Director of Analytics

About the role

This is a hands-on Director role, not a hands-off one, and it is not remote. You’ll own the analytics layer end to end, from the pipelines to the dashboard, and you’ll set the standard for how the whole function operates: analysis quality, AI-assisted workflows, and how fast we turn data into decisions.

Responsibilities

• Own analytics, reporting, and dashboards end to end, from source data to the decision
• Keep outputs accurate, timely, and tied to defined business metrics
• Translate business questions into clear analytical frameworks, and push back when the question is the wrong one
• Build and maintain dashboards and scorecards for Sales, Marketing, Client Success, Events, and Operations
• Monitor trends, surface risks, identify optimization opportunities, and deliver readouts to functional leaders
• Set the standard for analysis quality, data storytelling, and AI-assisted workflows across the function
• Review work for accuracy, clarity, and business relevance, and coach toward a higher bar
• Develop analysts and analytics contributors, and grow the team as the function scales
• Own and improve dbt model design, Fivetran source and sync reliability, documentation, testing, and data quality
• Hold reporting as a single source of truth aligned with enterprise data definitions
• Continuous Improvement: Lean on AI to accelerate delivery, find automation, and push toward self-service reporting and scale

Requirements

• 6+ years in data analytics, analytics engineering, or a hybrid role, including experience setting standards or leading analytics delivery
• Expert SQL: joins, window functions, CTEs, and performance-aware query writing
• Strong Python for data work: pandas, API and requests ingestion, scripting glue
• Hands-on dbt (Core or Cloud): you’ve personally owned models, sources, tests, and macros in a real production project
• Cloud data warehouse experience: BigQuery preferred; Snowflake or Redshift acceptable with willingness to ramp on GCP
• Demonstrated AI-tool fluency: you actively use Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, or similar, and can speak concretely about what you’ve shipped with AI and where you don’t trust it
• A track record of raising the bar for a team or function: mentoring analysts, setting standards, or owning analysis quality, with or without a manager title
• Business judgment and data storytelling, evaluated as hard as your SQL
• Able to work in our Scottsdale office 5 days a week
