Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or analytics engineering, with significant time in a management or leadership role.
• A track record of building and scaling a data/analytics function from the ground up or through a high-growth phase, including hands‑on hiring across multiple disciplines

• Design the org structure, leveling, and career paths that let each discipline scale as the team grows
• Standardize how product metrics, experimentation, and analytics get built and consumed across MoonPay, replacing one-off analysis with reusable, trusted data products
• Partner directly with Product and Engineering leadership to embed analytics and experimentation into the product development lifecycle, from problem definition through post-launch measurement
• Set technical and quality standards across the team's work: data modeling conventions, experimentation methodology, dashboarding and reporting practices
• Represent data and analytics needs in cross-functional planning with Product, Engineering, Finance, Operations, and Compliance
• Mentor team leads and senior ICs, building a bench of future managers within the function
• Report on team health, hiring progress, and analytics impact to senior leadership
