Job description

Head of Data Infrastructure & Analytics (Relocation to Dubai)

Join Puffy as the Head of Data Infrastructure & Analytics and lead our data operations in Dubai.

Position: Head of Data Infrastructure & Analytics

Compensation: AED 55,000 – AED 75,000 per month + up to 25% performance bonus

Total Annual Package: Up to AED 1,143,000 (Tax-free)

The Reality:

• Dubai = 0% personal income tax. Your offer is your take‑home.
• In most major markets, 30–50% goes to taxes. Here, 100% of what we offer is what you keep.

Location: Dubai, UAE (On‑site) with relocation assistance and visa support

Role Overview

We're seeking an innovative Head of Data Infrastructure & Analytics to join our dynamic team at the forefront of internal innovation. You will take the helm of our e‑commerce data operations, leading a team that powers strategic decisions through enterprise‑grade data infrastructure and governance while architecting robust systems, implementing data observability frameworks, and ensuring data reliability that drives confident decision‑making across our high‑growth D2C business.

What Is In It For You

• Accelerate three years of data infrastructure mastery into one year by building automated validation systems, data quality checks, and monitoring frameworks.
• Architect infrastructure that handles $2M+ monthly ad spend with zero tolerance for errors—fixing GA4 configurations, implementing server‑side tracking, and building data observability that catches bugs before they reach leadership.
• Transform from Analytics Manager to Enterprise Data Architect, architecting mission‑critical infrastructure that handles $24M+ in annual ad spend.
• Partner with the top 5 mattress brands, work with Forbes Council member CEOs, and gain exposure to high‑velocity decision‑making.
• Experience a world‑class lifestyle in Dubai with 0% income tax and a vibrant international community.
• Build systems that scale across multiple markets, establishing technical standards that power confident decision‑making.

Must‑Have Technical Chops

• 7+ years in digital analytics with proven track record of owning data quality in high‑stakes B2C environments
• Expert‑level knowledge: GA4, GTM, server‑side tracking, data pipeline architecture, e‑commerce tracking
• Can diagnose and fix tracking setup errors across the entire stack - you don't just identify problems, you solve them
• Strong technical skills: SQL expert (can write complex queries in your sleep), Python or R proficiency for data validation
• Data engineering knowledge: Understand ETL/ELT, data warehousing, API integrations, event‑driven architecture
• Experience building data quality systems: Automated validation checks, data observability, monitoring frameworks

The Operational Mindset

• You're a builder, not a presenter: More excited about architecting systems than making slides
• Zero‑bug mentality: You take it personally when bad data gets through
• Process‑driven: You document, systematize, and scale solutions
• Comfortable saying no: Protect data quality even when it's politically inconvenient
• Firefighter turned fire‑preventer: You've dealt with data disasters and built systems to prevent them

Leadership & Communication

• Proven team leadership: Can manage 3+ person analytics team with focus on quality and growth
• Can explain technical issues to non‑technical executives without dumbing it down or over‑complicating
• Enforce standards: Your team knows accuracy is non‑negotiable
• Cross‑functional influence: Work with engineering, marketing, and product to fix data at the source

Red Flags (Don't Apply If This Is You)

• You want to focus on strategic insights and executive storytelling
• You prefer analysis over building systems
• You think ‘good enough’ data is acceptable
• You can't explain how server‑side tracking actually works
• You've never built a data validation framework

You've done this before:

• ‘I reduced data quality incidents by 90% at [Company] by implementing [specific systems]’
• ‘I architected the tracking infrastructure that handled $XXM in ad spend with 99.9% accuracy’
• ‘I built automated validation that caught errors before they reached leadership’
• ‘I led the server‑side tracking migration that solved our attribution problems’

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with data observability tools (Monte Carlo, Great Expectations, dbt tests)
• Background in analytics engineering or data reliability engineering
• Track record in high‑growth e‑commerce (sleep, wellness, DTC)
• Experience with attribution modeling for multi‑channel marketing
• Built data quality systems that scaled internationally

• Demand Excellence: We solve the hard problems that others can’t, pushing the boundaries of our craft.
• Be AI‑First: Daily multi‑turn AI conversations challenge your assumptions.

• Monthly performance bonuses (up to 25%)
• Tax‑free income
• Annual return flight allowance to your home country
• Parking allowance (up to AED 7,800 annually)
• Life insurance & Personal Accident Insurance (24x monthly salary)
• 22 working days annual leave + UAE public holidays
• UAE work visa sponsorship
• International flights & airport transfers
• AI First organization with access to AI‑native tool stack
• Premium office environment in Dubai Internet City
• International team collaboration (14+ nationalities)
