About the role

Data Lead at Stepful responsible for owning the data function—infrastructure, analytics, and insights across the company—leading a team of three data analysts and engineers, while remaining hands-on in coding and modeling to drive strategic decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of three data analysts and engineers, setting the standard for rigor and craft
  • Own Stepful's data platform end to end — pipelines, warehouse, transformation layer, and BI tooling — and its reliability and scalability
  • Define and maintain the company's core metrics across the student journey (enrollment, engagement, completion, certification, placement) and business performance (CAC, LTV, retention)
  • Build dashboards and self-serve analytics that put trustworthy data in every team's hands
  • Partner with Growth and Product on experimentation — design, instrumentation, and analysis of A/B tests
  • Deliver deep-dive analyses that shape strategic decisions, from program design to budget allocation
  • Stay hands-on: write production SQL and Python, review your team's work, and take on the hardest technical problems yourself
  • Establish data governance and quality practices that scale with the company

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of data experience across analytics and data engineering, with at least 2+ years managing a team
  • Proven success as a player-coach — you set direction and manage people while still shipping your own work
  • Expert-level SQL and strong Python, with hands-on experience across the modern data stack (e.g., dbt, Snowflake/BigQuery, Airflow, Looker/Metabase)
  • Strong product and business sense — you connect data work to outcomes, not just deliverables
  • Experience designing and analyzing experiments in a high-growth environment
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to make complex findings clear to non-technical stakeholders
