About this position

We are seeking a highly detail-oriented Data Scientist with strong analytical skills and the ability to understand both the granular details and the broader business context. This role supports high-impact investigative and litigation-driven work, partnering closely with cross-functional teams to provide data insights in response to legal inquiries, regulatory investigations, and internal reviews.

The ideal candidate has direct experience contributing to data-heavy legal, litigation, or economic consulting projects and thrives in a fast-paced, reactive environment.

Job Responsibilities

• Support reactive legal and regulatory requests by analyzing integrity, ads, and platform data.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Integrity, Product, Engineering, and other internal partners to gather data, interpret findings, and support investigations.
• Execute structured analyses to answer complex questions related to litigation, compliance, regulatory response, and internal risk.
• Translate ambiguous or evolving legal questions into clear analytical approaches.
• Produce well-documented, reproducible work that can be reviewed and validated by legal partners.
• Perform quality checks to ensure accuracy, consistency, and defensibility of data before delivery.
• Communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support ongoing improvements in data processes, documentation, and cross-functional workflows.

Skills/Requirements

• 2–10 years of professional experience, with at least 2 years contributing to data science projects involving legal, litigation, or economic consulting.
• Strong analytical skills with “eagle-eye” attention to detail and the ability to validate, sanity-check, and stress-test data.
• Ability to think strategically and understand the broader business and legal implications behind the data.
• Hands-on experience with SQL and data analysis in large-scale environments.
• Proficiency with Python or R for data manipulation and statistical analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to work in reactive, fast-paced environments where priorities shift based on legal or regulatory needs.
• Strong communication skills, especially in translating complex data into clear, defensible narratives for legal stakeholders.
• A steady project history. Not looking for candidates who briefly touch projects before moving on.
