About the Role

We’re hiring a Data & Analytics Manager who grows high-impact teams that balance efficiency with excellence, value autonomy and creativity, and thrive in a collaborative, inclusive environment.

Team vision: “Enable rapid innovation through a unified data platform”

Lead a high-performing, healthy team

  • Coach and grow engineers through clear expectations, regular feedback, and thoughtful development plans.
  • Create an environment where engineers can do focused work, collaborate effectively, and keep improving—without heroics or burnout.
  • Help build a strong team culture that values autonomy, accountability, and craftsmanship.
  • Help the team thoughtfully adopt AI-assisted tooling across the software delivery lifecycle to improve developer productivity and code quality.
  • Lead by example in using AI tools where they add real leverage, and help engineers understand when AI accelerates work—and when human judgment matters most.

Deliver meaningful outcomes in Scrum

  • Partner with Product and Design to translate goals into a clear plan, then guide the team through execution in a Scrum cadence (planning, delivery, review, retro).
  • Manage a multi-million dollar product, growing our top and bottom line while improving platform stability
  • Balance new work, enhancements, bugs, maintenance, and technical debt with sound judgment and transparent trade-offs.
  • Improve delivery quality and speed over time by reducing friction, improving clarity, and continuously strengthening engineering practices.

Raise the bar for engineering excellence

  • Champion strong development practices: code reviews that teach, testing discipline, pragmatic documentation, and maintainable implementations.
  • Encourage “analytical” thinking - creatively solving data problems for our customers is at the heart of this role.
  • Champion “you build it, you own it” - Deliver product while balancing technical health

Build operational strength (without creating toil)

  • Help the team build healthy on-call and operational practices, including ownership, runbooks, sensible alerting, and effective incident follow-up.
  • Lead blameless incident reviews focused on learning and systemic improvements.
  • Improve observability and system health so the team can confidently ship and support the Core product over time. (This role may include on-call participation in the future.)

Be a strong cross-team partner

  • Collaborate effectively across Engineering, Product, Design, and Support.
  • Communicate clearly across time zones and contexts—making decisions understandable and durable.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success typically means:

  • Your engineers are growing in skill, confidence, and ownership—and they want to stay on your team.
  • The team ships consistently with high quality, and reliability improves quarter over quarter.
  • Technical decisions make the analytics product easier to evolve (not harder).
  • Cross-functional partners trust your team because expectations, trade-offs, and delivery are clear.

Our Tech Stack!

  • Data Warehousing: Databricks and Snowflake.
  • ELT: Fivetran, DLT, DBT
  • Visualisation: PowerBI Embed
  • Backend: C# (.NET)

About You-- What Sets You Apart!

  • Previously a Senior+ IC before moving into management (preferably as a data engineer or analytics engineer) .
  • 2+ years experience in Engineering Management.
  • Proven record leading teams to improve quality and speed through technical + process change.
  • Depth in distributed systems and data integrity at scale.
