We are AI Native We are building an AI native company where AI is an integral part of how we build and operate. AI tool usage during interviews varies by role. You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance. Your Recruiter will provide clear guidance as you move through the interview process. Undisclosed use of AI not previously discussed with or approved by your Recruiter may impact your candidacy. About The Team No other team at Life360 touches every product decision, every experiment, and every revenue lever. Data & Analytics is a 60+ person organization spanning data engineering, analytics engineering, data science, and ML. We're building it to be AI-native, where automation handles the volume so our people can focus on understanding why users behave the way they do, establishing what actually causes what, and turning those findings into action. About the Job We're hiring a Lead Decision Scientist to be strategic partners embedded with product, engineering, marketing, and finance teams. People who shape what gets built, how we grow, and where we invest. You'll own the analytical narrative for your area and deliver insights that directly change roadmaps and resource allocation.

What You’ll Do Be the strategic thought partner for cross-functional teams (PMs, engineers, marketing, finance).You understand the roadmaps and users, and you notice the gap between what the data shows and what the team assumes. Tell stories that move teams to act. You'll present to leadership and working teams with clear narratives and a point of view. A great insight that nobody acts on is a failed insight. Establish causality with the right tools for the situation, including A/B testing, analytics, and causal inference. You work with engineering to implement event instrumentation and with Product to translate insights into action.
