About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the data function end-to-end — strategy, roadmap, prioritization across a broad stakeholder surface, and the health of the platform.
Build and develop the team — hire across data science, analytics/business intelligence, and data engineering, and grow the people already here.
Drive marketing measurement and experimentation — quantify the effectiveness of marketing spend and build attribution models.
Lead by building — write SQL, build dbt models, and work in notebooks alongside the team; set the technical bar by doing the work, not just reviewing it.
Keep the platform healthy — ensure pipelines and infrastructure are reliable, performant, and cost-efficient as the business scales.
Partner with Product and Engineering — shape how data is instrumented and captured so it's analyzable downstream, and help QA data at the source.
Be a trusted partner to leadership — own the data narrative with the exec team and make the call on what the team does and doesn't take on.

Requirements

What you’ll need

AI Fluent, including democratization and enablement of the whole Tomo team.
Strong data science and experimentation foundation: statistics and experimental design. You can independently design and analyze an experiment and defend the result.
Proficient in SQL and the modern data stack.
Range over depth: you've worn multiple hats and can operate credibly across data science, analytics/BI, and data engineering.
Strong business and stakeholder fluency — you translate ambiguous business questions into data work and communicate results to non-technical leaders.
A zero-to-one track record — you've been an early data hire, built a team or analytics function from scratch, or are a senior IC ready to step into your first leadership seat and own the build.
Nice-to-haves: Mortgage, fintech, or proptech experience.
Familiarity with our stack: Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, Fivetran.
Hands-on marketing analytics / paid-media measurement.
