We’re just getting started—join us on our journey to make mental healthcare accessible to everyone, everywhere. We’re looking for a new leader in our data organization to guide and grow our product data science team at Spring Health. This is primarily a coach role: you’ll spend a majority of your time on leadership, team enablement, and cross-functional strategy, with the opportunity to get hands-on with strategy and analysis for the most critical initiatives.

You will lead product data science across our R&D organization, spanning both our member-facing and provider-facing experiences, with a focus on discovering growth opportunities through experimentation and enabling the broader R&D team to execute on them. You’ll help refine and operationalize our metric tree, with a particular focus on acquisition and activation across the full ecosystem of how members find care and how providers deliver it. Your work will help more people who need care successfully get into and stay in care long enough to get better, in line with our mission to remove all barriers to mental health.

What you’ll be doingWork with R&D leaders to set the vision for how product data science drives growth, especially in our acquisition and activation funnels. This includes how we use experimentation, causal inference, and behavioral analysis to identify and prioritize the most impactful opportunities.

Partner with Product, Design, and other R&D teams to refine and align on our metric tree, ensuring we are focused on the right measures of success and can clearly see the impact of our work. Design and continuously refine how the product data science team operates within R&D: roles and responsibilities, collaboration models, team rituals, and how we partner with other data and R&D teams. Manage and develop a team of data scientists supporting multiple areas within R&D.

This includes 1:1s, performance reviews, feedback, and clear growth paths that build both technical and product/strategy skills. Work with your team and cross-functional partners to design and maintain experimentation and measurement frameworks (e. g.

, clear hypotheses, guardrail metrics, success criteria) that can be reused across R&D and make it easier to run high-quality tests. Collaborate with Data Analytics and Analytics Engineering to ensure that our metric tree and core growth KPIs are implemented consistently in our data models, documented clearly, and easily accessible across the company. What success looks like in this role:Your team regularly identifies high-quality growth opportunities through experimentation and analysis, and partners with R&D to execute on them, leading to meaningful improvements in key product and member outcomes.

Experimentation continues to grow as a core part of how R&D operates: tests are well-designed, results are clear and actionable, and learnings are documented and reused across teams. Your data scientists grow in both impact and independence: they are trusted partners to their stakeholders, they take on increasingly strategic work, and they help shape roadmaps rather than only responding to requests. What we expect from youYou are passionate about changing the face of mental health care and Spring Health’s mission to remove all barriers to mental health resonates with you.
