The Opportunity
We’re partnering with a rapidly growing, technology-driven organization to hire a Director of Analytics who will lead analytics strategy, analytics engineering, and customer-facing data products.
This is not a traditional BI leadership role.
We’re looking for an engineering-minded analytics leader who has grown from a background in software engineering, data engineering, or analytics engineering and still enjoys being close to architecture, data modeling, platform strategy, and technical decision-making.
You’ll lead a talented team while helping shape the future of the company’s analytics, reporting, AI, and customer-facing data product strategy.
What Makes This Role Unique
Own both internal analytics and customer-facing analytics products
Lead a highly visible analytics organization with strong executive sponsorship
Drive modernization across analytics architecture, self-service analytics, and AI-powered insights
Influence product, engineering, and data strategy at the leadership level
Opportunity to help define the future of analytics and AI within the organization
What You’ll Be Doing
Own the analytics vision, roadmap, and long-term strategy
Lead Analytics Engineering, Reporting, and Client Analytics teams
Partner closely with Product, Engineering, AI, and Executive Leadership
Drive adoption of scalable analytics architecture and engineering best practices
Define and govern semantic layers, business metrics, and self-service analytics capabilities
Scale customer-facing analytics products and embedded reporting experiences
Guide AI-enabled analytics initiatives, conversational analytics, and modern decision-support products
Mentor and develop a high-performing analytics organization
What We’re Looking For
Required Background
10+ years of experience in Software Engineering, Data Engineering, or Analytics Engineering
5+ years leading analytics, analytics engineering, or data engineering teams
Strong experience owning analytics strategy and delivery in SaaS or B2B environments
Proven success building and scaling analytics teams and data products
Technical Requirements
Strong expertise with Snowflake architecture, optimization, governance, and data modeling
Hands-on knowledge of Looker, including semantic layers, metric governance, LookML, and self-service analytics
Deep SQL expertise and strong understanding of modern analytics engineering principles
Experience with dimensional modeling, semantic modeling, dbt, and enterprise data architecture
Ability to lead technical discussions with engineers, architects, and executive stakeholders
Preferred Experience
Customer-facing analytics products, embedded analytics, or external reporting platforms
AI-powered analytics, conversational analytics, LLMs, or GenAI initiatives
Modern cloud data ecosystems including Snowflake, dbt, and cloud-native analytics platforms
Experience supporting Product, Revenue, Customer Success, and Executive stakeholders
Why Join
Lead a highly visible analytics function
Drive analytics modernization and AI initiatives
Own customer-facing and internal analytics products
Partner directly with executive leadership
Join a team investing heavily in analytics, data products, and AI
Strong growth trajectory with long-term leadership opportunities
If you’re an engineering-first analytics leader who loves building modern analytics platforms, scaling teams, and driving business impact through Snowflake, Looker, and data products, we’d love to connect.
