Ashby • ,

10d • $150,000 - $240,000 • Remote

About The Position

Ashby is seeking a Data Analytics Manager to lead its team of three Data Analysts. This is a critical role at an important stage of Ashby's growth, focusing on managing and developing the analyst team to achieve excellent judgment, strong technical methods, clear communication, and a deep sense of ownership. The manager will be responsible for identifying and hiring talented individuals, improving data practices, leading the team through specialization, and navigating the implications of AI on data analytics. This role requires a hands-on approach, especially in the initial stages, as the company grows and its data needs become more complex.

Requirements

• Exceptional analytical judgment: ability to calibrate depth and rigor of analysis to the decision at hand.
• Ability to produce and evaluate transparent, rigorous analysis, including problem context, data considered, assumptions, cleaning steps, caveats, statistical pitfalls, and practical conclusions.
• Strong visual and written communication skills, focusing on clear tables, charts, meaningful labels, coherent narratives, and making complex work understandable.
• Deep hands-on SQL experience.
• Working fluency with dbt-style data modeling.
• Working fluency with cloud data warehouses.
• Working fluency with BI tools.
• Experience leading, managing, or functionally acting as a manager for data practitioners in a high-growth company (formal people-management experience valuable but not required if equivalent judgment, coaching, hiring, and team-leadership abilities are demonstrated).
• Product-manager-like instinct for finding the core need behind a request, understanding users and business context, and turning ambiguous questions into useful work.
• Pragmatic and intellectually flexible approach, seeing data as one input alongside qualitative research, collaboration, user understanding, and clear thinking.
• Intimate familiarity with the B2B SaaS industry, workflows, and organizational structures.
• An eye and instinct for simplicity over complexity.
• Experience in a growth-stage, product-oriented technology company and energized by helping a lean team scale.
• Ability to appreciate the whole distribution as much as a point estimator.
• Fluency with SQL in a modern data warehouse is essential.
• Comfort working across the analytical data stack.
