Your Role in Our Mission

As Product Analytics Lead, you will build and lead the analytics function from zero — defining our analytics strategy, establishing the operating model, and hiring the team that gives every squad at FundedNext a shared language of data. You will sit at the intersection of product, data, and leadership: owning the infrastructure that surfaces what is happening across our platforms, coaching both analysts and PMs to act on it, and synthesising cross-squad signals that no single team could see on its own. This is a builder role for someone who thrives on turning ambiguity into rigour.

How You'll Make an Impact

Building the Function

• Build the Product Analytics function from zero — define the analytics strategy, hire Product Analysts, and establish the hub-and-spoke operating model that serves all squads

• Manage three coverage analysts: Growth Coverage (CFD Growth, Futures Growth, Partnerships), Platform & Core Coverage (CFD Rules, Futures Rules, Payments, Identity), and Engagement & Retention Coverage (Trader Success, retention metrics across Growth squads)

• Set dashboard standards, data model governance, and metric taxonomies that all squads use consistently — ensuring “conversion rate” means the same thing across CFD Growth and Futures Growth

Analytics Infrastructure

• Build the foundational analytics infrastructure — funnel dashboards for Growth squads, rule impact simulation models for Rules squads, cohort retention curves for Trader Success, payment success rate monitoring for Payments, and affiliate performance tracking for Partnerships

• Own A/B test design standards and statistical rigour — ensure experiments across all squads are properly designed, sufficiently powered, and correctly interpreted

• Partner with the Lead, Product Operations on data quality, AI-powered analytics tooling, and the overall product operations technology stack

Insight Generation & Enablement

• Synthesise cross-squad insights that no single squad would see — identify patterns where a change in one squad impacts outcomes in another (e.g. a rule change affecting both retention and conversion)

• Operate as an enablement function, not a service desk — teach PMs to interpret data themselves and coach analysts on proactive insight generation rather than reactive report filling

• Define and enforce the analytics-PM boundary: analytics answers “what is happening?” (dashboards, metrics, anomaly detection, simulations) and PMs answer “what do we build about it?” (discovery, prototyping, shipping)

Leadership & Strategic Partnership

• Present cross-squad analytics insights to the Head of Product and leadership team — surface systemic trends, flag emerging risks, and provide the data foundation for strategic resource allocation decisions

• Coach analysts on proactive insight generation, raising the analytical bar across the entire product organisation

What You Bring

• 6+ years of analytics experience, with at least 2 years leading an analytics team or function

• Strong technical skills — proficiency in SQL, Python (pandas/numpy), and analytics/BI tools (Looker, Metabase, Tableau, or similar)

• Experience building analytics infrastructure from scratch — defining data models, dashboard standards, metric taxonomies, and governance frameworks

• Proven ability to hire, coach, and develop analysts — this person will grow the team from zero to four

• Experience with product analytics specifically (not just marketing or business analytics) — funnel analysis, feature adoption, cohort retention, A/B test design and interpretation

• Understanding of financial metrics — GP margin, LTV, pass/fail ratios, revenue per user — and how they connect to product decisions

• Experience operating as an enablement function rather than a service desk — teaching PMs to self-serve on data

• Ability to synthesise cross-squad or cross-product insights — identifying patterns that span multiple teams

• Experience in fintech, trading platforms, or high-frequency transactional products is a strong advantage

• Strong communication skills — ability to present data insights to non-technical stakeholders and translate business questions into analytical frameworks

• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, or equivalent); Master’s degree preferred
