About the Role

We’re hiring a Data & Analytics Manager who grows high-impact teams that balance efficiency with excellence, value autonomy and creativity, and thrive in a collaborative, inclusive environment.

Team vision: “Enable rapid innovation through a unified data platform”

Lead a high-performing, healthy team

- Coach and grow engineers through clear expectations, regular feedback, and thoughtful development plans.

- Create an environment where engineers can do focused work, collaborate effectively, and keep improving—without heroics or burnout.

- Help build a strong team culture that values autonomy, accountability, and craftsmanship.

- Help the team thoughtfully adopt AI-assisted tooling across the software delivery lifecycle to improve developer productivity and code quality.

- Lead by example in using AI tools where they add real leverage, and help engineers understand when AI accelerates work—and when human judgment matters most.

Deliver meaningful outcomes in Scrum

- Partner with Product and Design to translate goals into a clear plan, then guide the team through execution in a Scrum cadence (planning, delivery, review, retro).

- Manage a multi-million dollar product, growing our top and bottom line while improving platform stability

- Balance new work, enhancements, bugs, maintenance, and technical debt with sound judgment and transparent trade-offs.

- Improve delivery quality and speed over time by reducing friction, improving clarity, and continuously strengthening engineering practices.

Raise the bar for engineering excellence

- Champion strong development practices: code reviews that teach, testing discipline, pragmatic documentation, and maintainable implementations.

- Encourage “analytical” thinking - creatively solving data problems for our customers is at the heart of this role.

- Champion “you build it, you own it” - Deliver product while balancing technical health

Build operational strength (without creating toil)

- Help the team build healthy on-call and operational practices, including ownership, runbooks, sensible alerting, and effective incident follow-up.

- Lead blameless incident reviews focused on learning and systemic improvements.
