About The Role
We’re looking for a Senior / Lead Data Scientist to join Cleo’s Marketing Analytics team (Organic + Brand).
You’ll be a primary analytics partner for our organic and brand functions, building the strategy and measurement foundations for channels including organic social, ASO, SEO, GEO, plus brand marketing. Your work will directly influence how we grow beyond paid, how we measure the impact of brand and content.
You’ll work day-to-day with organic marketers, brand and PMM and growth leadership to uncover insights, improve measurement frameworks, and shape channel and campaign strategy. This role is for someone who wants to define how Cleo does organic and brand-led growth at scale.
Why this role matters
Paid acquisition has been a core growth engine for Cleo. To build a more efficient and durable growth model, we’re investing heavily in organic and brand channels. You’ll be central to that shift – building the measurement, attribution and performance frameworks that increase our organic and owned contribution, make brand investment smarter. SEO measurement at Cleo is close to greenfield – you’ll build it from the ground up. You’ll also define how we measure the emerging channel of Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) – visibility within ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI Overviews.
What you'll be doing
Organic & owned channel analytics
You’ll sit within Cleo’s Data organisation – a 60-person team of Analysts and Data Scientists who partner across product and growth. You’ll have peers working on experimentation, pricing, lifecycle and marketing analytics, and a manager who cares about your development through regular feedback, mentoring and dedicated time for learning.
What we're looking for
We strongly encourage applications from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
If there’s anything we can do to accommodate your specific situation, please let us know.
