About the Role

At Tripadvisor Experiences, the only thing we love more than travel is data. We slice it, we dice it, and we use it to empower our decision-making. 

As a Product Data Scientist, you’ll be the analytical backbone of one or more product pods. You’ll own measurement and reporting, support experimentation, and surface the insights that drive product decisions — while actively developing your skills in more advanced analytics methods. This is a role for someone with strong foundational data science skills who is energised by the opportunity to grow.

What You’ll Do

Experimentation

• Design and analyse A/B tests across Viator’s marketplace, applying sound statistical methods to interpret results and support confident decision-making
• Champion experimentation best practices: power calculations, guardrail metrics, and multiple testing corrections.
• Develop your mastery of causal inference and advanced experimentation techniques (e.g., difference-in-differences, propensity scoring, synthetic controls) as you apply them to answer questions that can't be randomized — such as measuring the impact of pricing changes on supplier retention or the long-term effect of personalization on traveler LTV.

Strategic Analysis & Measurement

• Own the measurement framework for your product area: define key metrics, build the instrumentation to track them, and surface insights that move the needle.
• Conduct exploratory analyses and deep dives into our data, using various data science approaches, to inform product decisions; for example, using tree-based or regression modeling to identify signals of high LTV
• Enable self-service through scalable datasets, metrics, dashboards and reporting frameworks
• Translate analytical outputs into actionable insights and clear product recommendations: not just ‘here’s the data,’ but ‘here’s what it means for the next sprint and how we should test it.’

Stakeholder Management & Communication

• Act as a thought partner with product managers and engineers to ensure the right data questions are being asked 
• Translate analyses into clear narratives that are accessible to non-technical audiences — emphasising actionable insights and ‘so what’ over technical detail.
• Be a champion of unbiased, rigorous analysis — including when the data doesn’t support a stakeholder’s hypothesis; willingness to be the voice of inconvenient truths is a core expectation of this role.

What You’ll Bring

• Several years in a data science, analytics, or quantitative research role at a data-driven organization; strong product analysts who are actively upskilling in data science methods are encouraged to apply
• Advanced SQL skills and hands-on experience querying and manipulating large datasets
• Proficiency with data visualisation tools (Tableau, Looker or equivalent) 
• Experience with the full A/B testing process, from test design to results interpretation
• Some proficiency in Python for analysis, experimentation and exploratory modeling
• A track record of using data insights to influence product or business decisions
• Comfort with ambiguity: you can define a question when it isn’t handed to you, and you’re energised by incomplete information rather than paralysed by it
• A growth mindset: you’re actively upskilling in more advanced analytics methods and always willing to learn new tools and techniques

Nice to Have

• Exposure to more advanced statistical methods and causal inference techniques — e.g.  propensity scoring, synthetic controls, difference-in-differences, Bayesian approaches 
• Familiarity with LLMs or NLP tooling for analytics use cases (e.g., content classification, dataset enrichment)
• Experience in travel or e-commerce; understanding of two-sided marketplace dynamics, geo-based demand variation, or supplier/consumer trade-offs
