Data Scientist, Gtm

Anthropic Anthropic · AI Frontier · San Francisco, CA · Data Science & Analytics

This role is for a Data Scientist on the GTM team at Anthropic, focusing on driving data-informed decisions across the commercial customer lifecycle. The role involves owning measurement and analysis for customer acquisition, activation, expansion, and retention for a consumption-based AI platform. It requires partnering with analytics engineers, data scientists, and GTM leadership to translate complex commercial data into actionable strategy. The position emphasizes defining key metrics, building measurement frameworks, analyzing commercial and user data, developing hypotheses, applying causal inference methods, building statistical models, and presenting findings to stakeholders. While the company builds AI, this role is focused on the commercial/sales operations side, using AI tools and data to inform business strategy rather than directly building AI models or systems.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define key metrics, build measurement frameworks, and maintain core reporting to evaluate GTM success across segments and products
  2. Analyze commercial and user data to surface actionable insights, size opportunities, and influence roadmaps and go-to-market strategy
  3. Develop hypotheses and apply rigorous causal inference methods — controlled experiments, synthetic controls — to make clear, actionable recommendations
  4. Investigate anomalies, conduct root cause analyses, and provide data-driven guidance on priorities and decisions
  5. Build statistical models, optimization frameworks, and simulations to support and automate commercial decision-making processes
