- About this role
- We are looking for an Experimentation Director to be Faire's authority on experimentation. Your mission is to increase the rigor of experimentation at Faire without sacrificing velocity. You'll own our experimentation methodology and principles
- raise the quality of how experiments are designed, run, read
- acted on across every team.

- a key partner to Strategy & Analytics, Engineering, Data Science
- Product on everything experimentation-related.
- What you’ll do
- Own experimentation methodology and principles to ensure accuracy and rigor across all experiments.
- Build and maintain Faire's experimentation OS, including experiment review processes and cross-company experiment tracking and visibility.
- Adapt our experiment methodology and operating system as velocity of experimentation increases substantially with AI.
- Partner with S&A, Engineering, Data Science, and Product to design and measure experiments and act as the default design partner and reviewer for high-stakes or methodologically complex experiments.
- Act as Faire's expert on causal inference in cases where we cannot run a true experiment, including helping other teams design and execute diff-in-diff, synthetic control, and other causal analyses.

- Qualifications
