Job summary

Fundraise Up, Inc. is seeking a Head of Data to build and guarantee the data foundation the company relies on: pipelines, models, definitions, and data contracts for trusted AI across the organization.

You will own data infrastructure end-to-end, define standards, and lead a two-person team, shipping a major internal AI-powered initiative every quarter while expanding the data function. The role emphasizes measurable improvements in data freshness, reliability, and self-serve access for PMs,

Qualifications

• You've personally built and run production pipelines/ELT into a cloud data warehouse. You have strong SQL and Python, orchestration, and warehouse modeling skills, and you still want to be hands-on.
• You've built a trusted, self-serve data layer that people actually relied on: tests, observability, lineage, a metrics or semantic layer, and documentation good enough that questions stopped routing back to you.

Responsibilities

• Own the data infrastructure, hands-on. Design, build, and run the pipelines and ETL/ELT that feed our warehouse. Own freshness, reliability, and cost.
• Build the trusted data layer everyone relies on. Own the data models, tests, validation, observability, and lineage that prove the data is accurate, plus the consistent metrics that give two teams the same answer to the same question.
• Own the definitions library. Teams own their definitions; you give them a single standardized, versioned home.
• Set the data contracts for internal AI and programmatic access, including MCP. Decide which data and actions AI agents and internal builders can reach, on what terms, with what semantics, and with what freshness and correctness guarantees.
• Be the source of truth for business and finance data. What Finance closes on, what Sales forecasts against, and what Product measures should all trace back to the same underlying data.
• Be the dependable upstream for Product Analytics, Product ML, and AI builders across the company. Work with them on their roadmaps so the foundation stays ahead of what they need.
