Forward Deployed Marketing Data Scientist at Hightouch, an AI marketing platform. Role combines customer-facing diagnostics and deep analytical work tuning AI-driven marketing campaigns, analyzing incrementality, and explaining model behavior to non-technical stakeholders.
Hightouch is the modern AI platform for marketing and growth teams. Our AI agents reimagine marketing workflows, allowing marketers to create content, plan campaigns, and execute strategies with transformational velocity and performance.
Hightouch is a rare company built on the intersection of two fundamental technological shifts: advances in LLMs and agentic AI, and the creation and rapid adoption of cloud data warehouses like Snowflake and Databricks. Building on these tailwinds, we’ve become a leader in AI marketing and partner with industry leaders like Domino’s, Chime, Spotify, Ramp, Whoop, Grammarly, and over 1000 others.
Our team focuses on making a meaningful impact for our customers. We approach challenges with first-principles thinking, move quickly and efficiently, and treat each other with compassion and kindness. We look for team members who are strong communicators, have a growth mindset, and are motivated and persistent in achieving our goals.

Marketing teams come to Hightouch to transform how they operate. Instead of planning campaigns weeks ahead on a calendar, AI Decisioning continuously learns customer preferences and executes 1:1 messaging that adapts in real time. Your mission is to make sure that these AI agents perform at their best—and to help customers understand why they are performing the way they are.
You’ll work alongside ML engineers, product managers, Solutions Consultants, and some of the world’s most recognizable brands to improve campaign performance, debug experiments, and identify opportunities for additional lift. Roughly 30% of your time will be customer-facing and 70% deep analytical and modeling work.
