StubHub is on a mission to redefine the live event experience on a global scale. Whether someone is looking to attend their first event or their hundredth, we're here to delight them all the way from the moment they start looking for a ticket until they step through the gate. The same goes for our sellers. From fans selling a single ticket to the promoters of a worldwide stadium tour, we want StubHub to be the safest, most convenient way to offer a ticket to the millions of fans who browse our platform around the world.
The Data Science team, a part of the broader StubHub Data organization, is looking for an experienced, senior-level Data Science Manager to lead a growing team (currently 6, ranging from entry level DS to Staff+) that covers a wide range of data science disciplines.
StubHub is the largest secondary ticketing marketplace in the world, generating massive amounts of consumer data that are leveraged to tackle many unique and interesting predictive and inference problems across user acquisition, product recommendations, pricing optimization, ticket fulfillment mitigation, and business forecasting.

As a senior leader on this team, you will be responsible for shaping and realizing that vision.
