Job summary

Polymarket is hiring a Director of Data Analytics to lead the embedded analytics team and turn data into decisions across growth, product, markets, finance, risk, and institutional domains.

You'll define analytics strategy, build a high-performing organization, and partner with leaders to set analytical agendas while maintaining rigorous standards and shared practices across the company.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in analytics or data science, including 4+ years managing analysts or scientists.
• Expert SQL, and enough statistical grounding to review an experiment design or a causal claim and catch what is wrong with it.
• Experience running an embedded or matrixed analytics team, and a clear point of view on where that model breaks down.
• Credibility with senior business stakeholders — you can push back on an executive with evidence and keep the relationship intact.
• A track record of developing analysts, including promoting people and managing others out when it was the right call.
• Strong prioritization instincts across functions with genuinely competing demands and no obvious tiebreaker.
• A hiring track record — you have built a team, not only inherited one.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where business logic changes frequently and you need to keep pace.
• (Plus) Data science depth — experimentation design, causal inference, or predictive modeling.
• (Plus) Experience in a marketplace, exchange, or trading business where analytics sits close to the economics.
• (Plus) Experience in fintech, crypto, prediction markets, or other data-intensive financial products

Responsibilities

• Lead, hire, and develop a team of embedded analysts and data scientists across growth, product, markets, finance, risk, and institutional
• Own the analytical standard including what makes an analysis rigorous, decision-ready, and honest about its assumptions
• Partner with business leaders to set each function's analytical agenda, so your team works on what matters rather than on what was asked most loudly
• Protect the embedded model. Analysts own outcomes inside their teams, not staffing a ticket queue
• Build shared craft across a distributed team through review practices, experimentation standards, and a way for good work to travel between verticals
• Partner with data platform leadership on the metrics layer, so definitions stay consistent and recurring analyses graduate into modeled datasets instead of living in notebooks
• Own the analytics leadership sees, including company-level reporting and the numbers that go to the board and to investors
• Develop analysts into senior individual contributors and future leads, and be straight with people about where they stand
