Hopefully you’ll take the leap of faith and apply.

About You

You have excellent communication skills. You know how to translate understandings gained from data analysis into easily understood concepts when collaborating across the organization. You can empathize with less statistically conversant teammates and also realize the valuable qualitative and observational insights those teammates bring to solving problems.

You wear many hats. You are constantly improving your people management skills. You have sufficient statistical and engineering knowledge and experience to build rapport with the data team. On a regular basis you can expect to be holding one on ones with your team, running a weekly analytics meeting, coordinating and reviewing analysis, and helping prioritize current data needs across the company.

You have experience hiring and managing data scientists, engineers, and analysts. This isn’t your first rodeo. You may not have hired or managed hundreds of people before, but you have hired, trained and managed at least one data scientist or analyst before.

You can keep track of, prioritize and marshal multiple projects. We’re a small team, and there’s no shortage of things you could be doing in a day. You’re able to compose complementary projects to save time and hit strategic goals that otherwise couldn’t be achieved with a single project.You’re comfortable communicating with your team, and you work hard to teardown roadblocks for your team.

You take pride in empowering teammates. The data team enables everyone at Zapier to make better decisions and be better at their jobs. An important part of this role is leveling up the ability of everyone on team Zapier to be able to perform their own analysis quickly and accurately.

Things You Might Do

Zapier is a startup, so you’ll likely get your hands dirty in a little bit of everything. That said, here are some things you’ll likely work on:

  • Develop effective and enjoyable ways to communicate, monitor, and marshal your team through weekly one one ones and team meetings
  • Keep the leadership team informed on your team’s progress in ways that are easy and enjoyable to receive.
  • Build rapport with each member of the data team and work hard to support them in leveling up their skills
  • Collaborate across functions to help set roadmaps that will achieve business goals through data analysis
  • Ensure that feedback regarding analysis and decisions being made based on those analysis across the organization is provided quickly and effectively
  • Actively recruit, onboard and train new data scientists, engineers, and analysts at Zapier
  • Help customers via support to ensure they have the best experience possible
