Decision Scientist

Ibotta is seeking a Principal Decision Scientist, Strategic Partner Analytics to join our Publisher Insights team and contribute to our mission to Make Every Purchase Rewarding. Our third-party publishers are the retailers and platforms, including Walmart, 7-Eleven, Uber, and DoorDash, that offer Ibotta-powered rewards to their own customers through the Ibotta Performance Network (IPN). In this role, you will be a senior individual contributor who leads and elevates the people around you through the delivery of best-in-class analytics solutions and actionable insights for these partners. This is an opportunity to leverage your expertise and consultative instincts to make an outsized impact on our most important partner relationships and drive revenue growth.

 

The ideal candidate brings a rare combination: a hands-on analytics skill set, a consultative mindset, and the presence to operate as a trusted advisor to senior partner stakeholders. You will own the full arc of analytical work, from proactive insight generation and measurement methodology to executive and C-suite-level storytelling, and serve as a thought leader both internally and externally. You will also drive the evolution of how we deliver analytics to our publisher partners, moving from reactive support to a proactive, insight-driven, and increasingly automated approach to measuring and improving partner and network performance.

 

This position is located in Denver, Colorado as a hybrid position requiring 3 days in office (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). Candidates must live in the United States.

Not based in Denver? We will offer a relocation bonus to help make your move to the Mile High City a smooth one.

 

What you will be doing

• Serve as the trusted analytics advisor to Ibotta's strategic publisher partners, independently owning the analytics relationship with partner executives in close partnership with the Strategic Partner Management (SPM) team.

• Build and own the analytics foundation for our publisher network: per-publisher and network-level scorecards and reporting, built on KPI definitions aligned with Finance and SPM.

• Own the analytical narrative for publisher business reviews and deep dives. Diagnose what drove performance and turn it into clear "So What / Now What" recommendations for partners and Ibotta, for technical and non-technical audiences.

• Lead partner-facing measurement: design tests and case studies, build measurement models as partners share data (including through clean rooms), and defend our methodology with partner analytics teams.
