THE OPPORTUNITY

Allara is hiring its first Director of Data to build the backbone of how the company collects, models, governs, and uses data. Reporting to the VP of Engineering, this is a hands-on leadership role: in your first months you will be in the pipelines yourself, cleaning up our ETL, consolidating duplicated logic, and closing gaps in our source data. Over time you will define and drive the company's longer-term data strategy, set the standards the rest of the organization builds on, and grow the data function as Allara scales. This is a player-coach role, senior enough to own strategy and still happy to get the pipelines right yourself, and the hands-on work comes first.

Location: Hybrid (NYC). We value in-person collaboration and aim for at least three days per week in our NYC office, with flexibility as needed.

YOUR IMPACT

• Make Allara's data trustworthy, so every team can make decisions on numbers they believe.
• Turn a fragmented, duplicated data setup into one reliable source of truth with traceable lineage.
• Define the data strategy that lets Allara scale its use of data, from AI-assisted analysis across departments and leveraging health data to drive better outcomes.
• Build and lead the data engineering function over time.
• Partner with Product, Growth, Finance, Strategy, and Clinical as the owner of the shared data platform and standards.

RESPONSIBILITIES

First 6 to 12 months (hands-on)

• Clean up the pipelines. Audit our existing ETL across Fivetran and Mozart into Snowflake, stabilize reliability and freshness, and fix the brittle parts the business has learned to work around.
• Consolidate duplication. Collapse duplicated models, metrics, and transformation logic into a single, well-documented modeling layer, so there is one definition of each number rather than several that disagree.
• Close source-data gaps. Map what we collect against what the business needs and close the gaps across our systems.
• Make the data trustworthy. Stand up data-quality testing, monitoring, and alerting.
• Establish one source of truth. Define a canonical metric
