Job description

Job Summary

We are looking for a first-principles thinker to drive data strategy across Tracxn's core data production units. This is a high-impact problem‑solving role at the intersection of strategy and execution. You will work closely with senior stakeholders to identify data production problems, design solutions, and own end-to-end implementation.

The ideal candidate brings intellectual depth and rigour: someone who goes beyond surface-level fixes, researches problems thoroughly, and thinks carefully before acting.

Key Responsibilities

Data Strategy

• Own and drive the data strategy for assigned data production units, identifying coverage gaps, quality issues, and scalability bottlenecks.


• Translate business and client data requirements into clear, actionable roadmaps.


• Benchmark Tracxn's data assets against industry standards to identify improvement areas and strategic opportunities.

Problem Solving & Implementation

• Break down complex, unstructured data problems into clear problem statements and solution blueprints.


• Design and implement automation workflows to improve data production throughput and accuracy.

Cross‑functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Data teams to translate data strategy into scalable processes and align on data definitions, standards, and delivery requirements.


• Communicate data strategy, progress, and key metrics to senior leadership.

Qualifications & Skills

Must-Have

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related field from a Tier-1 institution (IITs, BITS Pilani, or equivalent).


• Strong first-principles problem‑solving skills, with the ability to break down ambiguous problems and design practical, scalable solutions.


• 5 – 8 years of experience in data strategy, data operations, analytics, business strategy, or other analytical, technology-driven, or data‑adjacent roles.


• Comfortable working at the intersection of data and technology, with the ability to understand code, system design, and collaborate effectively with engineering teams.


• Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills.

Good to Have

• Prior experience with B2B data platforms, market intelligence, or private company data.


• Hands‑on experience with automation tools or RPA platforms (UiPath, Power Automate, or equivalent).

Key Competencies

• Problem-First Thinking: Goes deep on problems before proposing solutions, researches root causes, evaluates multiple approaches, and brings rigour to analysis and execution.


• Structured Communication: Communicates complex data and operational challenges clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.


• Automation Mindset: Consistently looks for scalable, automation-driven solutions instead of manual workarounds.


• Technical Fluency: Comfortable working with engineering teams and understanding technical systems, constraints, and trade-offs.


• Ownership and Execution: Takes end-to-end ownership of problems and drives them through to resolution with minimal oversight.

Why Join Tracxn?

• High-ownership role with a direct impact on the quality and scale of a market-leading data platform.


• Opportunity to drive impact and shape the future of private market intelligence.


• Meritocracy-driven, candid culture. No politics.


• Work with like-minded, intellectually curious professionals.


• Continuous learning opportunities and mentorship from senior leadership.
