The work
Get one useful coaching experience credible from end to end before expanding coverage. You will lead the people who help Lucy understand work, organize useful knowledge and measure whether its coaching helps. This is a hands-on people-management role for a small scientific team, combining technical judgment with hiring, feedback and focused delivery.
The early challenge is to make one useful coaching experience credible end to end. That requires sound inference, independent evaluation and honest outcome measurement before expanding coverage.
What you will own
- Manage and develop the assigned science and intelligence team through clear expectations, regular feedback, hiring and thoughtful allocation of work.
- Translate Product's selected outcomes into a bounded scientific work plan across inference, knowledge, evaluation, behavioral research and analytics. Identify dependencies and choose simple, testable baselines.
- Set standards for reproducibility, data provenance, uncertainty and measurement validity. Protect independent evaluation and make unresolved evidence gaps visible during release decisions.
- Review experiments and customer claims with the relevant specialists. Distinguish model correctness, intervention effectiveness and business outcomes, and require evidence appropriate to each.
- Contribute hands-on work where needed, with explicit time allocation. Transfer those duties as specialists join and protect time for management; one person cannot supply several full-time roles.
Your partners
Travis leads Product unless he delegates a defined scope. Product Managers own prioritization and product acceptance. Engineering leaders own production delivery; you coordinate scientific quality and the assigned staff. Partner with UX Research and field teams for grounded work examples, and with Security on permitted data use. A future Director position does not replace the need for adequate Manager coverage today.
What you bring
You have developed people and delivered applied science or data products with noisy real-world inputs. Bring hands-on modeling or measurement experience, strong experimental judgment and examples of making scope smaller when evidence or capacity required it. We value clear written decisions, constructive scientific challenge and the ability to support different disciplines without pretending to be every specialist.
Your first 90 days
Understand the people, available evidence and first product slice. Establish ownership, baseline quality criteria and a focused delivery plan. Record management and hands-on allocations, create independent evaluation coverage and agree handoffs as staffing changes. Deliver a candid review of what is supported, what needs another experiment and where hiring would resolve sustained workload.
