About the role

We have 7 data scientists, 2 analytics engineers, and no one managing them. They're brilliant individually — each one owns a different product area — but there's no shared roadmap, no consistent methodology, and no one translating their work into language the board understands. You'll be the first data science manager. Your job: bring structure without killing the autonomy that makes this team productive. That means building a shared evaluation framework, aligning individual projects with business goals, running weekly syncs that people actually find useful, and presenting quarterly results to the executive team. We need a player-coach. Someone who can review a model architecture in the morning and present a business case to the CFO in the afternoon. If you've managed data scientists before and you know how to protect their focus while keeping leadership informed, we should talk.

Fully remote.
