Data Science Manager, WhatsApp Growth
Menlo Park, California, US
Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started.
WhatsApp Data Science is looking for an experienced manager to lead our Growth Data Science team, advancing our understanding of trends in users behavior to influence strategy, identify opportunities to drive growth, and execute on projects by partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver long-term impact. WhatsApp Growth has lean teams that take outsized ownership and the scope/impact per person is typically larger than equivalent teams at Meta. The work is composed of a few different areas: US Growth, Access/SMS, Global Growth and cross-Meta features. We are in the midst of advancing our approach to analytics and becoming an increasingly data-informed organization. We're looking for someone who can provide transformational leadership, institute new methodologies, and shape a healthy focus on data. You can be expected to build the growth playbook for WhatsApp, getting into the weeds of growth tactics as well as zooming out to the big picture of the overall strategy and approach. WhatsApp wants to become the the most preferred messaging app in several large markets. To get there, we need a capable data leader to bring data to find the biggest opportunities for growth, help us increase velocity, and ultimately get millions more people onto Whatsapp.
