We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace - a place where we can each be ourselves and do the best work of our lives. At Tracksuit we consider a unique perspective, diverse experience and a growth mindset to be of greater value than ticking every box on an JD. If you think you have what it takes but don’t have the exact experience we’ve set out, please still get in touch and apply. We’d love to chat!
At Tracksuit, we provide beautiful, radically affordable, always-on brand tracking which is easy to use compared to traditional methods. We recognise that sounds like a ton of buzzwords for marketers, so what it really means is that we did over 50,000 surveys last month to find out what real humans think and feel about the world’s best brands and their competitors. Check us out here: www.gotracksuit.com 🙌
Data is Tracksuit’s moat: it’s the core of our product and integral to everything we do. We’re looking for an experienced Senior Data Scientist to amplify the value of our data and help us become the common language to measure, understand and communicate the vale of brand building.
As our Senior Data Scientist, you’ll be a critical part of our survey team, working with product managers, engineers, data scientists, and survey experts to scale our survey operation while maintaining world-class data quality.
We think this role is exciting because:
As one of Australasia's fastest growing startups, we've hand-picked a world-class team of kind, ambitious, generous, and smart humans. You’ll get to join and experience life at one the fastest-growing startup in New Zealand & Australia while we are still in hyper growth phase.
We’re a tight-knit, supportive, and ambitious team, driven to empower companies to use brand to drive success. Our culture thrives on complete transparency, trust, learning, and constant development and improvement.
Underpinning the experience are our great benefits, including:
⦿ Compensation: Competitive market rate remuneration, which is reviewed twice annually. Our radically transparent compensation policy ensures that salaries are fair across the entire team.
⦿ Employee Share Option Program (ESOP): So that everyone on the team has a share in Tracksuit’s success.
⦿ Progressive health and wellness benefits: Including an annual wellness bonus, access to a premium EAP platform, and 6 weeks of paid annual leave.
⦿ Generous parental benefits: 12 weeks’ paid parental leave for either caregiver, additional sick leave for IVF, gradual return to work.
⦿ A $1000 personal L&D budget for each Trackstar, plus additional growth opportunities including mentorships, speaking engagements, and travel.
⦿ Flexible working: We have beautiful offices in Auckland, Sydney, London, and New York. We are office first but offer flexibility day to day.
But don’t take our word for it! You’ll be joining the:

Most importantly, when you join, you’ll receive an epic Tracksuit which reflects our vibe. We are built for speed and comfort, we're fun and informal, and we're practical and ready for anything.
🐾 FYI - We’re pet-friendly in principle and practice - with the occasional four-legged visitor adding to the charm, not the chaos.
Please note: This role is based in Auckland, NZ & requires you to work from our vibrant office space. With flexibility to work from home, we trust you to choose the balance that empowers you & your team to achieve their goals.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
We practice transparent compensation at Tracksuit, which means we put a real focus on fair compensation for our people and their roles. We run comprehensive full-cycle comp reviews annually, as well as rolling promotions when you've levelled up. Your salary is supplemented with our best-in-class benefits package, as well as generous ESOP.
