About The Position

We’re scaling quickly, and data is one of our most important strategic levers for unlocking growth and improving patient outcomes. As a Data Analytics Lead, you'll own end-to-end analytics within a business function—shaping our data roadmap, bringing structure to ambiguous problems, and enabling smarter, faster decision-making across the organization. This role blends analytics engineering and strategic insights: you’ll be responsible for building clean, scalable data models and pipelines, and surfacing clear, actionable insights that accelerate our impact. Reporting to our Head of Engineering, and as one of the first hires focused on analytics at Nourish, you’ll help define our long-term vision for data and collaborate closely across our Operations, Engineering, Product & Design teams. Our data team is fully based in NYC and goes into the office 3-4 days a week, and while we don't have any required number of days in office, we're looking for people who would be excited to be part of that culture.
