Compensation at Point will be determined by skills, experience, and geographic location.

As Lead Data Analyst, you'll be the most senior analyst on the team and the standard-bearer for that shift. You'll take our hardest, highest-stakes business questions and drive them from an ambiguous ask to a rigorous, trusted answer with a clear recommendation. Working closely with leaders across product, marketing, and operations, you'll own how our most important metrics are defined and set the bar for what great analysis looks like. This is a lead individual-contributor role with a potential direct report, helping build a function that's becoming a true analytical partner to the business - and the human judgment layer on top of a company increasingly able to self-serve with AI., * Own the definition and integrity of core business metrics - bring an opinionated, well-reasoned point of view and drive alignment across stakeholders on a single source of truth. * Lead end-to-end deep-dive analyses on our highest-stakes questions - from framing the problem, through causal and statistical rigor, to a written recommendation the business can act on, including retrospective reads on whether past bets paid off. * Design and interpret experiments and causal analyses - separate correlation from causation, and quantify the tradeoffs and elasticities leaders need to prioritize with confidence. * Serve as an embedded analytical partner to senior product, marketing, and operations leaders - understand their goals, anticipate the questions, and proactively surface insights rather than just fielding requests. * Translate business logic into documented metric definitions and the semantic layer that powers self-serve analytics and AI-driven data access. * Set the analytical standard for the team - model rigorous, reproducible work and raise the bar through mentorship and example. ## Related Videos - [How building an industry DBMS differs from building a research one](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/768-how-building-an-industry-dbms-differs-from-building-a-research-one) - [Why Your AI Agent Keeps Hallucinating Your Data: Building Deterministic Context Layers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2055-why-your-ai-agent-keeps-hallucinating-your-data-building-deterministic-context-layers) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Beyond SQL Generation: How to Teach Agents What Your Database Actually Means](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100127-beyond-sql-generation-how-to-teach-agents-what-your-database-actually-means) - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [Data Analyst Salary in Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/276-data-analyst-salary-in-switzerland) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer)
