At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Acting as the strategic data partner to Product and Engineering leads across the Productivity space

• Defining and owning the long-term measurement strategy for productivity workflows, collaboration and AI-powered assistance

• Identifying step-change growth opportunities and helping the group set bold, data-informed goals

• Leading complex, multi-squad experimentation and ensuring strong decision frameworks are in place

• Building clarity across interconnected surfaces — aligning metrics across editing, workflows, collaboration and downstream impact

• Coaching and growing senior data scientists while raising the bar for strategic thinking and influence

• Anticipating future risks and opportunities through proactive insight generation

You're probably a match if

• You’ve operated as a senior data leader and trusted thought partner to Product leadership

• You think in systems and can connect multiple product surfaces into one clear measurement strategy

• You’re strong in experimentation, but equally strong in ambiguous, exploratory problem spaces

• You’re fluent in SQL and experienced in Python or R

• You influence through clarity — simplifying complexity and helping teams make confident decisions

• You’ve driven impact in high-growth or zero-to-one product areas

• You’re energised by bold goals and building strategy in emerging spaces

• You’ve worked in collaboration tools, workflow automation, or AI-assisted productivity products

• You’ve defined north-star metrics and success frameworks for new product categories
