Role
Who you are
- You will bring strong product instincts, practical marketplace judgment, and the credibility to influence company decisions beyond the product roadmap
- 10+ years of experience in analytics, data science, or a closely related field, with significant time supporting product, growth, marketplace, or consumer technology teams
- 5+ years of experience leading analytics teams, including experience managing managers and developing senior individual contributors
- Strong product and business judgment; you can move from customer behavior to company-level implications without losing the details
- Expert-level SQL and fluency with a modern analytics stack, including data warehouses, BI tools, product analytics platforms, and experimentation tools
- Comfort writing analysis code in Python, R, or a similar language when the work calls for it
- Deep understanding of experimentation, metric design, causal reasoning, and the common ways analyses can mislead decision-makers
- Experience improving data foundations, including event instrumentation, metric definitions, data quality, and analytics workflows
- A track record of influencing senior stakeholders and changing business or product direction through clear analysis and strong communication
- Experience hiring, coaching, and raising technical standards for analysts and analytics managers
- Marketplace, e-commerce, subscription, or other scaled consumer product experience is strongly preferred
- An advanced degree in a quantitative field is helpful, but not required
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Director of Product Analytics to directly influence how Rover makes decisions about our product experience, marketplace health, and company strategy
- This person will lead our Product Analytics team and serve as a senior partner to Product and company leaders, bringing clear thinking and strong judgment to some of Rover's most important questions
- We need a leader who can set direction, manage managers, influence senior stakeholders, and still enjoy diving deep when the work calls for it
- The right person will raise the bar for how the team frames problems, evaluates evidence, and turns analysis into decisions
- You will help turn customer behavior, marketplace dynamics, and product performance into clear choices for the business, then build the team, rituals, and standards that make that happen consistently
- Lead and develop Rover's Product Analytics team, including analysts and analytics managers, with a focus on judgment, technical depth, and business impact
- Set the analytics agenda for the product organization and connect it to company priorities, marketplace health, customer experience, and long-term growth
- Partner with Product, Design, Engineering, Marketing, Operations, and executive leaders to identify the highest-value questions, frame tradeoffs, and shape roadmap and operating decisions
- Establish clear metric frameworks for product and marketplace performance, including definitions, instrumentation expectations, reporting standards, and regular readouts for leaders
- Raise the bar for experimentation at Rover: guide test design, statistical rigor, interpretation, and follow-through so experiments inform real decisions
- Stay close to the technical work by reviewing analyses, writing or reading SQL as needed, pressure-testing assumptions, and coaching the team on better analytic methods
- Work with Data Engineering and Data Infrastructure to improve data quality, modeling, tooling, and self-service access for product and business teams
- Build the habits that help analytics drive change across the company, from stronger narratives and decision forums to better education for non-analytics partners
- Hire, coach, and grow a team that can balance deep analysis with pragmatic business judgment
Our take
Rover.com connects pet parents with the nation’s largest network of loving and trustworthy pet sitters and dog walkers. Through Rover, pet parents can discover, book, and manage personalized care for their dogs, including pet sitting, dog walking, in-home dog boarding, and doggy day care.
Rover has fundamentally changed the U.S pet services industry, a market which is worth $10+ billion, by improving the way pet owners find and book pet care. Rover’s app is now the most downloaded and best-reviewed dog walking and pet sitting app in North America.
Although things slowed down for the company during the pandemic, the successful bounce-back has led it to an IPO and significant growth, notably in European markets. Pet spending is on the rise too, and Rover seems well positioned to ride that wave - an outlook reinforced by its $2.3 billion acquisition by Blackstone, which shows both the platform's resilience and the long-term attractiveness of its offering.
