Job description
- 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
Requirements
- 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
