The Role
If you love helping organizations become more data-driven while teaching others how to use data – all in the name of earning and retaining more customers at every step of the customer lifecycle – then you’ll be a great fit for this role. As a Data & Analytics Manager, you'll guide our data team, which consists of a Senior Modern Data Stack Engineer, a Senior Analytics Engineer and two Data Analysts in serving data needs across the business. You’re not swayed by constraints, moving quickly, and navigating changing priorities. You have helped lead a data team through scaling data pipelines, dimensional modeling and transformation layers, assisting on the attribution and growth analytics, and ultimately setting a nimble company up to obtain insights and scale. It’ll involve creating partnerships across the org and helping level up both data integrity and insights. You’ll report to the VP of Operations.
You
You are an experienced data & analytics manager with a variety of skills and abilities allowing you to empower and coach your team to successful outcomes and impact in their role. You feel comfortable owning data platforms (Segment + Redshift+ Census) and ensuring data is readily available for consumption across the company.
