Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a lead problem solver—someone who approaches data like a detective, chasing down the root cause of business challenges and turning insights into action
- Proven experience in leading data teams and developing a company-wide data strategy that aligns with business objectives
- Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of using data to drive high-impact decisions
- Experience effectively communicating data-driven insights to stakeholders at all levels, including executives with varying levels of data literacy
- Demonstrated ability to build trust in data and handle disagreements, including when insights contradict leadership’s assumptions
- Expertise in managing and motivating remote teams, setting clear expectations, and measuring success
- Strong prioritization skills, balancing speed and accuracy when executing on data initiatives
- Familiarity with data infrastructure, analytics tools, and best practices in scaling a data function within a fast-paced environment
- Ability to navigate ambiguous business questions and structure analyses that lead to actionable insights
What the job involves
- As our Head of Data & Analytics, you’ll work with our world-class teams. Reporting to our CEO, you’ll be joining a team who have helped build companies like Chime, Twitter, Instacart, E-Trade, McKinsey, Etsy, eBay, LendingTree, Expedia and more
- As Head of Data & Analytics, you’ll set the vision for how data powers decision-making across the company
- You’ll tackle ambiguous questions, uncover hidden patterns, and lead a high-performance remote team to turn analysis into real-world impact
- Leadership & Vision: Break down complex, high-impact business problems—like shifts in customer behavior or changes in product performance—and use data to get to the truth. Translate vague questions into clear, structured analyses that drive action
- Execution & Impact: Use data to solve high-impact business problems, structure ambiguous questions into clear analyses, and ensure insights translate into concrete actions. Work cross-functionally to diagnose challenges like customer retention trends and drive meaningful improvements
- Collaboration & Stakeholder Management: Use data to guide strategy and operations. Partner with teams across the company to improve customer retention, optimize marketing performance, reduce risk, and grow revenue
- Remote Team Leadership: Manage and mentor a distributed data team, ensuring accountability and motivation. Set clear success metrics, foster collaboration, and address performance challenges effectively
Our take
NorthOne is an API enabled mobile banking platform targeted at small business owners, startups and freelancers who don’t have the capacity or business infrastructure to effectively manage their finances.
In exchange for a monthly fee, account holders get unlimited free transactions, invoicing tools, as well as connectivity with a range of popular business apps including PayPal, FreshBooks, Etsy, and Square. There are also no non-sufficient funds or overdraft fees, a penalty which costs US bankers millions per year.
Mobile financial services are expected to be worth $60B by 2025, and competition for a slice of the pie is fierce. Big banks, as well as other startups like Azlo and Bank Novo all stand beside NorthOne in targeting the growing SME market. However, with substantial funding at its back, the company has set its sights on becoming the go-to digital banking solution for small businesses.
