Title: Principal Data Scientist, Platform Monetization

We are hiring a Principal Data Scientist to lead the data efforts to form Slack monetization strategy and execution from the agentic platform point of view. The Platform ecosystem is a critical component of Slack's strategy to become the place where work happens. It enables users to truly customize Slack and integrate their everyday tools to streamline and speed up work. At the same time, this domain connects with corporate sales and business and strategic customer strategy and directly impacts the company's topline performance.

In this leadership role, you will work closely with the Platform product organization to understand and improve the product experience of app developers and users. As Slack builds out its next generation of Platform capabilities, you'll lead the efforts on unearthing insights and building a complete picture of what users build and how they engage with agents and with each other on the Slack platform. At the same time, you will partner closely with go-to-market (GTM) teams to answer Slack's highest-impact business questions. Slack has a positive, diverse, and supportive culture—we look for people who are curious, inventive, and work to be a little better every single day. In our work together we aim to be smart, humble, hardworking and, above all, collaborative.
