Where are the new data science teams?

Which of them are building the whole data team at once?

Why does a first data scientist hire matter if you sell to them?

Analytics hires buy BI, product-analytics, experimentation and notebook tools. The weeks around the hire are when those decisions get made, which makes the job post a timely, specific reason to reach out. It is a timing signal, not proof of budget.

FAQ

How do you know it is their first data scientist hire?

RoleDawn keeps the history of every role family each company has posted on its own careers page. "New on their board" means a Data Science & Analytics role appeared on a board where we had already recorded postings and had never seen that family. "Likely new team · inferred" is an estimate for boards we only recently started tracking. Neither is proof the company never had the role, and a posting is not proof of budget.

Where does the data come from?

Job postings that companies publish on their own Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee and Workday boards. No LinkedIn scraping and no personal contact data. Staffing agencies and intern, temporary or contractor roles are left out.

Is this list free?

Yes. This page and the live list at roledawn.com/first-hire/data-analytics are public with no signup. A RoleDawn subscription (flat $49 / $99 / $199 per month, 14-day free trial, no card) sends new matches to Slack or email every morning.

How often is it updated?

Every tracked careers page is re-read about once a day and this page is rebuilt from the latest data. The "Updated" date at the top shows when.
