Director of Data Platform & Analytics

Description:

• Pleo offers smart company cards that automate expense reports and simplify company spending
• Pleo had recognized the value of data from its early days and with the support of leadership, we invested in processes, teams, and technology. Today we have a technology platform in place and several analytics teams working across the company
• Today we are a 300+ team, from over 44 nations, sitting in our Copenhagen HQ, London, Stockholm, Berlin, Madrid, or Montreal offices – and quite a few full-time remotes in 15 other countries! Being HQ'd out of Copenhagen means we're inspired by sensible things like a good work-life balance

You will:

• Drive the roadmap and direction of a Data Infrastructure Platform, which helps a variety of teams integrate and process their data
• Define an ownership model and drive a strong culture of data quality across the company
• Set up governance and security standards to ensure the right data gets in front of the right people at the company
• Drive overall data literacy and culture in which data is used to generate new business value across all parts of the business. Advocate a culture of experimentation, backed up with data, and evangelize the organization about how data should be used day-to-day
• Scale up and define the structure of how data analytics & data science teams work across the organization to support decision-making in each department
• Start a Data Science team and set them up for success to help various product & commercial teams to develop new data-driven experiences across Pleo's products
• Directly manage multiple analytics & data science teams and indirectly work with functions that will be key partners to execute your strategy (operations, engineering, product)
• Become a strong voice in the management and execution of the data strategy and putting it into practice across the company

We’ll geek out if:

• You are curious and passionate about data through its full life-cycle and the business impact it can have. You follow the industry and know a variety of modern approaches and technology trends supporting the drive towards data-driven business
• You know the language of business and technology folks. You find it easy to navigate all the way from a discussion about the business value we can derive from the data to the "engine room" to guide analytics teams with their challenges or to talk with engineering teams about what are the most important aspects of the technology platform we should invest into
• You know how to drive systematic change. With a strategic mindset, you are able to break down complex business transformations into a well-articulated plan and execute them together with your teams and other relevant stakeholders
• You are ready to get hands-on where necessary but also know how to drive multiple teams directly and indirectly towards a shared goal
• You know a lot about data and what a great setup looks like. You deeply care about data quality and you have a strong opinion and expertise about what needs to be done to power cross-company data initiatives for both analytics and data science use cases
• You have excellent hands-on knowledge of SQL and data ecosystems

Benefits:

• Continual learning & development opportunities
• Team camps around the world - remotes flown in (around once a quarter) for team building and learning (hurry up and apply already so we can bring you to the next one)
• Catered lunch
• 25 days holidays (annual)
• Loads of weird and wonderful niche communities to join in the company (we're talking guerrilla gardening, liquids tasting, the Pleo band, learning to code initiatives, that type of thing)
• A totally pain-free remote working/working from home policy
• Wild enthusiasm and encouragement from us if you want to host MeetUps, events, etc - we'll help (venue, food etc)
