What the job involves
- Jellyfish is looking for an experienced leader for our Enablement team, the full-stack team responsible for product analytics and self-serve data analysis platforms
- You’ll lead a team of data scientists and engineers to produce analytics and insights—as well as the technologies needed to power them—in order to guide product and business strategy and decision-making for a wide range of internal stakeholders
- Lead a team of data scientists and engineers within our Research department whose mission is to develop metrics, insights, analyses, dashboards, and other data products that help leaders across Jellyfish pursue effective product and business strategies

Our take
Engineering leaders are often left in the dark when it comes to exactly what their teams are doing when developing new products. This was a source of frustration shared by the founders of Jellyfish, who had similar visibility issues when running their own engineering and product teams.
Its platform attempts to do for engineering team leaders what CRM systems have done for sales teams. It aims to keep managers in the loop around projects, including the productivity of individual engineers, where time and resources are spent, and whether products are on schedule.
The company has a long list of customers including Toast, Medium, DataRobot, Digital Guardian, New Relic, and Mastercard subsidiary SessionM. The global transition to remote work saw a surge in business for Jellyfish, which has led to an increase in its headcount and further revenue growth.
