As Head of Analytics, you'll own the analytics strategy that informs product decisions, drives growth, and customer outcomes. You'll lead a team of analysts and report to the Head of Data & AI. This is a small but mighty team with outsized impact – we are a data company and have an strong data-driven culture, which means this role owns both internal analytics and analytics that are embedded in our product. We are looking for a star player who can operate on multiple levels – from defining a metric in a leadership meeting to defending how it's calculated in the semantic layer.
You'll partner with Product, GTM/Customer Success and Engineering to define success metrics, uncover insight, and embed data-driven decision-making across the product and organization. You will lead and build the measurement and insight layer that shapes what we ship, how we grow, and the outcomes our customers get from the platform, turning event intelligence into decisions our customers and Vendelux can act on.

- Partner with cross-functional leaders and executives to define and monitor core company metrics and prioritize initiatives based on measurable customer and business impact.
- Own the forecast and insights into drivers of company and product performance.
- Lead and conduct deep-dive analyses of how customers use event intelligence – eg data coverage, campaign conversion, ROI measurement – to surface product and growth opportunities and inform the roadmap.
- Partner with Engineering teams to build and continuously improve the semantic layer underlying the agentic analytics platform, tighten metric governance, and expand governed self-serve analytics.
Requirements
- 8-10+ years in product analytics, data science, or quantitative analytics, ideally in B2B SaaS.
- 3-5+ years leading and building analytics teams and partnering with senior leaders to inform strategy.
- Master’s degree in Analytics, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or similar quantitative field preferred but not required.
- Advanced SQL and strong Python skills (or comparable analytical programming).
- Deep experience with product metrics and growth analytics in a B2B context.
- Hands-on with modern data platforms like Snowflake and dbt, as well as BI tools such as Sigma, Looker, or Tableau.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration, especially with non-technical senior stakeholders.
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Benefits & Perks
- Competitive base salary and bonus
- Healthcare covering medical, dental and vision
- Work from our NYC HQ
