Lead Analyst - Product Analytics

We're ALL in on AI — transforming ourselves into an AI-native organisation while helping our clients do the same. With 23 years of domain expertise, proprietary data partnerships, and industry-leading AI adoption (90% weekly active usage).

The Product Analytics team has embraced AI-native ways of working across our analytical workflows, and we're now moving from adoption to transformation — systematically advancing our analytical assets through an agentic maturity framework we designed ourselves.

Our team operates across three domains:

• Retail Products — Building, transforming, and operating Quantium's global flagship analytics products including Q.Checkout and Q.Scan
• AI Client — Embedding with clients to deliver transformational AI programmes, bringing Quantium's analytics and AI capability directly into partner organisations
• AI Enablement — Rethinking how we operate as an analytics function, driving the tools, frameworks, and practices that make AI-native delivery the default

This is a leadership role for someone ready to develop both people and AI-native analytics capability. You'll coordinate a team of analysts, guide them through technical and AI transformation challenges, and maintain your own technical involvement — all while growing your management skills in a collaborative, supportive environment.

We operate globally across Australia, India, the UK, and North America. You'll work across geographies and functions, helping your team deliver high-quality analytics outcomes while driving the AI transformation of your domain's workflows and assets.

• Drive the AI transformation of analytical assets and workflows within your domain, setting targets against our agentic maturity framework and holding the team accountable to progress
• Model AI-native ways of working — using AI tools in your own work and coaching your team to do the same with increasing sophistication
• Make judgement calls on where AI adds value and where human expertise must lead, building this critical thinking capability across your team
• Contribute to shaping our Agentic Development Framework, bringing practical experience from your domain to inform what works at scale

• Coordinate analytics projects and support individual growth, helping each team member build both technical depth and AI-native capability
• Collaborate on setting goals, providing feedback, and identifying development opportunities aligned to evolving capability requirements
• Coordinate the development of analytics solutions across product initiatives, ensuring quality and consistency in technical approaches
• Support the adoption of new tools, methods, and agentic practices, helping your team move beyond basic AI usage toward workflow transformation

• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and other teams to understand needs and priorities, translating between technical work and business requirements
• Work with other Analytics Leads to share approaches, coordinate AI transformation efforts, and avoid duplicating work across domains
• Contribute to planning and estimation processes, factoring in the efficiency gains from AI-native methods

Technical depth: 7+ years of hands-on experience in data science or analytics roles, with strong Python and SQL skills and a solid understanding of data science methods and their practical application in commercial contexts.

AI-native leadership: Active experience using AI coding and analytics tools (Claude, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar) — comfortable enough to coach others, not just use the tools yourself — with sound judgement on when AI adds value versus when human expertise must lead.

Cloud and engineering foundations: Good experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and cloud-based analytics tools, with an interest in agentic development patterns — building workflows where AI executes multi-step tasks with human oversight and direction.

People leadership: A genuine interest in supporting and developing others, strong communication and collaboration skills across cultures and time zones, and a willingness to learn management skills including goal-setting, feedback, and performance conversations. Formal management experience is welcome but not required.

We don't expect you to meet every requirement — if you meet some but not all requirements, we'd love to hear from you:

• Understanding of, or strong interest in, agentic development patterns
• Interest in supporting and developing others, with good communication and collaboration skills for working across cultures, time zones, and experience levels

• Retail analytics background or interest in learning about consumer behaviour and business applications
