Position Summary:
We are seeking an experienced Senior Data Scientist – Product & Business Analytics to join the Singapore team. This is a highly business-facing analytics role at the intersection of Data Analytics, Product Analytics, Decision Science, and Business Strategy. You will collaborate closely with Product and Business teams across community, commercialization, and e-commerce, using rigorous quantitative analysis to answer complex business questions and directly influence product and strategic decisions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead complex data analysis to support product, commercial, and strategic decision-making.
- Develop a deep understanding of the company’s community, commercialization, and e-commerce businesses.
- Analyse user behaviour, product performance, and business trends to uncover growth opportunities and diagnose complex problems.

- Establish rigorous measurement, quantification, and attribution frameworks to understand the true impact of product and business initiatives.
- Design analytical approaches to identify the underlying drivers behind changes in key product and business metrics.
- Translate complex analytical findings into clear, actionable recommendations for Product and Business stakeholders.
- Build and evolve business data systems, metrics, and analytical frameworks that improve how data is used across the organisation.
- Develop scalable analytical capabilities, rather than relying solely on one-off analysis.
- Combine internal platform data with industry data, market perspectives, and external trends to generate strategic-level insights.
- Partner closely with Product, Business, and other cross-functional stakeholders to influence both short-term execution and longer-term business direction.
- Leverage modern AI tools to build and improve end-to-end analytical workflows.

- Strong experience working within consumer internet, technology, or other data-intensive product environments.
- Strong commercial and product instincts, with the ability to understand the business context behind the numbers.
- Excellent quantitative, statistical, and analytical foundations.
- Experience applying rigorous approaches to measurement, attribution, and impact analysis.
- Ability to translate ambiguous product or business questions into structured analytical problems.
- Strong experience identifying the underlying drivers behind changes in user, product, or commercial performance.
- Experience building metrics, analytical frameworks, or reusable business data capabilities.
- Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence Product, Business, and senior cross-functional stakeholders.
- Ability to communicate complex analytical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Comfortable operating with significant ownership within a fast-moving consumer technology environment.

- Candidates who have used rigorous analytical methodologies to influence product strategy, experimentation, growth, monetization, or commercial decision-making will be particularly relevant.
Role Clarification:
- This is not primarily an ML engineering or model-development role.
- The focus is on using data, statistical thinking, and rigorous analytical methodologies to understand users, products, and businesses, establish scientific measurement capabilities, and influence real-world decision-making.
- This is not a traditional reporting or dashboarding position.
- The ideal candidate is capable of moving through the full analytical journey: What happened? → Why did it happen? → How do we rigorously measure the impact? → What should the business do next?
Language Requirement:
- Fluent Mandarin Chinese and English are mandatory for this position.
