Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Lead Product Data Analyst role stands out because it sits at the intersection of product development and go to market analytics in a B2B SaaS setting. The scope spans R and D and customer facing functions, with an emphasis on turning growing volumes of operational and product data into decisions. The work also reflects a modern SaaS data stack, combining product analytics tooling with a lakehouse direction and shared metric definitions.
From a SaaS career perspective, the role offers durable experience in building analytics as a capability rather than running isolated reports. Owning the lifecycle from metric design through transformation in dbt, experimentation, and influence mirrors how mature SaaS companies institutionalise measurement. Exposure to Amplitude style product analytics and Databricks oriented platforms is broadly transferable across subscription software businesses that rely on retention, adoption, and iterative product delivery.
This position will suit an analyst who prefers close partnership with product and engineering teams and is comfortable being accountable for outcomes, not just outputs. It is a strong fit for someone ready to lead standards and decision processes while still staying hands on in SQL and Python, and for professionals interested in how AI is changing analytics workflows inside SaaS organisations.
