Head of Data Analytics

**IN A NUTSHELL**

At Bellroy, we believe that instinct may spark the first idea, but data is what drives impactful decisions.We're a company that thrives on curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to continuous improvement. A place where ideas are openly debated, deeply explored, and where the best idea rises to the top—no matter its source. We balance practicality with progressiveness, rationality with playfulness, always seeking fresh and better ways to grow and evolve.

As the leader of our Analytics function, you'll guide and grow a talented team of analysts across the business, cultivating a culture of intellectual honesty, curiosity, and critical thinking. You'll mentor their technical and soft skills, help them prioritise projects that maximise business impact, and ensure that the insights they uncover are both actionable and transformative.

While leadership is at the heart of this role, technical expertise is equally vital. You'll dive into complex analytical challenges, shaping frameworks that align with Bellroy's strategic goals and empower informed decision-making. Your technical foundation—spanning SQL, programming languages like Python or R, and BI tools like Looker—will set the standard for excellence within the team. Partnering with Data Engineers and Data Scientists, you'll enhance our data ecosystem, ensuring accessibility, accuracy, and cutting-edge capabilities.

By championing data literacy and building a unified approach to analytics, you'll ensure every Bellrovian has the tools and confidence to make data-backed decisions that drive meaningful outcomes.

Bring your strategic mindset, technical depth, and passion for developing people, and we'll offer you meaningful challenges, a collaborative culture, and the opportunity to lead a high-impact team.
