Analytics Lead

BlueThrone•Capon Bridge, WV

About The Position

BlueThrone acquires and scales profitable mobile apps. We don't build from zero. We buy apps with strong potential and turn them into category leaders through better product decisions, smarter monetisation, and disciplined user acquisition. Today, our portfolio generates tens of millions of downloads and serves millions of monthly active users across multiple verticals. We're profitable, independent, and growing through disciplined bets - not hype. We are a lean team of A-players where execution matters more than fancy titles. We operate without layers or slow approvals, and we care about one thing: building things that move the needle. As our Analytics Lead, you'll own how BlueThrone measures itself. Right now, analytics is everywhere and nowhere - work happens across user acquisition, monetisation, finance, and our internal revenue platform, but no single person owns the logic, the definitions, or the standards that tie it all together. That's your job. Your work will directly influence product decisions, monetisation strategy, and how we scale every app in the portfolio. This isn't a manager-from-a-distance role. It’s deeply hands-on. You'll write the SQL, build the models, design the system, and lead a small team of BI engineers doing the same. You'll be the person leadership trusts when the question is "Is this cohort actually profitable?" or "Why does Week-2 retention look different across two apps?" - and you’ll make sure metrics are clearly defined and interpreted consistently across all apps.

Requirements

Senior analytics or BI leadership experience with deep, hands-on SQL and modeling work - you've been the most technical person in the room and the one setting direction.
Mobile app experience is mandatory. You've worked with mobile KPIs (DAU/MAU, LTV, ROAS, retention curves) and understand how attribution actually works in practice.
A track record of building analytics from a messy, fragmented state into something coherent - defining metrics, standardising tracking, getting teams aligned on the same numbers.
Strong business thinking. You ask "what decision does this unlock?" before "what query do I run?"
Comfort leading a small team while staying in the work yourself.
You can move fast in evolving setups without waiting for the perfect spec.

Nice To Haves

Experience scaling analytics across a portfolio of apps or products (not just one).
Familiarity with dbt, and Metabase - or the appetite to pick them up in week one.
Familiarity with mobile attribution platforms (Adjust, AppsFlyer, or similar).
Willingness to experiment with LLMs to automate the boring parts of data work.

Responsibilities

Build the source of truth. Define core product, growth, and revenue metrics - and ensure they’re calculated consistently across every app in the portfolio.
Design the analytics system. Own how events, attribution, funnels, and reporting are structured. Decide how data gets collected, modeled, and interpreted.
Stay hands-on. Write SQL, build models (revenue, UA, product insights), ship dashboards. You're the senior operator, not a layer of oversight.
Partner across the business. Work directly with Growth, UA, Monetisation, and Product as a core stakeholder not a ticket queue.
Lead the BI team. Set direction for our BI engineers, raise the bar on quality, and help them grow.
Scale across apps. Build reusable systems that work portfolio-wide, not one-off solutions for one app.
Own data quality end-to-end. Validate accuracy, catch inconsistencies before stakeholders do, and make sure two teams looking at the same number see the same number.
