We’re looking for a Senior Analytics Director to accelerate Operations Analytics from a primarily reactive partner to a strategic, outcome-driving function.

You’ll shape the “big rock” agenda for our Operations and Mitigations squads, represent analytics at the Product Engineering leadership table, and scale a high-performing team through a period of significant growth.

This is a hands-on role where you'll manage three teams across:
- Customer Support Analytics
- KYC Analytics
- Onboarding Analytics

We're looking for a leader who balances people, product, systems, and operations thinking—and who can turn data into direction months ahead of the curve.

What you’ll do:

Drive strategic analytics by:

Shifting the function from reactive reporting to proactive, strategic insight and decision support
Owning the analytics narrative and actions in Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews; ensure we drive sharp, measurable outcomes
Building a culture of deeper analytical dives, clear problem-framing, and robust experimentation

Partner across Product, Engineering, and Operations to:

Represent analytics on the Product Engineering leadership team; partner closely with engineering leaders (e.g., system design, data as a product, instrumentation) to make analytics a first-class citizen
Help architect a more scalable, defect-free onboarding experience; guide automation at scale, A/B testing strategy, and Pareto-driven cost and quality improvements
Work with Ops leaders on upstream resolution for contacts and complaints, and on the right mix of regional vs. global processes

Own the big operational questions:

Define and measure granular SLAs that reflect customer impact
Strengthen end-to-end forecasting, capacity, and productivity modeling
Improve vendor performance management and accountability
Identify and prioritise automation opportunities tied to clear business value

Build and scale the organisation:

Help hire and onboard 20+ new team members as we migrate BI and expand Analytics; maintaining a consistently high hiring bar
Put in place scalable performance, coaching, and prioritisation practices for a larger, multi-team analytics organisation
Coach leads through growth challenges, role changes, and—when needed—performance management with clarity and care
Establish consistent stewardship of our data assets and analytics platforms

Act as a wider Servicing leader:

Be a trusted deputy for the Head of Servicing Analytics; ensure the org runs smoothly in their absence and as scope grows to 80+ across Analytics (excluding DS and Analytics Engineering).

What success looks like in the first year:

A clear, prioritised “big rocks” roadmap with measurable wins across SLAs, forecasting accuracy, vendor performance, automation throughput, and onboarding scalability
Sharper MBR/QBR decision-making and outcomes driven by analytics
A resilient org design with a strong leadership bench, 20+ high-quality hires onboarded, and consistent performance practices
Analytics embedded in system design; reliable, well-governed data assets; a proactive insights program that shapes 6+ month direction

Why join?

A culture of supportive attainment: high performance paired with genuine care for the people who make it happen
Freedom to shape strategy, organisation, and systems—while holding a high bar for data products, analytics quality, and business impact

Ideally you will have experience working in a high-growth technology organisation
Proven experience managing leaders in analytics or adjacent data functions
A track record of setting organisational direction and delivering outcomes on 6+ month horizons
Exceptional communication and stakeholder influence across Operations, Product, and Engineering
Demonstrated ability to move a function from reactive to proactive insights and decision support
Ownership of analytics data infrastructure and strong familiarity with data-as-a-product principles; comfortable in system design conversations with engineering
Strength in balancing multi-objective operational trade-offs (e.g., SLAs, cost, productivity, quality)

Nice to have:

Experience partnering with or leading ML-adjacent teams
Experience building 0→1 teams across multiple geographies
