The Opportunity
DAT's Science organization is seeking an Applied Science Manager to lead our Marketplace & Decision Optimization team. This team designs, builds, and calibrates the decision systems that shape how carriers discover loads, how brokers and carriers negotiate, and how DAT's marketplace clears. You will lead a group of talented applied scientists working on recommendation systems for carrier engagement, auction design, and automated offer negotiation. You will also help shape a new remit for the team: business decision optimization. DAT already grounds its most consequential commercial decisions in data, from pricing and packaging to product investment and growth strategy across our subscription and marketplace businesses. We want to bring Science deeper into those decisions, enriching them with causal framing and rigorous experimentation, and strengthening our ability to learn from every decision we make.
