Data Analytics Manager

The posting, as Ashby wrote it

ABOUT THIS ROLE

👋 Hi, I’m Kevin https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamantine/. I manage the Data team and our analytics products at Ashby. I’m hiring our first Data Analytics Manager at an important point in Ashby’s growth, and I hope you have the patience to read a job posting that may be a little unconventional.

You will manage Ashby’s three Data Analysts: two core analysts and one analyst focused on Revenue Operations. Our Data Engineer will initially continue to report directly to me, so this role is deliberately more focused on the analytical side of the team while remaining a close partner in the broader data ecosystem.

The primary result of your successful management will be a team of analysts with excellent judgment, strong technical methods, clear communication, and a deep sense of ownership. I am looking for someone who can help that team do better work, choose better work, and grow into the next stage of Ashby alongside the company.

Rather than begin with a long list of tools or years of experience, I want to share four questions that sit at the center of this role. If you apply, your answer should be “yes” to each. Should we get a chance to talk, what I will really want to understand is the nuance: your unique how, why, and what behind your answers.

• Can you identify and hire talented people?

We will continue to grow the analyst team, and you will play a meaningful role in finding and assessing future teammates. Great analysts combine technical judgment, curiosity, communication, business context, and a willingness to own work end to end. Can you recognize that combination in others?

• Can you develop and amplify the data practices that let a small team do excellent work?

Ashby’s Data team is lean, and our practices will need to evolve as the company becomes more complex. I see this role as an opportunity to improve the ways we prioritize work, review it, share knowledge, maintain quality, and collaborate.

• Can you lead the team through the transition from broad shared context to meaningful specialization?

Today, each analyst can know a great deal about the company and data stack. That will become more challenging as Ashby grows across products, regions, systems, and business functions. We will need to develop stronger domain context and clearer ways of working without turning the team into a set of narrow, disconnected specialists.

• Can you help the Data team navigate the rapidly evolving implications of AI?

AI will affect how our analysts work, how the company self-serves analytical questions, and how other teams use internal business data. Much of that work depends on trusted, well-modeled, appropriately accessible warehouse-derived data. You will help the Data team explore and evaluate the relevant tools, workflows, and partnerships—bringing ambition, practicality, and a high bar for accuracy.

These questions add up to a simple reality: Ashby is growing quickly, and the surro

• 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby - do it when you feel financially comfortable.
• Unlimited PTO, and we will encourage you to take it.
• A minimum of 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, covered by Ashby. For folks outside the US, it may be longer to be in line with regional requirements.
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
• $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
• If you’re in the US, we offer top-tier health insurance for you and your dependents, with 100% of premiums covered by Ashby. In other countries, we provide high-quality supplemental health insurance for you and your dependents, also fully covered by us.

Ashby’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We’re being deliberate about building that environment from the ground up. I hope that excites you enough to apply.
