The Opportunity
Flock is seeking a Director of Data Analytics to lead our analytics organization across Analytics Engineering and the Analytics Data Platform. This role will manage teams responsible for building trusted, analysis-ready data assets, standardized metrics, and self-service analytics that support decision-making across the entire company, including Revenue, Finance, Customer Success, Marketing, Product, and Operations.
This leader will own analytics strategy, technical standards, and delivery execution while acting as a partner to stakeholders – driving prioritization, tradeoffs, and escalation as analytics demand scales with the business. We’re looking for a deeply hands-on technical leader who can set strategy and actively contribute — building dbt models, writing SQL, reviewing PR’s, and debugging data issues alongside the team.
What You’ll Lead
You will manage teams responsible for the following, and we expect you to be hands on here:
Build and maintain core dbt data models that transform raw data into trusted analytics assets
Implement and operate semantic layers to standardize metric definitions across the company
Own data quality and reliability, including testing, monitoring, and alerting
Enable self-service analytics through governed BI tools (Sigma) and discoverable data models
Partner deeply with Revenue, Finance, Customer Success, Marketing, Product, and Ops
Operate with an analytics-as-code mindset, leveraging Redshift/Snowflake, dbt, SQL, and Git.
Your role is to ensure this work scales sustainably and delivers measurable business impact.

Stakeholder Partnership & Prioritization
Serve as the primary analytics leader for senior stakeholders across the business, translating key business needs into actionable next steps for the team

Clearly communicate tradeoffs, capacity constraints, and risks, escalating when needed
Metrics, Governance & Trust
Own core business, revenue, and financial metric definitions
Establish governance that ensures consistency without slowing delivery
Champion single sources of truth while enabling broad, safe access to data
