Head of Analytics

About the Role

We’re looking for a forward-thinking analytics leader to turn data into a competitive edge in the new era of digital mobility. You’ll shape our analytics vision, translate business strategy into measurable outcomes, and build a data ecosystem that powers smarter, faster decisions through a period of transformation and increased investor visibility. The role will work closely with our CFO and CPO, reporting directly to our Director of Data and Analytics.

What You’ll Do

• Set the Direction: Define and drive our analytics roadmap — from core KPIs and financial modeling to predictive insights that steer growth and efficiency in a PE-backed environment.
• Build the Foundation: Expand and refine our data infrastructure, ensuring clean, consistent, and connected information across all systems.
• Own the Truth: Establish a single source of truth for business metrics, prioritizing transparency, governance, and investor/audit readiness.
• Empower the Team: Grow and mentor a cross-functional analytics team, fostering curiosity, precision, and data-driven thinking.
• Partner to Impact: Collaborate with Product, Marketing, Operations, and Finance to transform insights into action and support decision-making from operational performance to board-level reporting.

Who You Are

• A strategic thinker who loves turning numbers into narratives and impact.
• Experienced in scaling analytics functions in tech-driven environments, with strong hands-on technical and analytical skills.
• Comfortable in investor-backed or PE-owned settings, able to navigate complex reporting and strategic transformation.
• Passionate about data quality, collaboration, and enabling teams to move with confidence.

What We’re Looking For

Leadership & Experience

• 10+ years in Analytics, BI, or Data Science, including 4+ years of senior leadership in high-growth tech environments.
• A balance of strategic vision and hands-on ability (e.g., SQL, Python) — leading by example and direction.
• Proven experience leading analytics in PE-backed or investor-led transformations, including board reporting and financial steering.
• Track record of scaling analytics through critical growth phases such as funding rounds, expansion, or organizational transformation.

Metrics & Business Fluency

• Deep understanding of marketplace and growth metrics — unit economics, funnels, cohorts, CAC/LTV, retention, churn, and contribution margin.
• Strong ability to connect operational KPIs with financial outcomes across P&L and balance sheet.
• Experience designing investor dashboards, management reporting packs, and value creation metrics (PE or institutional investors a plus).
• Experience with marketplace, subscription, or platform-based models is a strong plus.

Technical Expertise

• Hands-on experience with modern data architectures (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, dbt, orchestration frameworks).
• Skilled in building metric frameworks, event schemas, and BI environments (Looker, Tableau, Power BI, Metabase).
• Strong foundation in data quality, lineage, testing, versioning, and monitoring best practices.

Strategic & Communicative

• Ability to plan 12–24 months ahead while balancing scale, risk, and resources.
• Skilled at translating complex analytics into clear, compelling narratives for executives, boards, and stakeholders.
• Confident in defending methodologies, assumptions, and insights.
