and go-to-market decisions.
  • Build predictive models that matter: develop and deploy models for forecasting, segmentation, propensity scoring, and opportunity sizing across Cohere's core business lines.
  • Lead and grow a team: manage a team of analysts and data scientists. Set the technical bar, mentor aggressively, and create an environment where exceptional people do their best work.
  • Act like an owner: no waiting around. You'll define analytical priorities, allocate resources, and push initiatives from question to production.
  • Shape strategy: partner across product, research, sales, and finance to define how Cohere grows. Your team's work will get built into products and implemented into strategy.

Requirements

  • Strong command of SQL, Python, and Git, alongside deep expertise in statistical inference, experimental design, and predictive modeling
  • A proven ability to turn ambiguous business questions into rigorous analytical problems, with clear and compelling recommendations to match
  • Experience leading analytics or data science teams, with a track record of making smart people faster
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, managing complex multi-workstream roadmaps, and distilling insights into a concise, actionable narrative
  • A leadership style grounded in empathy as much as in data

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with modern data stack tools such as BigQuery, dbt, Looker, or Airflow (nice to have, not essential)
  • Genuine excitement about AI - you follow the research, have opinions, and enjoy being in the weeds

Benefits

  • Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget for mental health.
  • RRSP matching, 401K, Pension Scheme.
