A unicorn B2B SaaS company is looking for a Director of Data (Engineering & Insights) 🦄

  • Experience working in hyper-growth scale-ups and/or Data tooling companies
  • Experience with consumption/usage based business models


*I anticipate a fair amount of interest in this role, so please feel free to message or email me (damian@wavetalent.co) with your CV, highlighting your relevance to the role, and I'll get back to you asap.
