About the role

We’re looking for a senior, hands-on data leader to join Point as Head of Data. You’ll lead Point’s analytics, data engineering, and data science teams, with a strong emphasis on using data to drive better business decisions and measurable impact across the company.

You’ll inherit a modern data platform and strong technical foundation, and your mandate is to raise the bar on analytical rigor, experimentation, and business impact.

This role reports to our Chief Growth Officer.

• Lead the vision, strategy, and execution for Point’s data function across analytics, data engineering, and data science.
• Operate and evolve a modern data stack (Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Fivetran, Estuary, Sigma, Hightouch, PostHog), with a focus on data modeling, metrics design, and analytical usability.
• Own company-wide metric definitions, experimentation standards, and analytics prioritization, driving clarity, consistency, and accountability in decision-making.
• Lead and actively contribute to Point’s analytics function, ensuring insights, metrics, and experimentation meaningfully influence business decisions.
• Build more scalable infrastructure and workflows for data science, enabling higher-impact modeling, analysis, and experimentation.
• Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing data team.

• Proven track record building and leading data teams that drive meaningful business outcomes.
• Deep expertise in metrics, experimentation, and decision-oriented analytics; you’ve owned analytical frameworks that directly influenced strategy and execution.
• Strong technical and systems foundation, with the ability to evaluate data architectures, tooling, and data science approaches.
• Track record of translating ambiguous business problems into clear analytical approaches and outcomes.
• Enjoys being hands-on when needed and knows when to delegate.
• Clear communicator and trusted leader who sets a high bar and invests in their team.

In states without PFL, Point offers up to 8 weeks of paid parental leave. In addition, employees also receive 4 weeks of fully paid transition time, during which you may work 2–3 days per week while receiving full base pay.
• Equity: We offer meaningful equity because we believe in sharing the value you help create. Your contributions directly impact our growth, and your equity gives you a stake in our future success. 
• Financial wellness:  We provide 401K retirement plans for employees as well as guaranteed life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage.
