Head of Data Science

We are looking for a Head of Data Science to build Paddle's data science capability from the ground up. Our Merchant of Record model gives us a data position no PSP or billing provider has: subscription and pricing context alongside granular payment-outcome data, across thousands of software businesses. This role exists to turn that into economic value by putting machine learning and agentic systems into production.

The mandate is deliberately narrow and deliberately ambitious: data science at Paddle owns automated decisioning inside the product , traditional machine learning and agentic systems alike , not decision-support analytics.
