We're a team of about 100 across the UK and the US, with a mature product, strong product market fit and happy customers.\nOur data platform already does a lot. It runs on Google Cloud Platform and feeds our internal tooling and reporting, as well as a number of customer facing resources such as RecTrends, our public benchmarking site. What we're missing is someone who owns where it goes next. Right now that falls on me and Luke, our Director of RevOps, which is why we're hiring a Head of Data.\nYou'll work right across the business: with product and engineering on the data we capture, with our AI engineering team on what we build on top of it, and with Customer Success, Sales and Marketing on the data they rely on every day. You'll set the data strategy everyone works from.\nYou'll also work closely with Tom, our CEO, on a customer facing data initiative we haven't launched yet. We'll tell you more when we talk.\nThe fine print\nUK based and fully remote, working UK hours, with team meetups in London every quarter. Our HQ is in Jersey.\nYou report to me and you're our first data leader. There's no team under you, and that's by design: you set the direction and do the building yourself.\nThis isn't a pipeline maintenance role with a bigger title, but the pipeline is still yours: month end and our other financial processes can't go down.\nA big part of the job is prioritising: questioning requests, weighing their value, and knowing when something is a nice to have.\nOur values actually matter here. We hire people who reflect them in how they work, collaborate, and make decisions.\nWhat you'll do\nSet the data strategy and the guidelines for how everyone builds with and uses our data, so we all work from the same trusted sources rather than our own versions, and keep it current as priorities shift.\nBe the person senior leadership turns to when an idea needs data: shape it, test its value, and deliver the version that matters.\nOwn the data behind our new initiative with Tom, starting with what's missing to build the version customers will see, and get its outputs into our customer intelligence platform (a tool we built in house to understand our customers).\nWork alongside our product managers, not for them: give them the tooling to pull the product usage data they need themselves, and get involved early in product work so the right data is captured.\nGive Customer Success, Sales and Marketing clear, simple views that tell them what matters, like which customers are at risk and where there's room to grow.\nOwn our customer intelligence platform end to end, including the roadmap, and RecTrends, our public benchmarking site.\nOwn the pipeline from source to insight, with the monitoring and data dictionary that let people trust what they find, and data that's clean and documented enough for our AI tools to use safely.\nOver time, build machine learning benchmarks from our customer data with our AI engineering team.\nWhat you'll bring\nOwnership of data strategy or a whole data function at a fast growing startup or scale up, ideally in B2B SaaS\nA data stack you designed and built yourself in a lean team\nExpert SQL and data modelling (Dataform or dbt), with strong Python and code managed properly in version control\nDeep hands on time with BigQuery or a similar cloud warehouse (Snowflake works too) and modern ELT, and the judgement to pick tools on merit, cost and maintainability\nA track record of data products people actually use, including non technical teams, not just dashboards\nExperience turning raw product usage data into metrics people act on\nCommercial judgement that connects data work to revenue, retention and strategy\nClear explanations for senior leaders and non technical teams, in writing and in the room\nDaily use of LLMs and agentic tools, backed by the engineering depth and strong opinions to know when they're wrong, and how to make data safe and reliable for them\n\nBonus, if you have\nPractical ML or statistical modelling on real business problems, such as benchmarking, scoring or forecasting\nEvent streaming, such as Pub/Sub or Kafka\nVertex AI or LLM pipelines\nFivetran, Hightouch, Segment or PostHog\n\nYou may not enjoy this role if\nYou want a team underneath you. There isn't one, so defining the strategy and then delivering it yourself has to excite you.\nYou'd rather not work closely with non technical people to deliver and enable internal data products.\nYou want an unlimited budget. We need to be smart about how we approach projects, so each one delivers enough value to justify the cost.\nWhat we offer\nWe want Pinpoint to be the best place you've ever worked, somewhere you feel valued, supported and excited to grow. Here's what you get:\nComprehensive healthcare: excellent medical, dental and vision coverage for you and your family\nUnlimited holidays: take the time you need to rest and recharge\nMental health support: unlimited, immediate access to professional counselling via Spill\nRetirement contributions: 401k or pension contributions depending on your location\nRemote first: work where you're most productive, with flexibility and trust as the default\nEquity with real upside: share in the long term value you help create\nFully paid parental leave: up to 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents\nLearning budget: annual funds for courses, books or anything that supports your growth\nA detailed overview of our benefits is here.\nWhat you're wondering\nWho will I work with? Me, Luke, our Director of RevOps, and Tom, our CEO, on the new initiative. You'll also work closely with Dom, our CTO, and the engineering team, who build the products that produce much of our data, plus our product managers and the Customer Success, Sales and Marketing teams who use it.\n What tools will I use? GCP (BigQuery, Dataform, Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, Vertex AI), Fivetran (plus other replication on the product side), Hightouch, HubSpot, GitHub, Hex and Vercel. It's a good foundation, not a fixed one: we expect you to challenge it.\nWhat does success look like? In your first 90 days, you'll own all of our data infrastructure and maintenance, and work out what data we're missing for the new initiative. By the end of year one, everyone gets the data they need quickly from the same trusted sources and knows where to find it, product managers pull usage data themselves, the new initiative has full coverage of the metrics it needs, Tom and the leadership team see you as a proper strategic partner on data, and engineering respects you.\n What's the salary? We'll talk about pay openly in your first conversation with Mike, our VP of Talent.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6750,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Recruiting Software & ATS"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T20:54:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pinpoint-head-of-data","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pinpoint-head-of-data.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T11:41:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16503,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":723201},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=723201"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpinpoint-head-of-data"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpinpoint-head-of-data"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpinpoint-head-of-data"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pinpoint-head-of-data\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpinpoint-head-of-data"}]}
