Zusammenfassung

Xelix in London is seeking a Head of BI & Data to build and lead our new BI/Data team, initially reporting to the CTO. You’ll own the data lake, data warehouse and metrics that every team and data product relies on.

You’ll hire Data/Analytics Engineers, set governance, and ensure AI readiness while collaborating with Finance, RevOps, Product and Engineering to drive value and scale the data platform.

Qualifikationen

• Experience building or leading a data team in a B2B SaaS or fintech company, ideally as the first data leader
• Hands-on depth in the modern data stack: Snowflake or similar, dbt, managed ingestion (Fivetran, Airbyte) and a BI tool such as Metabase, Omni, Looker or Power BI
• Strong SQL and data modelling; you're happy to build hands-on in year one
• A track record of getting business teams to agree on metric definitions and actually use them
• Practical experience with AI in data work, such as AI-assisted pipeline development, natural-language analytics on a semantic layer, or AI evaluation data
• Clear communication with senior stakeholders, from leadership and board reporting to engineers

Aufgaben

• Build and lead the BI / Data team: hire a Data Engineer and an Analytics Engineer, and shape how the team works with Finance, RevOps, Commercial, Product, Engineering and Services
• Own the data platform end to end: data lake, Snowflake data warehouse, ingestion and governed company KPIs such as ARR, customer retention, realised customer value, touchless rate and cost to serve
• Deliver, with RevOps and Account Management, a joined customer dataset within your first three months (product usage, realised value, contracts and cost alongside CRM data) so they can answer which customers get value, renew or expand, and what they cost to serve
• Set data governance with InfoSec: access controls, retention and deletion, and clear ownership for every data source
• Make our data AI-ready: evaluation datasets for AI Engineering, trusted context for agents, and clean data for data products
• Partner with the platform team on data contracts, change data capture and moving analytics off production databases
