The posting

Gearset has been a data-driven SaaS company from day one, and we're looking for a Head of Data to shape the future of how we collect, model, and leverage our rapidly growing ecosystem of telemetry and customer insights.

Reporting to the SVP of GTM Strategy & Operations, you will guide a multi-disciplinary data Team to foster a thriving internal data community, drive self-serve analytics adoption, and embed data into the heart of our strategic decisions as we scale.

WHAT’S THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A HEAD OF DATA AT GEARSET?

- You’ll own Gearset’s data strategy, lead the Data Team and shape the direction for how Gearset collects, models, and utilises data across the entire business.

- Translate an increasing wealth of product telemetry, a growing customer database, and cloud-native backend systems into actionable insights that drive better company-wide decisions.

- Empower teams across Gearset to independently access and learn from our data, enabling them to make high-impact changes to our product and business processes.

- Build and nurture an internal data community, ensuring key business metrics are clearly defined, consistently monitored, and embedded seamlessly into our strategic decision-making.

WHAT YOU’LL ACHIEVE

- Line manage and develop a multi-disciplinary data team spanning analytics, analytics engineering and data engineering, building business capability within the team.

- Own data tooling budgets and vendor selection processes

- Work with Legal and Compliance to ensure the data platform and its use meet data protection obligations, including UK GDPR.

- Experience defining a Data team's approach to AI/ML-driven analytics, including evaluating where LLMs and generative AI tooling can improve data workflows or self-serve analytics.

- Deep expertise in SQL and data modelling, coupled with a strong grasp of software engineering principles applied to data (version control, automated testing, CI/CD).

- Strong background working with cloud analytics platforms (Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake), transformation tools (dbt), and modern visualisation software (Omni, Looker, Tableau, Power BI).

- Experience establishing data governance and data quality standards.

- Experience driving self-serve analytics adoption and data literacy across non-technical teams.

- Ability to influence senior leaders, define key business metrics, and translate complex data analysis into proactive solutions that drive strategic company decisions and value.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
