Location: US Remote, or 50% hybrid in New York Your mission on the Data Analytics team: TouchTunes is looking for a Senior Manager, Data Science to own the analysis behind our biggest commercial decisions: how we price across a 65,000-venue network and mobile platform, what our marketing spend returns, and what a player is worth over their lifetime.

Reporting to the Director, Data Analytics, you’ll partner with Finance, Marketing, Product, and Revenue. Your day-to-day:
Serve as the senior technical authority on experimentation and causal inference: set the standard for how experiments are designed, powered, and read, and decide when a question calls for a test, a model, or an observational read Design and analyze pricing experiments end to end under fleet and hardware constraints, with readouts that hold up to Board and investor scrutiny Design and run marketing incrementality testing, including geo- and channel-level designs, and validate vendor and partner methodology Build and maintain LTV, CAC, retention, churn risk, and predictive segmentation models by cohort and channel Sequence concurrent tests and shared controls so they don’t contaminate one another Review external-facing analysis, including consultant, vendor, and investment-case analysis Productionize models with Data Engineering in Databricks so they feed marketing, pricing, and finance on a schedule Use AI tooling, including Claude, to accelerate analysis, code, and documentation and set the team standard for using it rigorously Translate technical findings for the CEO, CFO, and executive team: lead with the decision the analysis supports and keep the method available but secondary
