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</strong>; 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</strong>; 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</strong>; 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
