We are seeking a hands-on Director of Data to lead a small data and analytics function within a global rewards and marketing analytics business backed by private equity. This role focuses on maximizing the value of an established data and analytics platform through execution of an existing roadmap rather than building analytics strategy from scratch.
The Director of Data will turn data into commercial insight and client value by driving adoption of analytics and data products, supporting the development of predictive and advanced analytics capabilities, and improving data literacy and stakeholder engagement. You will work closely with product, engineering, and commercial teams to align data initiatives to business outcomes and strengthen the organization’s ability to use data effectively.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in analytics, BI, and advanced analytics, with hands-on experience using SQL and ideally Python. You should have strong stakeholder management and communication skills, be comfortable working in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment, and thrive in a small leadership structure where you can influence effectively without building a large function. Experience in loyalty, rewards, marketing analytics, or consultancy may be beneficial, as may exposure to AI, predictive analytics, and global or multi-market operations.
