Role Overview

We're seeking an innovative Head of Data Infrastructure & Analytics to join our dynamic team at the forefront of internal innovation.

You will take the helm of our e-commerce data operations, leading a team that powers strategic decisions through enterprise-grade data infrastructure and governance while architecting robust systems, implementing data observability frameworks, and ensuring data reliability that drives confident decision-making across our high-growth D2C business.

The Career Accelerator

You'll compress 3 years of data infrastructure mastery into 1. You'll build automated validation systems, data quality checks, and monitoring frameworks in your first year. You'll architect tracking infrastructure that handles $2M+ monthly ad spend with zero tolerance for errors—fixing GA4 configurations, implementing server-side tracking, and building data observability that catches bugs before they reach leadership. This pace energizes impatient high-performers. It exhausts clock-watchers. If you get frustrated when you're not learning fast enough, you'll thrive here.

What Is In It For You:

This isn't just another data leadership role. This is your chance to become a true industry architect.

1. Transform from Analytics Manager to Enterprise Data Architect

You'll go from managing dashboards to architecting mission-critical infrastructure that handles $24M+ in annual ad spend. You'll build automated validation systems that catch bugs before humans see them, implement server-side tracking for attribution accuracy, and establish data observability frameworks that make data quality incidents a thing of the past. Within 12 months, you'll have architected systems that most data leaders never get to touch in their entire careers—not because they're not capable, but because most organizations move too slowly to give them the opportunity.

2. Join the Elite Organization and Partner with the 1%:

• 🏆 Top 5 Mattress Brand in US
• 🌍 Great Place to Work Certified
• 💡 Work with Forbes Council Member CEO
• Gain firsthand exposure to strategic decisions and high-velocity execution that drives a global brand

3. Experience a World-Class Lifestyle

Dubai offers an unparalleled quality of life—pristine beaches, world-class dining, and a vibrant international community. With 0% income tax, your compensation goes further. Enjoy year-round sunshine, ultramodern infrastructure, and a cosmopolitan culture where ambition is celebrated. This isn't just a career move; it's a lifestyle upgrade that redefines what's possible both professionally and personally.

4. Build Systems That Scale Globally

You won't just fix today's problems—you'll architect infrastructure for international expansion. Your data quality systems, validation frameworks, and observability protocols will become the foundation for scaling across multiple markets. You'll establish the technical standards that power confident decision-making in a multi-million dollar business, building a legacy of reliability that outlasts your tenure.

What You'll Need:

Must-Have Technical Chops

• 7+ years in digital analytics with proven track record of owning data quality in high-stakes B2C environments
• Expert-level knowledge: GA4, GTM, server-side tracking, data pipeline architecture, e-commerce tracking
• Can diagnose and fix tracking setup errors across the entire stack - you don't just identify problems, you solve them
• Strong technical skills: SQL expert (can write complex queries in your sleep), Python or R proficiency for data validation
• Data engineering knowledge: Understand ETL/ELT, data warehousing, API integrations, event-driven architecture
• Experience building data quality systems: Automated validation checks, data observability, monitoring frameworks

The Operational Mindset

• You're a builder, not a presenter: More excited about architecting systems than making slides
• Zero-bug mentality: You take it personally when bad data gets through
• Process-driven: You document, systematize, and scale solutions
• Comfortable saying no: Protect data quality even when it's politically inconvenient
• Firefighter turned fire-preventer: You've dealt with data disasters and built systems to prevent them

Leadership & Communication

• Proven team leadership: Can manage 3+ person analytics team with focus on quality and growth
• Can explain technical issues to non-technical executives without dumbing it down or over-complicating
• Enforce standards: Your team knows accuracy is non-negotiable
• Cross-functional influence: Work with engineering, marketing, and product to fix data at the source

Red Flags (Don't Apply If This Is You)

• You want to focus on strategic insights and executive storytelling
• You prefer analysis over building systems
• You think "good enough" data is acceptable
• You can't explain how server-side tracking actually works
• You've never built a data validation framework

Good-to-Have:

You've done this before:

• "I reduced data quality incidents by 90% at [Company] by implementing [specific systems]"
• "I architected the tracking infrastructure that handled $XXM in ad spend with 99.9% accuracy"
• "I built automated validation that caught errors before they reached leadership"
• "I led the server-side tracking migration that solved our attribution problems"

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with data observability tools (Monte Carlo, Great Expectations, dbt tests)
• Background in analytics engineering or data reliability engineering
• Track record in high-growth e-commerce (sleep, wellness, DTC)
• Experience with attribution modeling for multi-channel marketing
• Built data quality systems that scaled internationally
