Role
Who you are
- We are seeking a highly motivated and analytically driven Insight Analytics Team Leader to join our growing organization.
- The ideal candidate will combine strong technical expertise with business acumen, leadership skills, and a passion for mentoring others in analytics best practices
- You’ll be the connective tissue between data and decisions - shaping strategy, accelerating execution, and building an insight culture that compounds value over time
- Proven leadership in analytics. 6–10+ years in analytics or data science with 3-5+ years leading high‑impact teams in product, commercial, or operations analytics
- Strong technical toolkit. Expert SQL (on cloud e.g. AWS/GCP); proficiency in Python or R using notebooks for analysis; fluency with BI/visualization tools (e.g. Looker, Quicksight, Plotly, Power BI) and experience with orchestration tools e.g. Airflow
- Experimentation and statistics. Practical experience with test design, power and sample‑size calculations, regression/causal inference basics, and interpretation limits
- Business acumen and storytelling. Ability to connect analysis to P&L impact; craft concise, executive‑level narratives; and influence decisions across functions
- Bias to action. Comfortable operating in ambiguity, prioritizing ruthlessly, and shipping insights quickly with clear trade‑offs and follow‑ups
- Nice to have. Domain experience in payments/fintech, marketplace, or B2B SaaS; familiarity with product analytics, growth, risk, or pricing
What the job involves
- This role is pivotal in transforming business questions into actionable insights, driving data-informed decision-making, and fostering a culture of analytics excellence
- Lead and develop the team. Hire, provide feedback, coach, and grow a team of insight analysts; set standards for analytical rigor, speed, and stakeholder impact
- Translate Business Questions into Analytical Requirements Partner with business leaders and stakeholders (e.g. Product, Commercial, Operations, and Finance) to identify high-value business problems and translate them into clear, testable analytical hypotheses
- Deliver deep-dive analysis. Run diagnostic and predictive analyses (e.g., cohorting, segmentation, regression, LTV/retention modeling, forecasting) to explain what’s happening, why, and what to do next, leveraging both internal BI data products and external market context
- Proactively Identify Opportunities for Action. Mine data to uncover hidden patterns, risks, and revenue-generating opportunities, going beyond reactive analysis to drive proactive business value
- Communicate Insights and Influence Decisions. Synthesize complex findings into compelling, executive-ready narratives. Present insights, recommend actionable steps, and collaborate with business teams to ensure implementation and measurable impact
- Foster a Community of Insight Producers. Collaborate with other analytics professionals across the business, sharing best practices and building a strong analytics community
- Champion Analytics Literacy and Training. Mentor and train business users to self-serve data, interpret dashboards, and build their own analytical capabilities
- How success is measured
- Adoption and impact. Percentage of recommendations implemented and attributable business outcomes (revenue lift, cost/risk reduction, customer metrics)
- Time‑to‑insight. Cycle time from question to decision; experiment velocity and win rate
- Data and self‑serve health. Stakeholder satisfaction (NPS), reduction in ad‑hoc requests due to effective enablement, and quality of curated datasets/metrics
- Team excellence. Hiring velocity, retention, skill growth, and on‑time delivery against the analytics roadmap
Our take
It is clearly evident that there is a massive payments gap between developed countries and emerging economies, with consumers in many countries having little or no access to modern payment options. dLocal was established in Uruguay to address this gap, which it aims to close not only for its neighbouring countries but across the globe.
Through its unique "One dLocal" concept (one direct API, one platform, and one contract), global companies can accept payments, send pay-outs and settle funds globally without separately managing pay-in and pay-out processors. The company also supplies a defense suite and local issuing for virtual and physical pre-paid cards in Latin America, as well as tools for building payments infrastructure for platforms and marketplaces.
Since founding, the company has expanded across Uruguay, the USA, Israel, Brazil and Europe. The company has seen significant growth while remaining confident and committed to its original mission. A notable achievement is dLocal becoming a certified Payment Initiation Service Provider in Brazil, which means it can eliminate unnecessary steps for users in the region.
