What this job asks for AI summary
A Director-level data science leadership role owning the full member journey analytics at a digital nutrition-care platform — covering marketing funnel, product analytics, lifecycle, and retention. The role combines hands-on technical work (dbt modeling, causal inference, predictive modeling, attribution) with executive stakeholder partnership and management of a small team. Candidates should be equally comfortable building production data models and presenting funnel diagnostics to C-suite leaders.

Why we read it this way (8)
The role title is 'Director, Member Data Science' with no seniority level word in the title itself, but the scope — executive-facing ownership of a company-level domain, 12+ years required, 4+ years leading teams, reporting to a VP — supports Principal-level classification.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is heavily hands-on data science (causal inference, predictive modeling, dbt, Python) but also leads a team with direct reports, which could point to 11-3021. The posting explicitly states this is 'not a pure people-management seat' and expects the person to stay hands-on, so 15-2051 is the primary code with 11-3021 as the runner-up.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as preferred ('ideally in a quantitative field') and a Master's is described as 'a plus' — neither is a hard requirement, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Omni and the semantic/context-engineering work are described in the requirements section with firm language ('core craft expectation'), so Omni is marked required. Looker is listed as an equivalent alternative.
Claude/Claude Code and AI-native tooling are described with firm language ('Proven fluency… used in production analytical workflows') in the requirements block; alternatives include Cursor, Hex AI Agent, and Omni AI as named equivalents.
Zoom Contact Center (ZCC) experience is explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting, so it is marked preferred.
Healthcare/Medicaid domain experience and marketplace business model experience are explicitly called 'a plus but not required' — omitted from skills as they name no specific technology or tool.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
