Job Title: Head of Data & Analytics
Salary: £100,000- £110,000 + Bonus + EV Allowance
Location: Hybrid (2-3 days per week in London office)
We're looking for a Head of Data and Analytics to own our data strategy and turn the information flowing through Pod into decisions that grow the business. You'll build and lead a small central data team, and work in partnership with data analysts based across our functions, from installer operations to customer experience, giving them the standards and direction to do their best work.
This is a senior leadership role reporting to our CIO. You'll set the direction for how Pod uses data and the standards for managing it well, and you'll be the person our leadership team turns to for the insight behind our biggest decisions.
How we work matters as much as the tools. We follow a 'manage the core, free the edge' approach.
The core is well-governed and observable. Working closely with Architecture on a shared data model so published facts are consistent, joinable and open. Platform Engineering builds and operates the platform. Software teams identify and publish facts they own.
This role owns the reporting layer: the single, trusted set of business measures and definitions the rest of Pod reports from. Teams across the organisation, from operations to sales to finance, are then free to explore and act on this data for themselves, supported by the analysts this role leads.
We favour open, engine-agnostic formats over proprietary warehouse lock-in, and we are building AI and agents in as a first-class way to explore and interpret data.
Here's what our CIO had to say:
"At Pod, data isn't a support function, it's a core part of how we make decisions, serve customers and scale our business. We're looking for someone who can bring together strategy, governance, analytics and AI to create a trusted data foundation that helps every team move faster and make better decisions. This is an opportunity to shape how data is used across the organisation and have a direct impact on our growth, customer experience and operational excellence."
