Hey everyone - I'm looking for a
head of data analytics. We're targeting a director level hire, but I can flex up for the right candidate. The ideal person for this job comes from a technical data background -- they're fluent in SQL, star-schema modeling, ETL, etc -- but is very excited and comfortable with cross-departmental collaboration, and maybe has some business operations experience themselves. A knockout for me would be someone who I can send into a room with our heads of marketing, finance, operations, etc and feel really confident that they'll do a fantastic job understanding those teams' needs and developing a strategy for meeting them, both today and over the next 3 years. (They'll also need the confidence and executive presence to not get run over by the leaders in those departments.)
We desperately need help in this area. Our teams are highly data driven, but over the last 2 years we've acquired 3 other companies, which has driven a lot of fragmentation in tooling, sources and processes. The right person here will be able to transform our data operations and reinforce our rigorous, data-driven culture. Tegus has been kinda a rocket ship and I see this hire as a key element of making sure we're growing up and not just growing!
This person would likely also manage our small data engineering team, but we have pretty good talent and leadership there so I don't think this hire themselves needs to be a data engineering expert. Overall this person would manage a 4 person team, growing to ~7 over the next 12 months.
My company, Tegus, is a financial research provider based in Chicago and with a large office in Vancouver. We're about 650 people, 130 of whom are on the tech team. This role would report to me directly - we're ideally looking for people in the Chicago area but I'll consider exceptional remote candidates. Please send anyone who you may be a fit to me here on Slack or at
lionel@tegus.com. Thanks!
