About this role

Role Overview

LaunchDarkly is seeking a Head of Experimentation to direct product strategy and commercial outcomes for the experimentation pillar in a remote, US-based position. This senior leadership role suits an experienced product executive ready to position the company as the definitive experimentation platform for an AI-accelerated world.

Key Responsibilities

Own the entire experimentation pillar, directing product strategy, roadmap execution, and commercial success in collaboration with engineering and design peers.
Target high-maturity buyers by establishing technical confidence with senior data scientists and data-focused product managers.
Expand warehouse-native capabilities across major data warehouses and query layers, ensuring parity on analysis modes, variance reduction, and ratio metrics.
Establish experimentation as the measurement layer of the AI software development life cycle, building closed loops from offline evaluation to production testing and agent feedback.
Operate a high-performing function by running disciplined roadmaps, improving AI-assisted engineering productivity, and serving as the external face of the category.

Requirements

Senior product leadership background, such as General Manager or Vice President, with a history of overseeing products driven by statistical rigor and data infrastructure.
Deep fluency in experimentation methodology, including causal inference, sequential testing, exposure design, multi-armed bandits, and multi-objective metrics.
Proven credibility with data science leaders and experimentation specialists, along with the ability to recruit top-tier talent.
Experience leading cross-functional teams that include engineering, design, and data science.
Ability to set multi-quarter roadmaps, allocate investments, and report directly to executive leadership and the board of directors.

Nice to Have

Experience building or scaling experimentation as core infrastructure rather than a secondary analytics capability.
Demonstrated success winning competitive evaluations against sophisticated data-science organizations.
Direct experience shipping warehouse-native data products that operate directly against customer data infrastructure.

Skills and Tools

Causal inference and variance reduction techniques
Sequential testing and exposure design
Multi-armed bandits and composite metrics
Warehouse-native data products and analysis layers
AI-native primitives and evaluation systems
