Director Data Analytics

We are looking for a Director of Data Analytics to lead our Analytics function at DPDzero. 80% of collections decisions in DPDzero are driven by analytics and insights. You will own the charter that powers this and create a perennial moat for DPDzero’s success.

• Define the data analytics strategy and align it with the long-term success of the company.
• Partner with business and product leadership to translate short & long-term goals into measurable outcomes.
• Build and scale a high-calibre analytics team: hire well, set clear objectives, and enable them to deliver impactful insights at speed.
• Establish best-in-class processes for reporting, dashboards, and performance tracking across digital, calling, and field collections.
• Drive data-driven decision making across the company by developing frameworks, KPIs, and experimentation practices.
• Mentor and guide analysts to grow as business partners, not just report creators.

• We’re growing really fast and this is a great opportunity to achieve significant career growth.
• All our core decisions are data-driven; analytics is our primary moat.
• You’ll work on one of the cost deployments in consumer finance in India - We do telecalling, Field visits, AI Voice, SMS, WhatsApp etc. - with analytics playing a central role in shaping strategy.
• If you’re someone driven by doing great work and can move fast to deliver results, this will be the right place for you.

What you must have

• Ability to move fast with velocity while keeping the big picture in mind.
• 8+ years of experience in analytics, with at least 3+ years leading a team of 10+ data analysts.
• Proven track record of delivering business impact through analytics in high-growth environments (Series B+ startups preferred).
• Hands-on ability with Python, SQL, reporting tools, and building dashboards; experience in performance measurement, funnel analytics, and forecasting.
• Experience working with leadership to define metrics, measure success, and adjust course rapidly.
• Strong people leadership skills: hiring, mentoring, and scaling analytics teams.
• If you’re looking for a strict 9-5, this won’t be a great fit — we’re scaling fast and it needs a focused effort.

• Experience with advanced statistical modeling, ML/AI-powered analytics, or GenAI data products.
• Background in fintech, lending, or financial services.
• Experience reporting directly to founders.
