Director of Analytics

The Director of Analytics leads Engine's analytics team - the group that turns CPG and retail data into dashboards, reports, and recommendations for clients. The role is as much about the team as it is about the numbers: you build the people, process, and culture that let analysts and data scientists do their best work, then get out of the way and let them do it. You'll run the team's agile process, coach analysts through their career growth, own the analytics roadmap, and partner with product, engineering, sales, and client teams to turn business questions into analytical solutions.

• Manage, mentor, and grow a team of analytics professionals - run 1:1s that develop people, give direct feedback, and build a team culture where people want to stay and grow
• Run the team's agile process end to end: sprint planning, backlog grooming, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups that move work forward
• Practice servant leadership - clear obstacles, secure resources, and advocate for the team with other leaders
• Facilitate delivery of the analytics roadmap - oversee the design and delivery of dashboards, reports, and performance metrics that guide client and internal decisions
• Partner with product, engineering, sales, and client teams to translate business questions into analytical solutions and define the metrics that matter

• Hands-on experience running agile processes for an analytics or data team - sprint planning, backlog management, retrospectives, stand-ups
• A working view of analytics: comfortable reading a dashboard, questioning a metric definition, and following a team's reasoning from data to recommendation
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with experience influencing senior stakeholders and non-technical audiences
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
