Job Description
We’re looking for a Senior Analytics Director to accelerate Operations Analytics from a primarily reactive partner to a strategic, outcome-driving function.
You’ll shape the “big rock” agenda for our Operations and Mitigations squads, represent analytics at the Product Engineering leadership table, and scale a high-performing team through a period of significant growth.
This is a hands-on role where you'll manage three teams across:
- Customer Support Analytics
- KYC Analytics
- Onboarding Analytics
We're looking for a leader who balances people, product, systems, and operations thinking—and who can turn data into direction months ahead of the curve.
What you’ll do:
Drive strategic analytics by:
- Shifting the function from reactive reporting to proactive, strategic insight and decision support
- Owning the analytics narrative and actions in Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews; ensure we drive sharp, measurable outcomes
- Building a culture of deeper analytical dives, clear problem-framing, and robust experimentation
Partner across Product, Engineering, and Operations to:
- Represent analytics on the Product Engineering leadership team; partner closely with engineering leaders (e.g., system design, data as a product, instrumentation) to make analytics a first-class citizen
- Help architect a more scalable, defect-free onboarding experience; guide automation at scale, A/B testing strategy, and Pareto-driven cost and quality improvements
- Work with Ops leaders on upstream resolution for contacts and complaints, and on the right mix of regional vs. global processes
Own the big operational questions:
- Define and measure granular SLAs that reflect customer impact
- Strengthen end-to-end forecasting, capacity, and productivity modeling
- Improve vendor performance management and accountability
- Identify and prioritise automation opportunities tied to clear business value
Build and scale the organisation:
- Help hire and onboard 20+ new team members as we migrate BI and expand Analytics; maintaining a consistently high hiring bar
- Put in place scalable performance, coaching, and prioritisation practices for a larger, multi-team analytics organisation
- Coach leads through growth challenges, role changes, and—when needed—performance management with clarity and care
- Establish consistent stewardship of our data assets and analytics platforms
Act as a wider Servicing leader:
- Be a trusted deputy for the Head of Servicing Analytics; ensure the org runs smoothly in their absence and as scope grows to 80+ across Analytics (excluding DS and Analytics Engineering).
What success looks like in the first year:
A clear, prioritised “big rocks” roadmap with measurable wins across SLAs, forecasting accuracy, vendor performance, automation throughput, and onboarding scalability
Sharper MBR/QBR decision-making and outcomes driven by analytics
A resilient org design with a strong leadership bench, 20+ high-quality hires onboarded, and consistent performance practices
Analytics embedded in system design; reliable, well-governed data assets; a proactive insights program that shapes 6+ month direction
Why join?
A culture of supportive attainment: high performance paired with genuine care for the people who make it happen
Freedom to shape strategy, organisation, and systems—while holding a high bar for data products, analytics quality, and business impact
Qualifications
Ideally you will have experience working in a high-growth technology organisation
Proven experience managing leaders in analytics or adjacent data functions
A track record of setting organisational direction and delivering outcomes on 6+ month horizons
Exceptional communication and stakeholder influence across Operations, Product, and Engineering
Demonstrated ability to move a function from reactive to proactive insights and decision support
Ownership of analytics data infrastructure and strong familiarity with data-as-a-product principles; comfortable in system design conversations with engineering
Strength in balancing multi-objective operational trade-offs (e.g., SLAs, cost, productivity, quality)
Nice to have:
Experience partnering with or leading ML-adjacent teams
Experience building 0→1 teams across multiple geographies
