Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, brings strong technical and analytical expertise, and is excited by the opportunity to build and scale a world-class data organization within a high-growth B2B SaaS company
- 8+ years of experience in data-focused roles (engineering, analytics, or data science), with at least 3+ years in a leadership capacity at a tech scale-up or fast-paced environment
- Deep understanding of modern data architectures (cloud data warehouses, ETL/ELT, data modeling), analytics tools (SQL, Python, dbt, Looker, Power BI, or similar), and data governance frameworks
- Proven track record of leveraging data to drive strategy, optimize processes, and improve product and business performance
- Ability to balance hands-on problem solving with long-term vision; you can roll up your sleeves when needed while thinking strategically about scalability and impact
- Excellent communicator and partner who can bridge technical and non-technical teams, fostering alignment and shared understanding
- A passion for experimentation, continuous learning, and exploring new technologies in data science and AI
- Bonus: Experience building data functions from the ground up in a SaaS environment, exposure to AI/ML applications, or experience supporting data products and embedded analytics
- If you thrive on customer satisfaction and turning ideas into reality, then you’ve found your ideal destination
- Don’t meet every single requirement? Research shows that women and people of color are less likely than others to apply if they feel like they don’t match 100% of the job requirements. Don’t let the confidence gap stand in your way, we’d love to hear from you! We understand that experience comes in many different forms and are dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team

Our take
Even as more and more industries digitise, processes in legacy industries such as trade remain relatively archaic – with commodity markets running on incomplete, dispersed and sometimes inaccurate information. Kpler, founded in 2014, brings data technology to trade, in order to make the space more efficient and sustainable.
Kpler is the leader in its field, claiming ten times the revenue and commercial footprint of its nearest competitor. The company supplies real-time, transparent data on commodity markets, as well as actionable insights for those acting in the industry. Partnerships with leading data providers and analytics firms have bolstered Kpler’s offerings to cover a range of markets across the trading space, cementing its leadership as a provider of commodity market data.
Kpler has received massive funding for its continued expansion, received atop already impressive growth and between 2022 and 2023, acquired five companies. The investment is being used to make more smart acquisitions, of note within the growing maritime analytics and logistics market, hire talent, and accelerate development to ensure it remains at the forefront of its field.
