Your Role

We are hiring our first dedicated Head of Data and Analytics to centralize data insights and establish a single source of truth across the organization. This is a high impact role where you will design, build, and own the company’s internal data stack from the ground up. You’ll work closely with the executive team and functional leaders to bring clarity, consistency, and confidence to how the company uses data to operate and make decisions. If you enjoy building systems from zero, setting standards that scale, and acting as the bridge between business strategy and technical execution, this role is for you.

What you'll do

• Design and build the company’s first centralized data warehouse from the ground up, providing end-to-end data visibility and establishing a single source of truth across the business.
• Provide the executive team with the visibility required to manage the business while speeding up access to fundamental data needed.
• Deliver high-impact, priority dashboards for executives and key stakeholders, focusing on clarity, usability, and actionability.
• Build and own end-to-end ETL/ELT pipelines ingesting data from systems such as HubSpot, internal product/platform data, and other key sources.
• Define standardized data models, KPIs, and a company-wide data dictionary to ensure consistent reporting across teams.
• Establish data governance and security controls, including role-based access tiers, to ensure the data platform meets internal and external security standards.

What You'll need

• Proven experience building a data function from scratch in a startup or scale-up environment.
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or similar cloud data warehouses.
• Advanced SQL with strong data modeling and performance optimization skills.
• Working knowledge of Python for ETL, analysis, or automation.
• Strong prioritization skills and the confidence to focus on high-impact work.
• Ability to clearly communicate data concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Able to work independently, owning work end-to-end with little guidance.
• A practical and problem-solving mindset.
