[Remote] Lead Data Scientist

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Cohere is dedicated to scaling intelligence to serve humanity by training and deploying frontier models for AI systems. As a Lead Data Scientist, you will tackle complex problems, design experiments, and lead a team to deliver actionable insights that shape the company's strategy and product development.

Responsibilities

• Drive the mission forward
• Own the science: design and lead experimentation programs including A/B tests, multi-armed bandits, causal inference studies, that directly map to product and go-to-market decisions
• Build predictive models that matter: develop and deploy models for forecasting, segmentation, propensity scoring, and opportunity sizing across Cohere's core business lines
• Lead and grow a team: manage a team of analysts and data scientists. Set the technical bar, mentor aggressively, and create an environment where exceptional people do their best work
• Act like an owner: no waiting around. You'll define analytical priorities, allocate resources, and push initiatives from question to production
• Shape strategy: partner across product, research, sales, and finance to define how Cohere grows. Your team's work will get built into products and implemented into strategy

Skills

• A proven ability to turn ambiguous business questions into rigorous analytical problems, with clear and compelling recommendations to match
• Experience leading analytics or data science teams, with a track record of making smart people faster
• Genuine excitement about AI - you follow the research, have opinions, and enjoy being in the weeds
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, managing complex multi-workstream roadmaps, and distilling insights into a concise, actionable narrative
• A leadership style grounded in empathy as much as in data
• Familiarity with modern data stack tools such as BigQuery, dbt, Looker, or Airflow (nice to have, not essential)
