Our products help people make powerful connections, discover exciting opportunities, build necessary skills, and gain valuable insights every day. We’re also committed to providing transformational opportunities for our own employees by investing in their growth. We aspire to create a culture that’s built on trust, care, inclusion, and fun – where everyone can succeed. Join us to transform the way the world works. _At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team._ _This role can be based in either our Sunnyvale, San Francisco, New York, or Chicago offices._ The Tech & Analytics team builds the analytical and automation foundation that powers LinkedIn's most important Go-to-Market decisions.

Our mission is to transform data into proactive insights and intelligent systems that guide LinkedIn's growth and efficiency. As the Tech Lead for GTM Applied AI & Analytics, you are the technical authority and chief architect for the next generation of our GTM data solutions. This is a hands-on leadership role for a "player-coach" who will spend a significant portion of their time architecting solutions, writing production-grade code, and mentoring a team of 3-4 data scientists and analytics engineers. You will be responsible for the end-to-end technical lifecycle of our most complex projects, from prototyping new AI-driven concepts to deploying scalable, automated systems. You will combine the analytical depth of a principal data scientist with the strategic storytelling needed to influence GTM leadership. Your primary goal is to architect and build the agentic workflows, predictive models, and automated systems that will fundamentally change how our GTM teams operate. Responsibilities + Architect & Build: Lead the hands-on design, development, and deployment of scalable data products, AI/ML models (e.g., customer health, pipeline risk, propensity to buy), and GenAI-powered agentic workflows. + Technical Strategy: Define the technical roadmap and architecture for the GTM Applied AI pillar, making key decisions on frameworks, tools, and MLOps practices. + End-to-End Automation: Write high-quality, production-ready Python and SQL to build and maintain automated data pipelines, complex analytics, and insight-delivery systems. + Applied AI Integration: Act as the subject matter expert in applying modern AI, LLMs, and ML techniques (e.g., RAG, fine-tuning) to solve concrete GTM business problems in partnership with central Data Science and Engineering teams. + Technical Mentorship: Mentor and develop a team of data scientists and engineers, setting a high bar for technical rigor, code quality, and engineering best practices through a "lead-by-example" approach. + Executive Storytelling: Translate highly complex technical concepts and model outputs into clear, concise, and actionable narratives for senior GTM and Operations leadership. + Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Data Science partners to operationalize and scale models from prototype to production, ensuring reliability and business impact.
