About the role

Director of Data Analytics leading embedded analytics across growth, product, markets, finance, risk, and institutional; defines analytics strategy, builds and guides a high-performing analytics organization, partners with business leaders, and translates data into actionable insights to influence strategy.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, hire, and develop a team of embedded analysts and data scientists across growth, product, markets, finance, risk, and institutional
  • Own the analytical standard including what makes an analysis rigorous, decision-ready, and honest about its assumptions
  • Partner with business leaders to set each function's analytical agenda, so your team works on what matters rather than on what was asked most loudly
  • Protect the embedded model. Analysts own outcomes inside their teams, not staffing a ticket queue
  • Build shared craft across a distributed team through review practices, experimentation standards, and a way for good work to travel between verticals
  • Partner with data platform leadership on the metrics layer, so definitions stay consistent and recurring analyses graduate into modeled datasets instead of living in notebooks
  • Own the analytics leadership sees, including company-level reporting and the numbers that go to the board and to investors
  • Develop analysts into senior individual contributors and future leads, and be straight with people about where they stand

Qualifications

  • 10+ years in analytics or data science, including 4+ years managing analysts or scientists
  • Expert SQL, and enough statistical grounding to review an experiment design or a causal claim and catch what is wrong with it
  • Experience running an embedded or matrixed analytics team, and a clear point of view on where that model breaks down
  • Credibility with senior business stakeholders — you can push back on an executive with evidence and keep the relationship intact
  • A track record of developing analysts, including promoting people and managing others out when it was the right call
  • Strong prioritization instincts across functions with genuinely competing demands and no obvious tiebreaker
  • A hiring track record — you have built a team, not only inherited one
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where business logic changes frequently and you need to keep pace
  • (Plus) Data science depth — experimentation design, causal inference, or predictive modeling
  • (Plus) Experience in a marketplace, exchange, or trading business where analytics sits close to the economics
  • (Plus) Experience in fintech, crypto, prediction markets, or other data-intensive financial products
