About You


You love data… because of how it impacts decisions, makes for better products, and ultimately changes lives. You enjoy leading data teams and enabling other teams to leverage data intelligently. You are proactive, collaborative, and communicative. You bring experience and insights relevant to a freemium subscription business (user acquisition, retention, monetization) and the foundational work around experimentation, reporting, and forecasting.


You’re looking to use your skills to work at a company that you actually care about (and that actually cares about you!). If that sounds like you, let’s talk. ❤️


What you'll do

  • Improve the understanding of how each product feature performs and provide actionable recommendations
  • Manage a highly effective team of data analysts
  • Establish best practices for experimentation, reporting, and insight generation
  • Accurately measure, diagnose, and forecast our business
  • Enable the rest of our company to self-serve insights through intuitive dashboards and AI integrations
  • Partner closely with our Head of Data Engineering to ensure data validity and consistency

Preferred Skills

  • 8+ years in data analytics / data science
  • 5+ years in data leadership and people management
  • Experience in consumer at scale with at least 10M Monthly Active Users (we’re around 50M and will grow a lot).
  • Hands-on experience with modern dashboard and experimentation tools, even better if you helped with in-house development
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills working in a fully distributed team
  • Strong sense of ownership, responsibility, and appreciation for the value of effective communication with both peers and non-technical teammates
  • Puts value on building strong relationships with colleagues and partners
  • Proven track record of being proactive, planning effectively, and constructively finding paths forward when blockers arise

About the Opportunity

  • This is a full-time position
  • We are 100% remote
  • This role is open to applicants who can work the USA or Canada.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
