Full Job Description

## Description Fliff unpacks sports gaming into social, free-to-play games for all types of sports fans. We've built a social sports gaming experience that allows users to compete for leaderboard positioning, to achieve badges and build their status within the game. We are pioneering play-for-fun sports gaming, with our flagship social sportsbook experience that includes sweepstakes promotions and loyalty rewards. We provide sports fans with fun, engaging, and free-to-play alternatives to real money gaming. Fliff is redefining the sports gaming experience by blending the fun of social play with the thrill of real-money competition. What began as a pioneering social sportsbook has evolved into a multi-vertical platform that is the fastest-growing brand in sports gaming. As we continue to expand, we’re building a world-class ecosystem of sports gaming experiences that span social, sweepstakes, and real-money formats, giving every type of fan a way to play, compete, and connect.   The Role:  We're hiring a Senior Data Scientist to embed within the marketing and growth function. You'll be the analytical backbone of how we acquire, retain, and grow our user base — building the models, dashboards, and analyses that drive smarter spend, sharper targeting, and a deeper understanding of our players. A core part of this role will be measuring the true impact of our marketing and promotional investments: not just short-term lifts, but the long-term effect on player behavior, retention, and lifetime value. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, modeling, and storytelling. You'll work directly with marketing, product, and finance leaders to turn raw behavioral and campaign data into decisions that move the business — and you'll own a problem end-to-end, from pulling and cleaning the data, to building the model, to presenting the insight to stakeholders. ## Key Responsibilities Build and maintain predictive models that drive marketing strategy, including player L
