What the job involves

• Raylo’s Strategy & Analytics team sits at the heart of the business, powering decisions with fast, reliable and scalable data
• As Raylo expands across new partners, new verticals, and into new geographies, the volume, complexity and strategic importance of data continues to grow

• You will ensure that data is clean, reliable, well-structured and delivered at speed
• Your work will unblock analysts and the wider business, increase the scale of data we can process and improve the stability and performance of our pipelines

• In the short term, your work will remove operational bottlenecks, reduce single points of failure, and improve data availability and latency
• This will put you at the heart of decision-making across every part of the business
• Longer term, you will define and deliver the strategic architecture that enables Raylo to scale: supporting new product launches, international expansion, advanced ML capabilities, deep funnel optimisation, fraud modelling, and more
• This role is foundational to Raylo’s ability to achieve its growth plan
• You'll take full ownership of dbt models, BigQuery performance, and end-to-end data pipelines. Lead continuous improvement of our data CI/CD processes, developing a best in class analytics infrastructure
• Work closely with the VP Strategy and Analytics, the analytics team and wider business (product, engineering, finance, operations) to make sure Raylo’s data is delivering to its potential
• Improve pipeline efficiency, reduce data latency, and build reliable, scalable data structures for analysts and stakeholders
• Be part of a fast-paced, high-ownership environment where innovation is encouraged, and data underpins every decision
