About the role

  • We think it’s insane that so many people and businesses rely on notes to remember and share insights from their meetings.\n
  • Notes are time-consuming and stressful to create while trying to hold a conversation. Even when done well, notes are a poor solution compared to hearing something first-hand.\n
  • We started Fathom to rid us all of the tyranny of note-taking, and people seem to really love what we've built so far: \n
  • We're growing incredibly quickly, so we're looking to grow our small but mighty fully remote team.\n

  • ABOUT THE ROLE\n
  • We’re hiring a Head of Data to help Fathom level up how we use data to make decisions across the company. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll work directly with data, mentor our data scientists, and partner with stakeholders in Marketing, Sales, and Product to shape a smart, scalable data org.\n
  • Roughly a third of your time will be spent doing IC work (writing SQL, running analysis), a third managing and mentoring the data team, and a third aligning with business leaders to drive the right priorities. This is a perfect fit for someone who can alternate between deep technical work and executive-level collaboration—with strong business intuition and a pragmatic mindset.\n
  • This role is open to candidates based in the U.S. and is fully remote.\n
  • WHAT YOU'LL DO\n
  • By 30 Days:\n
  • Understand our key data sources, pipelines, and current reporting structure.\n
  • Begin collaborating with Marketing, Sales, and Product leaders to understand their priorities.\n
  • Lead scoping and review of in-flight data requests to identify immediate gaps or misalignment.\n
  • By 90 Days:\n
  • Stand up a simple but effective stakeholder intake and prioritization process.\n
  • Ensure 5–6 core metrics are defined clearly and yield consistent results across tools like BigQuery, HubSpot, and ChartMogul.\n
  • Coach and mentor existing data scientists; identify gaps or resourcing needs.\n
  • By 6 Months:\n
  • Become a trusted thought partner to the leadership team—someone people go to when they’re making important decisions.\n
  • Enable at least 3 major business decisions with work led by the data team.\n
  • Establish a clear quarterly roadmap for the data org, balancing foundational work and quick wins.\n
  • WHAT YOU'LL GET\n
  • The opportunity to define and lead the data strategy at a fast-growing company.\n
  • A role that blends IC work, leadership, and cross-functional influence.\n
  • A seat at the table during major company decisions.\n
  • Competitive compensation and benefits.\n
  • A collaborative and pragmatic team that values results over ceremony.

Requirements

  • Strong SQL and analytical modeling skills.\n
  • Experience working with modern data stacks (BigQuery, dbt, etc.).\n
  • Comfortable doing hands-on work—writing queries, reviewing dashboards, validating assumptions.\n
  • Prior experience building or leading data teams at a SaaS company.\n
  • Bonus: experience with data activation into tools like HubSpot or ChartMogul.\n
  • A \"nose for value\"—you instinctively focus the team’s energy on the most impactful work.\n
  • Strong business intuition—you understand how go-to-market teams work and what they need.\n
  • Clear and proactive communicator, able to set expectations with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n
  • Collaborative and open-minded, but not afraid to say no.\n
  • High sense of ownership—you make the machine run and flag what needs to be fixed before it breaks.
