Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As the pioneering Product Analytics Team Lead for FundraiseUp's Core team, you will architect and lead the company's central analytics function, establishing foundational metrics, analytical frameworks, and data standards that empower product teams across the organization. This is a unique opportunity to build a critical function from the ground up, defining its mission, setting strategic priorities, and shaping its roadmap for growth and impact.
• You will be instrumental in scaling the analytics capability by actively participating in the hiring process, mentoring and developing a team of talented analysts, and meticulously planning workloads to ensure optimal team performance. While building the team, you will also remain hands-on, tackling complex analytical challenges and conducting in-depth research to drive strategic decision-making.
• A key responsibility will be the design and development of robust, shared analytical frameworks, such as comprehensive metrics trees, that provide a consistent and unified view of product performance across the entire company. This will involve defining key performance indicators (KPIs) and establishing standardized methodologies for their measurement and interpretation.
• You will lead cross-product growth initiatives, conducting deep-dive research to uncover actionable insights that can be applied across multiple user funnels and product areas. Your work will directly influence product strategy and drive significant improvements in user engagement and conversion rates.
• Owning the company-level Business Intelligence (BI) dashboards is a core part of this role. This includes overseeing the underlying data architecture, ensuring data quality and integrity, and championing a unified language for metrics across all departments. You will be the guardian of our company's data narrative, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and accessibility.
• Establishing seamless collaboration processes between the core analytics team, individual product teams, and other data professionals within the company will be crucial. You will foster a data-driven culture by facilitating knowledge sharing, promoting best practices, and ensuring that analytics insights are effectively integrated into the product development lifecycle.
• Your role will involve translating complex data findings into clear, concise, and compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, primarily based in the US. This requires not only analytical prowess but also strong communication and presentation skills.
• You will work closely with product managers, engineers, and designers to understand their analytical needs, provide data-driven recommendations, and help them measure the impact of their initiatives. This collaborative approach ensures that analytics efforts are aligned with business objectives and contribute directly to product success.
• The Core Analytics team operates as a central platform, meaning its output is leveraged by all product teams rather than serving a single product. This requires a strategic mindset focused on scalability, reusability, and the creation of enduring analytical assets.
• You will be responsible for defining and maintaining the analytical standards and best practices that guide all data-related activities within the company, ensuring consistency and reliability in our data insights.
• This leadership position offers the chance to make a significant impact on a rapidly growing, globally recognized company that is revolutionizing the nonprofit fundraising landscape. You will be at the forefront of data innovation, helping to shape the future of how leading nonprofits engage with their donors.
• The role demands a proactive, hypothesis-driven approach to problem-solving, encouraging you to explore data, formulate questions, and rigorously test your assumptions to uncover novel insights.
• You will contribute to a transparent company culture where data is openly discussed, and insights are shared broadly to inform strategic decisions and foster collective learning.
• Your work will directly support FundraiseUp's mission to make donating as fast and convenient as possible, enabling millions of dollars in contributions to vital causes worldwide.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in analytics, with at least 2 years in a leadership or team management role.
• Strong foundation in mathematical statistics and probability theory.
• Advanced proficiency in SQL and a solid understanding of analytical data warehouse architecture.
• Strong Python skills, including experience with libraries like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and scikit-learn.
• Hands-on experience with BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or Metabase.
• Experience designing data marts and analytical models.
• Clear and concise written English for documentation and cross-team communication (B2 level or higher).

🏖️ Benefits

• Private medical insurance for the employee and their family.
• 22 paid vacation days per year.
• Up to 14 paid public holidays per year.
• 5 company-paid sick leave days.
• English learning courses.
• Relevant professional education and training opportunities.
• Access to a gym or swimming pool.
• Home office setup assistance, including support for purchasing furniture and equipment.
• Co-working space access.
• Fully remote working arrangement within Portugal.
• €50 monthly allowance for internet and mobile phone expenses.
