Lead Analytics Engineer – Own the Strategy | D2C Scale-Up | £50B+ Category | Central London / Hybrid | £100,000 - £110,000 + Outstanding Benefits

One of the UK’s most successful D2C scale-ups is hiring a Lead Analytics Engineer to take full ownership of their analytics strategy, with a clear and fast path to becoming Head of Analytics Engineering.

This is your chance to drive a purpose-led, tech-first business that’s redefining personalised health. They’re already the UK’s #1 in their category, with hundreds of thousands of active monthly users – and they’re just getting started.

What makes this different:

This isn’t just another analytics role. You’ll lead the entire growth analytics strategy, from how performance is measured, to how spend is optimised and how data is activated across the customer lifecycle. You’ll build, scale and shape everything: the tooling, the models, the team, the roadmap.

It’s a high-impact, high-autonomy position at a business that’s expanding fast (new wellness verticals + international growth into the US & Europe), and where data is central to product, marketing, and customer experience.

What you’ll own:

• Full strategic ownership of growth analytics – Attribution, CAC, LTV, Forecasting, Churn, and more
• Development and maintenance of a modern data stack (BigQuery, dbt, Fivetran, Looker, Hex – with full freedom to reshape)
• Line management and mentoring of a high-performing analytics team, with scope to grow the function
• High-impact stakeholder engagement – turning complex data into decisions across marketing, product, ops & finance
• Championing a test-and-learn culture: A/B testing, experimentation and insight-led product decisions

About you:

• 9+ years in data/analytics with deep expertise in SQL and dbt (Python or R a bonus)
• 3+ years in a leadership or lead individual contributor role, ideally within a high-growth D2C or product-led business
• Experience driving commercial outcomes via growth data strategy and modelling
• Proven ability to influence, excite, and align stakeholders around data-driven initiatives
• A strategic thinker who can get hands-on when needed – builder, operator, leader
