Senior Director, Data and Analytics

Do you get energized by designing clean, connected data architectures from the ground up? Do you enjoy blending hands-on technical work, in SQL, Python, or BI tools, with strategic leadership across teams? Do you want to own the data stack that powers both product intelligence and customer insights at scale? 

Rockbot is hiring a Head of Data who will blend strategy, architecture, and execution to turn Rockbot’s data into a growth engine. They will build and lead a centralized data organization spanning analytics, business intelligence, and data-driven business processes. This role will bring structure, strategy, and scalability to Rockbot’s growing data ecosystem — transforming fragmented insights into a cohesive, revenue-driving capability.

Partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Operations, Data Science and Finance, you’ll define and operationalize our data roadmap: unifying reporting, shaping architecture decisions, and laying the foundation for data science initiatives that power both internal intelligence and enterprise customer reporting along with ensuring AI driven initiatives are grounded in clean, well modeled data. 

We’re seeking someone who can be both a player-coach and a strategic architect — equally comfortable diving into SQL or Python as presenting KPIs and models to the executive team.

You Will: 

• Define and execute Rockbot’s data strategy. Establish a vision and roadmap that scales from descriptive to predictive insights — connecting data analytics, science, and infrastructure into one cohesive system.
• Build and evolve Rockbot’s data stack. Define and oversee the architecture and workflows spanning GCP, BigQuery, and modern BI tools like Looker and Tableau, ensuring seamless integration between data lake and warehouse layers for unified, high-quality insights across product usage, operations, and advertising performance
• Develop and scale ads analytics. Build and maintain data pipelines that unify ad-serving, proof-of-play, and impression data, enabling accurate reporting and yield optimization across Rockbot’s ad network
• Drive advertising and monetization insights. Partner with Product and Ad Ops to develop attribution models, dashboards, and measurement frameworks that connect ad exposure to revenue, reach, and engagement outcomes.
• Lead analytics and experimentation. Build self-service dashboards, define core business metrics, and enable rapid experimentation on various growth initiatives.
• Champion AI enablement. Partner with engineering and product to develop clean, well-labeled datasets and scalable pipelines that power our AI and personalization initiatives.
• Drive data-informed decision-making. Deliver insights that directly shape product direction, monetization, and operational strategy.
• Shape data governance and quality. Ensure accuracy, security, and compliance across ingestion, transformation, and access layers.
• Build and mentor a high-impact team. Recruit and develop data talent — setting strong technical and cultural foundations for growth.
• Foster a data-driven culture. Empower every Rockbot team member to access insights independently through reliable data models and intuitive dashboards.

You Have: 

• 8–12 years of experience in data analytics, data science, or data engineering, including 4-5 years of team leadership in a growth-stage SaaS or consumer tech environment.
• Proven ability to design and scale data platforms (warehouse, ETL/ELT, modeling, governance) and to influence engineering and product architecture.
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python, plus hands-on experience with dbt, Airflow, Hex, Tableau, Looker (or equivalent modern data tools).
• Experience building analytical models, experimentation frameworks, and performance dashboards used by business and product teams.
• Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS or GCP and emerging ML/AI toolchains.
• Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex data problems into clear business narratives.
• A player-coach mindset: willing to roll up your sleeves while building the long-term structure and talent pipeline.
