About the Role

Novakid is hiring a Head of Data & Analytics to lead the next stage of our analytics evolution — transforming a strong existing foundation into a modern, AI-enabled decision system that scales with the business.

This is a strategic leadership role with broad scope: you'll own the analytics organization, the technology transformation, data science, and the data culture across the company. You won't be starting from scratch — you'll be accelerating a transformation already underway.

What You'll Lead

Analytics Strategy & Operating Model Define how data and analytics supports growth, product development, commercial performance, and operations. Shape what is self-serve, AI-assisted, automated, and expert-led.

Analytics Team Leadership Lead a team of analysts embedded across product squads and business functions. Raise the bar on speed, strategic impact, and self-service enablement while keeping analysts focused on the highest-value work.

AI-Powered Analytics Scale practical AI use cases: natural-language data access, AI-assisted insight generation, anomaly detection, automated reporting, and productivity tooling for analysts and stakeholders.

Experimentation & A/B Testing Strengthen Novakid's experimentation culture — making it faster and easier to design, launch, measure, and learn from experiments without heavy analyst involvement at every step.

Data Science Build a structured, high-impact data science capability spanning ML for business use cases, forecasting, experimentation support, AI-powered product features, and research for new learning experiences.

Metric Governance & Data Foundation Drive clearer KPI ownership, stronger documentation, and a trusted semantic layer across Product, Growth, Sales, Marketing, and Finance — reducing ambiguity and conflicting interpretations.

• Faster turnaround on common business questions and broader stakeholder self-service

• A modern AI-enabled analytics capability adopted across the company

• A stronger experimentation practice with less dependency on analyst bandwidth

What We're Looking For

• Proven track record transforming analytics toward scalable, self-serve, AI-enabled models

• Strong technical grounding in modern data stacks, cloud warehouses (we use BigQuery), BI tooling, and semantic modeling

• Hands-on SQL fluency and solid understanding of analytics engineering principles

• Experience leading or reshaping embedded analyst teams

• Practical, hands-on experience applying AI in analytics at scale

• Experience building or rebuilding a data science function spanning business support and product features
