The role
Nebius is looking for a Director of Analytics.
In this role you’ll lead the analytics team and strengthen how data is used to support decision-making across the company. Reporting to the VP of Data & Analytics, you’ll translate the broader data strategy into clear priorities, high-quality analytical delivery, and measurable business impact.
You’ll manage and develop teams of analysts and BI, partner closely with senior stakeholders across Product, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Customer Success, and Operations, and ensure that the company has trusted metrics, actionable insights, and scalable analytical capabilities.
This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role. You’ll be expected to set direction, create structure, raise analytical standards, and remain closely involved in the company’s most important business questions.
You’re welcome to work in our offices in Tel Aviv, Israel
Your responsibilities will include:
Team leadership and development. Lead, mentor, and develop the analytics team. Set clear expectations, establish ownership, support professional growth, and create a high-performance culture focused on business impact, analytical quality, and accountability.
Analytics strategy execution. Partner with the VP of Data & Analytics to shape the analytics strategy and own its execution, prioritization, and delivery. Translate company goals into a clear analytics roadmap and ensure resources are focused on the highest-impact business needs.
Business partnership. Act as a trusted analytical partner to senior leaders across Product, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Customer Success, and Operations. Understand their objectives, challenge assumptions, and help turn strategic questions into measurable decisions and actions.
Decision support and advanced analysis. Lead high-impact analyses across customer behavior, product performance, revenue, retention, pipeline, operational efficiency, and business growth. Ensure findings are translated into clear recommendations rather than presented as data alone.
Metrics and analytical governance. Establish and maintain consistent KPI definitions, business logic, and analytical standards. Ensure stakeholders use trusted and aligned metrics across dashboards, reports, forecasts, and business reviews.
Dashboard and reporting oversight. Guide the design, implementation, and improvement of executive and operational dashboards. Ensure reporting is relevant, reliable, easy to use, and aligned with business priorities.
Self-service analytics. Enable business teams to access and use data independently while maintaining appropriate governance, security, quality, and consistency. Identify where self-service creates value and where centralized analytical support is required.
AI-driven analytics. Help define and implement AI-assisted analytics capabilities that reduce manual reporting, accelerate insight generation, support natural-language access to data, and proactively surface risks or anomalies. Establish clear quality and validation standards for AI-generated outputs.
Cross-functional data collaboration. Work closely with Data Engineering, Data Architecture, and other technical teams to ensure that analytical datasets, semantic models, and data pipelines support current and future business requirements.
Operating model and prioritization. Build scalable processes for intake, prioritization, delivery, documentation, and stakeholder communication. Balance urgent business requests with strategic initiatives and long-term capability development.
We expect you to have:
A minimum of 15 years' experience in analytics, business intelligence, or a related data function within a technology or data-driven company.
At-least 10 to 12 years of experience leading and developing analytics teams, including setting priorities, managing performance, and building strong analytical talent.
Strong business judgment and the ability to connect analytical work to revenue, customer, product, operational, and strategic outcomes.
Experience partnering with senior executives and functional leaders, with the confidence to challenge assumptions and influence decisions.
Strong proficiency in SQL and a solid understanding of data modeling, BI platforms, analytical methodologies, and modern data environments.
Experience defining company-level KPIs, metric frameworks, and scalable reporting standards.
Strong analytical foundation, including statistical reasoning, cohort analysis, funnel analysis, forecasting, experimentation, and performance measurement.
Ability to communicate complex analytical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Strong understanding of data quality, governance, documentation, and the importance of consistent business definitions.
Demonstrated ability to operate in a fast-growing environment, manage competing priorities, and create structure where processes are still developing.
It will be an added bonus if you have:
Experience with BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or Superset.
Familiarity with modern data stacks and technologies such as dbt, Airflow, BigQuery, Snowflake, ClickHouse, or Postgres.
Experience working across multiple business domains, including Product, Go-to-Market, Finance, Customer Success, and Operations.
Experience building or implementing semantic layers and governed self-service analytics environments.
Practical experience with AI-assisted analytics, analytical agents, natural-language querying, or automated anomaly detection.
Experience in a cloud infrastructure, SaaS, technology platform, or high-growth environment.
Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative, technical, economic, or business-related field. An advanced degree is an advantage.
