About the Team:
Data is core to our growing business and has been ingrained in the company's DNA since its founding. As a member of the Data Analytics team, you will partner closely with Product, Engineering, and other business stakeholders to identify opportunities where machine learning, AI, and advanced analytics can create meaningful customer and business value.
The Data Science team develops machine learning solutions, recommendation systems, experimentation frameworks, and AI-powered capabilities that directly influence how customers discover, engage with, and rent and buy inventory on Rent the Runway. Our work spans personalization, predictive modeling, decision systems, and intelligent customer experiences.
As RTR continues investing in personalization and AI, Data Science plays a critical role in bringing new customer experiences to life - from recommendation engines and intelligent styling and fit experiences to future agent-driven and AI-powered products.
About the Job:
We are looking for a hands-on Senior Data Science Manager to lead our growing Data Science function while remaining deeply involved in solving high-impact machine learning problems. While this role will initially focus on personalization, recommendation systems, and AI-powered customer experiences, you will also have the opportunity to contribute across a broad range of high-impact machine learning initiatives as business priorities evolve.
As the technical leader and manager of the Data Science team, you will partner closely with Product, Engineering, and business stakeholders to translate ambiguous business problems into scalable, production-ready machine learning solutions that directly improve customer experience and business outcomes. You will provide technical direction, mentor Data Scientists, help prioritize the team's work, and help shape the long-term evolution of Data Science at Rent the Runway.
