Director of Analytics

Recruiting Team Director at Method Recruiting

The Role

The Director of Analytics will be responsible for establishing and leading an organization’s analytics function — defining the strategy, building the infrastructure, and developing insights that drive smarter decisions across the business.

This is a highly hands‑on and entrepreneurial role. You’ll design analytics programs, select and implement tools, and translate complex, multi-source data into actionable insights across performance, product, marketing, and operations. As the company scales, you’ll also build and mentor a team and help embed data‑driven thinking into the culture.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement the analytics roadmap, including tools, data architecture, and reporting frameworks
• Evaluate, select, and help implement analytics platforms, dashboards, and measurement systems
• Establish best practices for data quality, governance, and scalability

• Translate business and performance goals into clear measurement strategies and learning agendas
• Analyze large, complex, and disparate datasets to surface insights that inform strategy and execution
• Develop clear narratives that connect data to recommendations and outcomes
• Partner with leadership to define KPIs and success metrics across the business

• Collaborate with marketing, product, science, and operations teams to support experimentation, optimization, and growth
• Support strategic initiatives by providing analytical guidance and performance measurement
• Act as a thought partner to senior leaders on how data can unlock new opportunities

• Hire, mentor, and lead a high‑performing analytics team over time
• Educate internal stakeholders on analytics methodologies, tools, and insights
• Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging analytics approaches; develop internal POVs on data, performance, and measurement

• 8+ years of experience in analytics, business intelligence, or data leadership roles
• Proven experience building or significantly evolving analytics programs, tools, or teams
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to work in ambiguity
• Comfortable working hands‑on with data while also setting strategic direction
• Collaborative, adaptable, and able to influence across functions

• Strong proficiency in SQL
• Experience with Python and/or R or similar analytics programming environments
• Experience with data visualization and BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or similar)
• Familiarity with web, product, or performance analytics platforms is a plus
• Experience working with large, multi‑source datasets

This is a rare opportunity to build an analytics function from zero to one inside a fast‑growing, performance‑driven organization. You’ll have meaningful ownership, real influence, and the chance to shape how analytics powers the company’s next phase of growth.
