Job Description
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.
Waymo’s Product Data Science team works cross-functionally with Engineering, Product and Operations to help the company make the most informed decisions using data. Our team collaborates on high-impact projects across the company — from driving quality and operational efficiency to market analysis and rider satisfaction scores — we help to safely and efficiently scale the Waymo Driver. We are data-driven, curious, open-minded, and adapt quickly to new information.
In this hybrid role, you will report to the Product Data Science Lead, Growth and Experience.
**You will:**
- Connect marketing performance to real business outcomes by building ROI methodologies and efficiency guardrails that leadership can act on
- Own optimization across the full acquisition picture — brand media, performance channels, promotions, and referrals — not just the parts with clean attribution
- Design and run Waymo's incrementality measurement program, including geo-based holdout tests, switchback experiments, and media mix modeling across every acquisition channel
- Build Waymo's LTV and CAC framework and use it to guide how marketing spend gets allocated
- Be the data science partner marketing and product leans on for measurement and experimentation
- Lead deep-dive analyses across geos, audiences, creatives, and channels to find the non-obvious growth levers nobody's looked for yet
**You have:**
- At least 6 years of industry experience, with a strong focus on growth marketing, including time spent owning measurement strategy, not just executing it
- A track record of working directly with marketing leadership as a trusted partner
- Proficiency in SQL and Python or R for data manipulation, statistical modeling, and experiment analysis
- Hands-on experience designing and analyzing incrementality experiments — geo holdout tests, switchback designs, or intent-to-treat analyses — in a consumer tech, marketplace, or rideshare context
- Strong causal inference fundamentals — you know how to design studies that produce actionable, credible results
**We prefer:**
- Time at a high-growth consumer tech, rideshare, or mobility company
- Experience with media mix modeling (MMM) or multi-touch attribution (MTA) in addition to geo-based incrementality testing
- Experience building LTV and CAC frameworks and using them to guide real spend decisions
- Experience with mobile measurement partners (MMP)
- Familiarity with paid media platforms and channel dynamics (SEM, paid social, programmatic)
The expected base salary range for this full-time position across US locations is listed below. Actual starting pay will be based on job-related factors, including exact work location, experience, relevant training and education, and skill level.
