We are looking for a high-impact Senior Data Scientist to be the analytical superpower behind our new direct-to-consumer mental health platform. In a 0→1 environment, data isn't just for reporting—it’s the compass. You will be responsible for transforming raw user behavior into actionable growth strategies, ensuring every experiment we run is grounded in statistical rigor.As the first dedicated data hire for our consumer team, you will have a "blank canvas" to define our data culture. You will partner directly with Product, Engineering, and Growth to build our measurement framework from scratch, uncover the "Aha!" moments in the user journey, and pull the core business levers that will drive our mission to scale.

The consumer team is a newly formed team that is building the future of D2C mental health from scratch. The team is a lean, fast-moving team tasked with taking our newest product from stealth to launch within the next few months. We’re currently in the 'pre-launch' phase, looking for builders who thrive in ambiguity and want the autonomy to help drive growth for the product from day zero.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Experimentation Strategy: Own the end-to-end testing framework. You will design, execute, and analyze A/B tests that define our growth playbook.
  • Growth Modeling: Build predictive models for user retention and LTV. You’ll identify the user behaviors that lead to long-term business growth.
  • Strategic Partnership: Act as a "Product Manager of Data," translating complex analytical findings into clear, high-stakes recommendations for consumer leadership.
  • Funnel Optimization: Deep-dive into the acquisition and onboarding funnels to identify friction points and opportunities for viral loops.
  • AI & Future-Proofing: Explore how AI and machine learning can be leveraged to personalize user experiences and automate growth workflows.

What you need to have:

  • 5+ Years of Experience: Proven track record in Data Science, specifically within B2C/Consumer Growth or high-growth tech environments.
  • Technical Breadth: Expert-level SQL and Python/R. You are comfortable with the "full stack" of data, from ETL pipelines (dbt, Snowflake/BigQuery) to visualization (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Looker).
  • Statistical Rigor: A deep understanding of hypothesis testing, causal inference, and how to find truth in noisy, early-stage data.
  • The 0→1 Mindset: You aren't afraid of messy data. You enjoy the challenge of building infrastructure while simultaneously delivering high-value insights.
  • Business Intuition: You understand the "why" behind the "what." You can connect a drop in a conversion metric to a specific user pain point.
  • High Agency: As the first data hire, you don't wait for a backlog. You proactively find the biggest gaps in our knowledge and fill them.

To ensure you feel good solving a big Human problem, we offer:

  • A stimulating, fast-paced environment with lots of room for creativity.
  • A bright future at a promising high-tech startup company.
  • Career development and growth, with a competitive salary.
  • The opportunity to work with a talented team and to add real value to an innovative solution with the potential to change the future of healthcare.
  • A flexible environment where you can control your hours (remotely) with unlimited vacation.
  • Access to our health and well-being program (digital therapist sessions).
  • Remote or Hybrid work policy.

About Sword Health

Sword is building the future of healthcare through AI Care, a field we pioneered that brings together Artificial Intelligence and Clinical Experts to tackle healthcare’s biggest bottlenecks - access, outcomes, and cost. The result is a world where clinicians are able to focus on what they do best - handling nuance, providing empathy, and delivering the human touch -, while AI focuses on delivering hyper-personalized treatment programs, ensuring scalability, and being available 24/7 so that healthcare meets the needs of the patient, not the other way around.

Our platform spans the full continuum of care, from predicting and preventing pain, to treating physical and mental health, and optimizing healthcare operations.

We are trusted by over 2,000 organizations globally, across employers, health plans, and governments, having helped our clients generate over $1 billion in healthcare savings, largely by avoiding unnecessary procedures, such as surgeries, imaging, ER visits, and others.

We’re backed by some of the world’s most seasoned investors, such as Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, Founders Fund and others, and currently valued at $4B.

We believe in - and are building toward - a world where AI Care is within arm’s reach of every human. If this mission inspires you, join us in building that future: https://swordhealth.com/company/careers.
