Analytics Manager

Analytics Manager

£100,000-£120,000 (DOE) UK - Fully Remote Reports to: Head of Data

The company A next-generation, product-led platform that feels closer to fintech than a legacy bookmaker: modern app experience, significant funding, and a culture that treats analytics as a strategic lever, not a reporting function.

Where you fit You'll lead the Analytics team, managing two analysts from day one, with scope to add a BI/analytics headcount later in the year. Your near-term focus is Growth, Product, and Trading; the goal is to shift the business from reactive reporting to proactive, self-serve insight

What you'll be doing

• Lead and develop the analytics team; coach, review, and set a high bar for quality and clarity
• Translate ambiguous business problems into clear questions, robust metrics, and decision-ready outputs
• Partner with non-technical stakeholders (Growth, Product, Trading, Commercial, Finance, Compliance) to prioritise high-value work and manage expectations
• Establish/maintain best practices for analytics (definitions, documentation, testing, version control) and drive adoption of self-serve

Must-have experience (reframed)

• Industry background: You've led analytics in gambling/betting or gaming; we will also consider regulated, customer-scale industries with similar data rigor (e.g., financial services or insurance)
• Environment: Proven success in a product-led start-up/scale-up, comfortable with ambiguity, pace, and competing priorities
• Stakeholders: Excellent communication with non-technical leaders; able to push back diplomatically and align on value vs effort
• Team leadership: Managed analysts/analytics engineers; you set standards and elevate output quality
• Commercial impact: Clear experience turning analysis into outcomes (growth, retention, revenue, risk reduction), not just dashboards
• Technical (required): Advanced SQL and modern dashboarding experience (they use Omni; Looker/other tools are fine

Why this role

• Real ownership: The Head of Data is intentionally stepping back from day-to-day - you'll run analytics and be the strategic partner to the business
• Impact over vanity: Define trusted metrics, cut through noise, and help the company make faster, better decisions
• Growth path: As the team scales, there's room to step into broader data leadership

Compensation & working style

• £100,000-£120,000 base
• Fully remote (UK-based) with a modern, inclusive benefits package and flexible working
