Summary:
Yelp’s mission is to connect people with great local businesses. As a trusted source of information on local business, millions of people turn to Yelp every day to make decisions about where to spend their money - from where to eat, shop, or stay, to which home or local service provider to use, and beyond.
As part of the Consumer Marketing team, the Senior Growth Scientist will harness rigorous analytics, strategic partnership, and operational execution to fuel Yelp’s next phase of user growth. This high-impact role combines deep channel and user analysis, OKR ownership, funnel optimization, and creative data mining of Yelp’s vast data sets to accelerate scalable, predictable growth.
