The role
We’re looking for a Staff Data Scientist (Pricing) to serve as the senior individual contributor driving the science, strategy, experimentation and AI deployment behind pricing and yield optimization at GoFundMe.

Candidates considered for this role will be located in the San Francisco Bay Area. There will be an in-office requirement of 3x a week.
- Own donation pricing and amount optimization end-to-end: Define the analytical strategy, modeling frameworks, and success metrics for pricing recommendations across product surfaces, balancing conversion, donation amounts, and long-term donor trust.
- Model human behavior using economics and AI: Apply economic theory, behavioral science, and machine learning to understand donor decision-making, estimate elasticity, and predict responses to changes in product design and choice architecture.
