We are looking for a Data Lead / Head of Analytics to build and scale the data function across our venture builder ecosystem.

This is a hybrid role combining strategic leadership and hands-on execution. You will own the data direction across multiple portfolio companies, help unify their data into a shared platform, and ensure that analytics becomes a real competitive advantage rather than a reporting function.

You will manage a strong team (7-10 people: product analysts and a data engineering team), working closely with product teams, founders, and cross-functional stakeholders.

The role requires someone who is equally comfortable defining long-term data roadmaps, improving processes and analytical culture, mentoring team members — and writing SQL queries, reviewing DAGs in Airflow, or validating dashboards when needed.

Key challenges:

• Building a unified data platform across multiple portfolio companies

• Establishing scalable processes and analytical standards

• Supporting strategic initiatives with reliable data

• Increasing the maturity and business impact of analytics

Our stack: BigQuery + Superset + Airflow, with active exploration of AI-driven analytics workflows and data agents.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow within a venture environment, shaping the data backbone of multiple products, while staying deeply involved in execution.

Responsibilities:

Strategic & Leadership

• Define and own the overall data strategy across the venture builder and portfolio companies

• Develop and prioritize data roadmaps aligned with business goals

• Introduce new technologies and improve tooling (including AI-driven analytics workflows)

• Mentor product analysts and manage the Data Engineering team

• Develop growth plans and performance frameworks for team members

Operational & Cross-Functional

• Partner with product managers, founders, and stakeholders to define analytical needs

• Translate business goals into measurable metrics and data models

• Ensure consistency of KPIs across portfolio companies

• Support strategic projects with deep analytical involvement

Hands-on Contribution

• Write and optimize SQL queries in BigQuery

• Design and review data models

• Build and review Airflow DAGs

• Validate dashboards in Superset

Requirements:

Experience

• 5+ years in analytics / data roles, including leadership experience

• Experience managing analysts

• Background in product analytics and data infrastructure

Technical Skills

• Strong SQL (BigQuery or similar DWH)

• Experience with BI tools (Superset, Looker, Tableau, etc.)

• Understanding of data modeling, ETL/ELT processes, and pipeline architecture

• Experience with KPI frameworks and product metrics

• Interest in applying AI/automation to analytics workflows is a strong plus

Leadership & Mindset

• Systems thinker with strong ownership mentality

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity

• Able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution

• Strong communication skills — able to translate data into business decisions

Why it is a fantastic opportunity:

• Our business is growing at an exponential scale.

• Non-bureaucratic management that focuses on results.

• Regular performance reviews to assess your progress.

• Remote setup with access to our hubs in Dubai, Yerevan, London and Belgrade.

• Compensation for medical expenses.

• Provision of necessary equipment.

• 20 working days of paid vacation annually.

• 11 days off per year.

• 14 days of paid sick leave to support your health and recovery when needed.

• Access to internal conferences, English courses and corporate events.
