REQUIREMENTS
We’re looking for a lead problem solver—someone who approaches data like a detective, chasing down the root cause of business challenges and turning insights into action. As Head of Data & Analytics, you’ll set the vision for how data powers decision-making across the company. You’ll tackle ambiguous questions, uncover hidden patterns, and lead a high-performance remote team to turn analysis into real-world impact.
Some of what you will be doing includes:
Leadership & Vision: Break down complex, high-impact business problems—like shifts in customer behavior or changes in product performance—and use data to get to the truth. Translate vague questions into clear, structured analyses that drive action.
Execution & Impact: Use data to solve high-impact business problems, structure ambiguous questions into clear analyses, and ensure insights translate into concrete actions. Work cross-functionally to diagnose challenges like customer retention trends and drive meaningful improvements.
Collaboration & Stakeholder Management: Use data to guide strategy and operations. Partner with teams across the company to improve customer retention, optimize marketing performance, reduce risk, and grow revenue.
Remote Team Leadership: Manage and mentor a distributed data team, ensuring accountability and motivation. Set clear success metrics, foster collaboration, and address performance challenges effectively.
The skills required for this role:
- Proven experience in leading data teams and developing a company-wide data strategy that aligns with business objectives.
- Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of using data to drive high-impact decisions.
Ability to navigate ambiguous business questions and structure analyses that lead to actionable insights.
- Experience effectively communicating data-driven insights to stakeholders at all levels, including executives with varying levels of data literacy.
- Demonstrated ability to build trust in data and handle disagreements, including when insights contradict leadership’s assumptions.
- Expertise in managing and motivating remote teams, setting clear expectations, and measuring success.
- Strong prioritization skills, balancing speed and accuracy when executing on data initiatives.
- Familiarity with data infrastructure, analytics tools, and best practices in scaling a data function within a fast-paced environment.

- Professional development budget: Enjoy an annual budget to deepen your expertise
