Lead Data Analyst

Running escalated data investigations end to end: reproducing the issue, tracing the number back to its source, and answering it.

Occasionally joining customer calls on urgent data issues.

Deciding what the team works on: what gets answered now, and what gets an owner and a deadline.

Reporting what we find to the teams that produce our data, bringing them in with the evidence and the context they need.

Setting how the team runs: intake, routing, ownership and response expectations, with enough shared knowledge that any of the three of you can pick up any investigation.

Turning recurring questions into permanent answers: documentation, dashboards, and internal tools and agents built with the analytics engineer.

Managing two people, including technical direction for the analytics engineer.

Using AI assistants such as Claude or Cursor as a normal part of the daily workflow.

Python is a must. On top of that, strong SQL or PySpark, and if PySpark is not there yet, the ability and willingness to pick it up quickly.

Excellence at working out where a number came from: choosing the right dataset among many, understanding how it was built, and getting to the bottom of problems in systems you did not build.

Working experience with a notebook environment, a cloud platform and Git is a must. Our stack is Databricks, AWS and GitLab and the stack will keep expanding as we automate more, so picking up new tools matters.

Enough software engineering to lead an engineer: version control, code review, pipelines and deployment. You will not write production code every day, but you do have to review plans, weigh trade-offs and set direction.

Leadership experience, and the wish to keep growing in it. The formal side comes with the role: objectives, feedback and development for two people.

Judgement about how far to take an investigation: some deserve a day, some two weeks. Analytical correctness is non-negotiable.

The ability to explain data to people who are not technical, including customers, precisely and without hiding behind the detail.

Ownership in ambiguity. Problems arrive without a specification, often without an obvious owner, and with someone already waiting on the answer.

Experience with modelled or estimated data, such as panel data, web analytics or forecasting, where the method has to be explained as well as the number.

Experience building or specifying AI-powered internal tools.
