Job Description

We’re looking for an Analytics Director to accelerate Servicing Analytics from a primarily reactive partner to a strategic, outcome-driving function.

You’ll shape the “big rock” agenda for our Operations and Mitigation squads (FinCrime, KYC, Central Ops, CS, Onboarding), represent analytics at the Product Engineering leadership table, and scale a high-performing team through a period of significant growth.

This is a hands-on role where you'll manage three teams across:
- Customer Support Analytics
- FinCrime, KYC, and Central Ops Analytics
- Onboarding Analytics

We're looking for a leader who balances people, product, systems, and operations thinking—and who can turn data into direction months ahead of the curve.

What you’ll do:

Drive strategic analytics by:

  • Shifting the function from reactive reporting to proactive, strategic insight and decision support
  • Owning the analytics narrative and actions in Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews; ensure we drive sharp, measurable outcomes
  • Building a culture of deeper analytical dives, clear problem-framing, and robust experimentation

Partner across Product, Engineering, and Operations to:

  • Represent analytics on the Product Engineering leadership team; partner closely with engineering leaders (e.g., system design, data as a product, instrumentation) to make analytics a first-class citizen
  • Help architect a more scalable, defect-free onboarding experience; guide automation at scale, A/B testing strategy, and Pareto-driven cost and quality improvements
  • Work with Ops leaders on upstream resolution for contacts and complaints, and on the right mix of regional vs. global processes

Own the big operational questions:

  • Define and measure granular SLAs that reflect customer impact
  • Strengthen end-to-end forecasting, capacity, and productivity modeling
  • Improve vendor performance management and accountability
  • Identify and prioritise automation opportunities tied to clear business value

Build and scale the organisation:

  • Help hire and onboard 20+ new team members as we migrate BI and expand Analytics; maintaining a consistently high hiring bar
  • Put in place scalable performance, coaching, and prioritisation practices for a larger, multi-team analytics organisation
  • Coach leads through growth challenges, role changes, and—when needed—performance management with clarity and care
  • Establish consistent stewardship of our data assets and analytics platforms

Act as a wider Servicing leader:

  • Be a trusted deputy for the Head of Servicing Analytics; ensure the org runs smoothly in their absence and as scope grows to 80+ across Analytics (excluding DS and Analytics Engineering).

What success looks like in the first year:

  • A clear, prioritised “big rocks” roadmap with measurable wins across SLAs, forecasting accuracy, vendor performance, automation throughput, and onboarding scalability
  • Sharper MBR/QBR decision-making and outcomes driven by analytics
  • A resilient org design with a strong leadership bench, 20+ high-quality hires onboarded, and consistent performance practices
  • Analytics embedded in system design; reliable, well-governed data assets; a proactive insights program that shapes 6+ month direction

Why join?

  • A culture of supportive attainment: high performance paired with genuine care for the people who make it happen
  • Freedom to shape strategy, organisation, and systems—while holding a high bar for data products, analytics quality, and business impact

Qualifications

  • Ideally you will have experience working in a high-growth technology organisation
  • Proven experience managing leaders in analytics or adjacent data functions
  • A track record of setting organisational direction and delivering outcomes on 6+ month horizons
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder influence across Operations, Product, and Engineering
  • Demonstrated ability to move a function from reactive to proactive insights and decision support
  • Ownership of analytics data infrastructure and strong familiarity with data-as-a-product principles; comfortable in system design conversations with engineering
  • Strength in balancing multi-objective operational trade-offs (e.g., SLAs, cost, productivity, quality)

Nice to have:

  • Experience partnering with or leading ML-adjacent teams
  • Experience building 0→1 teams across multiple geographies
