  • Proven experience in building and scaling data teams from scratch, preferably in a startup or fast-growing tech environment. The ideal scenario looks like this.
  • Proven ability to build and scale data teams in a fast-paced, startup environment.
  • Expertise in BI tools (e.g., Superset, Databricks, Looker) and data platforms (e.g., Snowflake).
  • Strong SQL, Python/R skills, and hands-on experience with data modeling.
  • Experience implementing data strategies that lead to measurable business growth.
