Job description

The first data leader at a fast growing company, owning the warehouse, transformation layers and BI tooling while also doing hands on analysis. A strong candidate has led data or analytics at a startup or scale up, can question engineers on technical choices, and can sit with department leads to find the real question behind a request. Building a small team and setting metric definitions that everyone trusts are central to the job.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools make it easy to produce dashboards and reports quickly, so the harder work is deciding what is worth looking at and keeping the numbers reliable. This role shapes data so AI tools can use it well and guards against a flood of low quality output. Judgement about what the business needs and trust in the numbers stay human.

How it builds AI experience

The company runs conversational AI agents for video and voice interviews, so the data work sits close to AI products. The role offers practice in preparing data that AI tools can rely on and in getting real value from AI for analysis. Everyday use of AI and a view on building dependable data for it are stated as expectations.
