Parallels has an immediate vacancy for this role.

Push the boundaries of tech. In your sweatpants.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Data Scientist to help us change the way the world works, with Parallels : anytime, anywhere, any-device productivity.

This role combines predictive modeling, funnel and revenue analysis, and rigorous experimentation to identify and prioritize the highest-impact opportunities.

Beyond analysis, this person acts as a thought partner to Product, Marketing, and Finance—bringing rigor, challenging assumptions, and driving measurable business outcomes.
