Analytics Engineering Manager

Role

SmarterDx is seeking an experienced Analytics Engineering Manager to lead our Core Analytics Team and build the next generation of our data platform. This team owns "version 2" of our analytics data layer, which is a top strategic priority for 2026 and is foundational to our data-driven business.

Reporting to the Director of Data Analytics, you'll lead a multidisciplinary team spanning Analytics Engineering, Data Architecture, BI, and Analytics. You'll set the technical direction for analytics while scaling a team and partnering closely with Data Engineering, Data Platform, Product, and Business stakeholders.

This role is ideal for someone with experience managing, and a hands-on background in, Analytics Engineering or Data Engineering who wants to own analytics architecture and standards while multiplying impact through leadership. While not an IC role, you'll stay close to the work by reviewing models and PRs, guiding architectural decisions, and unblocking complex technical problems.
