[Remote] Data Analytics Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Ashby is hiring its first Data Analytics Manager to lead its analyst team and help shape the Data function as the company grows. The role combines people management and hiring with hands-on analytical work, improving team practices, guiding prioritization, and evaluating how AI affects analytics and access to business data.

Responsibilities

• You will manage Ashby’s three Data Analysts: two core analysts and one analyst focused on Revenue Operations
• We will continue to grow the analyst team, and you will play a meaningful role in finding and assessing future teammates
• I see this role as an opportunity to improve the ways we prioritize work, review it, share knowledge, maintain quality, and collaborate
• We will need to develop stronger domain context and clearer ways of working without turning the team into a set of narrow, disconnected specialists
• You will help the Data team explore and evaluate the relevant tools, workflows, and partnerships—bringing ambition, practicality, and a high bar for accuracy
• You will have a lot of leverage in aiding this process well
• You will help us meet that demand with good judgment
• You should expect to get hands-on with analytical work as you learn the business and the team, and to remain close enough to the work to guide its quality well

Skills

• Can you identify and hire talented people?
• Can you develop and amplify the data practices that let a small team do excellent work?
• Can you lead the team through the transition from broad shared context to meaningful specialization?
• Can you help the Data team navigate the rapidly evolving implications of AI?
• Have exceptional analytical judgment. You can calibrate the depth and rigor of an analysis to the decision at hand: knowing when precision matters, when uncertainty is material, and when additional work would not change the outcome
• Can produce and evaluate transparent, rigorous analysis. You bring readers along through the problem context, data considered, assumptions, meaningful cleaning or reduction steps, caveats, statistical pitfalls, and practical conclusion
• Are a strong visual and written communicator. You care about clear tables and charts, meaningful labels and definitions, coherent narratives, and making complex work understandable without overstating certainty
• Have deep hands-on SQL experience, plus working fluency with dbt-style data modeling, cloud data warehouses, and BI tools
• You do not need to have owned a warehouse as a Data Engineer, but you should be comfortable working across the analytical data stack
• Have led, managed, or functionally acted as a manager for data practitioners in a high-growth company
• Formal people-management experience is valuable, but not required if you have demonstrated equivalent judgment, coaching, hiring, and team-leadership abilities
• Bring a product-manager-like instinct for finding the core need behind a request, understanding users and business context, and turning ambiguous questions into useful work
• Are pragmatic and intellectually flexible. You see data as one important input to good judgment alongside qualitative research, collaboration, user understanding, and clear thinking
• Are intimately familiar with the B2B SaaS industry, workflows and organizational structures
• Have an eye and instinct for simplicity over complexity in all matters
• Have experience in a growth-stage, product-oriented technology company and are energized by helping a lean team scale
• You can appreciate the whole distribution as much as a point estimator
• You will need to be comfortable getting hands-on as you learn the team and helping analysts work through difficult problems
• Ashby analysts are expected to work across the stack, from modeling through final analysis and dashboards
• Fluency with SQL in a modern data warehouse is essential
• Formal people-management experience is valuable

Benefits

• Equity.
• 10-year exercise window for stock options.
• Unlimited PTO, and we will encourage you to take it.
• A minimum of 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, covered by Ashby. For folks outside the US, it may be longer to be in line with regional requirements.
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
• $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
• If you’re in the US, top-tier health insurance for you and your dependents, with 100% of premiums covered by Ashby.
• In other countries, high-quality supplemental health insurance for you and your dependents, also fully covered by Ashby.
