ClassDojo's mission is to give every child on Earth an education they love.
We started by building a network that connects teachers, children, and families. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-8 teachers, children, and families, globally. They use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, messages, and activities. It is actively used at an unprecedented scale: in over 95% of US schools, reaching ~51 million children in ~180 countries, all built by a team of 65 people [1]). We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.
We hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with deep backgrounds in education and large scale consumer internet, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.
What you’ll do:
Data is core to how ClassDojo makes decisions. As our data science leader of monetization and premium experiences, you’ll help build the world's leading consumer education business, one that is already reaching tens of millions of parents, teachers, and children. You’ll help grow ClassDojo to our next major milestones while deepening love for our brand.
The data science function at ClassDojo is an equal partner to product, engineering, and design. As a senior leader on a high-performing, cross-functional team, you'll build a team that will shape the company’s strategic direction. You and the team will tackle a broad range of product and business problems: uncovering unique user insights, identifying and testing critical product improvements, and driving revenue results. You'll also work with co-workers across the company to develop insights that inform strategy and decision-making across our entire business.
You can expect talented, motivated, intense and interesting co-workers; the work you'll do will pioneer the future of education.

- You have 10+ years experience in a data science or analytics role at a consumer company
