Head of Data

About the role

Fi is looking for a Head of Data to own our data platform end to end. You'll model our device, membership, and operational data into the pipelines and warehouse layers the company runs on, lead a team of four analysts, and be the numbers person Finance and Product turn to for board reporting, forecasting, and experiment reads. This is a hands-on role for someone who's built a data function before and wants to do it again, this time with real leverage.

What You'll Do

• Own Fi's data platform and analytics roadmap: model our device, membership, and operational data into pipelines and warehouse layers the whole company can build on
• Design and maintain event-driven, incremental pipelines over raw device telemetry — turning millions of collar signals into usable product and fleet data models
• Manage, coach, and grow a team of four analysts; run their pipeline of work, unblock them technically, and raise the bar on rigor and documentation
• Partner with Finance on subscription and unit economics: membership forecasting, retention and LTV modeling, hardware margin, and the reporting our board and investors see
• Partner with Product and Hardware on activation, engagement, and device performance analytics — including the sensor and firmware data behind features customers actually feel
• Build self-serve BI that stakeholders genuinely use, rather than a dashboard graveyard
• Design and read experiments on pricing, onboarding, and retention, and hold the org to honest interpretation of results
• Shift the data team from a ticket-taking service function into a strategic partner embedded in the business

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years in analytics, business intelligence, data engineering, or analytics engineering, including time as the person who built or substantially rebuilt a data function
• Experience leading analysts — formally or as a player-coach — with a real point of view on how to develop them
• Deep SQL, plus hands-on work in a modern warehouse and orchestration stack (Databricks, Snowflake, Spark, Airflow, dbt or similar)
• Fluency in dimensional and event-driven modeling, and clear opinions on ELT tradeoffs, incremental builds, and cost control
• Strong BI craft in Looker, Tableau, Mode, or equivalent — you build for the stakeholder, not the demo
• Comfort partnering with Finance on models that carry real consequences: forecasts, diligence materials, margin analysis
• Ability to work in ambiguity at Series B scale, where you'll sometimes be the entire data team for a given problem

Why You'll Love Us

• Top-Notch Health Coverage: We've got your back (and teeth and eyes) with full medical, dental, and vision insurance
