About Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc.
At SBH, our purpose is to inspire a more colorful, confident, and welcoming world. We are the leader in professional hair color, selling and distributing professional beauty supplies across 11 countries through our Sally Beauty and Beauty Systems Group businesses. Sally Beauty offers products for hair color, hair care, nails, and skin care to retail customers looking for salon quality products at a value price. Beauty Systems Group, branded as Cosmo Prof or Armstrong McCall stores, along with its direct sales consultants, sell professionally branded products intended for use and resale by salons to retail consumers.
We are seeking a hands-on Data Scientist to build the models and data products that power how SBH understands and activates its customers. This is a technical individual-contributor role for a data scientist who is equally comfortable engineering a feature pipeline in Databricks, defending a model's validation approach, and explaining the resulting business recommendation to a non-technical stakeholder.
Your mission is to increase Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) by developing the predictive assets behind hyper-personalized CRM campaigns, retention strategies, and proactive churn reduction. You will own models end to end, from problem framing and feature engineering through training, validation, deployment, and ongoing performance monitoring, and ensure they run reliably in production rather than living in a notebook.
This role sits at the intersection of advanced analytics and commercial strategy and is critical to advancing SBH's Understand & Activate Customer agenda. You will work closely with Data Engineering, CRM, Marketing, and Merchandising partners, and will help mature our Databricks environment from a place where analysis happens into a platform that delivers repeatable, monitored, production-grade customer intelligence.

Ability to “connect the dots” across disparate data points to form a cohesive business recommendation. A self-starter who operates independently, seeks opportunities to scale and automate, is comfortable challenging the status quo, and can present findings credibly to non-technical senior leadership. Outstanding organizational skills and dedication to quality and integrity, with the ability to contribute effectively in a fast-paced environment.
This will be a hybrid role required to be onsite at the corporate office on specified days. The work environment generally involves everyday risks or discomforts which require normal safety precautions typical of such places as offices, meeting and training rooms, retail stores, and residences or commercial vehicles, e.g., use of safe work practices with office equipment, avoidance of trips and falls, observance of fire regulations and traffic signals, etc. The work area is adequately lit, heated, and ventilated.
The work is sedentary. Typically, the employee may sit comfortably to do the work. However, there may be some walking, standing, bending, and occasionally requires carrying, moving and setting up of computers, for example desktops, monitors, printers, and other small hardware in the testing lab.
We offer a competitive salary and outstanding benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, life Insurance, paid vacation and sick days, paid holidays, tuition reimbursement and 401(k) with company match. In addition, associates of SBH may take advantage of our in-house salon with complementary services and a varied selection of food options at our corporate center.
Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (“Sally”) through its affiliates is the world’s largest distributor of professional beauty supplies. Sally provides the channels that allow manufacturers of beauty supplies to reach customers, both professional and non-professional.
Sally Beauty Company, Inc. began as a one-store operation in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1964. The Company expanded slowly until the 1980s, when it began to grow rapidly through acquisition and new store openings. In 1982, Sally moved its corporate headquarters to Denton, Texas following the acquisition of a Denton-based chain.
In 1985, Sally acquired a major full-service (professional only) beauty supply distributor servicing the Midwestern United States. The growth of the full-service business led to the formation of the company now known as Beauty Systems Group LLC, focusing on distribution solely to the professional trade.
New store openings and acquisitions continue to guide Sally’s expansion. In 1987, Sally became an international company with the acquisition of an affiliate in the United Kingdom. Today, Sally and its affiliates operate over 4500 stores throughout the United States and the world. Our international operations now extend to the United Kingdom, continental Europe, Puerto Rico, Canada, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Mexico. Both Sally Beauty Supply and Beauty Systems Group have successful and growing online (e-commerce) businesses.
In 2006, Sally became a publicly held company with its shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Sally and its affiliates have long been industry leaders. Expertise in professional product merchandising, distribution and education provides the basis for a commanding presence in the global market. This, combined with strong domestic growth and international development, positions the companies for anticipated continuing success in future years.
All subsidiaries and affiliates share Sally’s customer-driven operating philosophy and vision.
