We are hiring a Lead Data Analyst to own, lead, and evolve our analytics function across product, marketing, and business performance. This role goes far beyond reporting — you will define how success is measured, enforce metric discipline, and drive decision-making with absolute clarity and accountability.

You will lead by example, set standards for analytical excellence, and push the team to operate at a high-performance, execution-first level. We are seeking an individual with exceptional leadership skills, a strong competitive mindset (a sports or performance background is a significant advantage), and the ability to approach product metrics with rigorous precision.

This role is critical to the company's growth and requires someone who owns outcomes, not just insights.

• Own the entire analytics vision and execution across product, marketing, and revenue.
• Lead, mentor, and challenge Data Analysts — raising the bar on analytical thinking, ownership, and speed.
• Define, standardize, and strictly enforce product and business KPIs across the organization.
• Build, maintain, and evolve executive-level dashboards used for real decision-making, not vanity metrics.
• Perform deep user behavior analysis, funnel analysis, retention analysis, and aha moment discovery.
• Translate complex data into clear, decisive recommendations for Product, Growth, and Leadership.
• Establish a culture of metric accountability — every feature, experiment, and campaign must be measurable.
• Design and own robust SQL-based data models that scale with the business.
• Proactively monitor metrics, detect anomalies, and act before issues become visible elsewhere.
• Partner closely with Product Owners, Engineering, Marketing, and Leadership to align data with strategy.
• Give and receive direct, actionable feedback.
• Act as the single point of ownership for product and business metrics.
• Push the team forward with discipline, clarity, and high standards.
• Demand precision, consistency, and accountability in all reporting and analysis.
• Be comfortable making unpopular calls when data demands it.
• Operate with a performance mindset — speed, focus, and results matter.
• Treat metrics like a control system, not a reporting layer.

• Degree in an analytical field (Math, Data Science, Economics, or similar).
• 5+ years of experience in Data Analytics, including leading or mentoring analysts.
• Strong background in Product Analytics and data-driven decision-making.
• Advanced SQL skills with proven experience building scalable, reliable data models.
• Hands-on experience with Mixpanel, GA4, Amplitude, or similar tools.
• Experience with BI tools such as Tableau, Looker, or equivalent.
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to see both details and the big picture.
• Excellent verbal and written communication — able to challenge stakeholders with confidence.
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment with a full ownership mindset.
• Experience in subscription-based or data-driven businesses.

• Background in sports, competitive environments, or high-performance teams.
• Experience in Marketing Analytics (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, attribution).
• Experience with Python or R for advanced analysis.
• Experience with GCP / BigQuery / ClickHouse.
• Familiarity with dbt, Airflow, or modern data stacks.
• Experience with Git and code review processes.
