Senior Client Data & Analytics Lead

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for an influential data and analytics leader who’s excited to work directly with clients — coaching them to get high business value from Kraken’s data and develop a transformative data organization. 

You should bring experience leading a high-performing analytics or data team; a love of working with clients; and a passion for driving the clean energy transition. (Energy experience nice-to-have, but not required.)

The role

You’ll work directly with Kraken clients to help them develop a modern, transformative data and analytics practice as part of their broader Kraken transformation. You’ll:

• Guide them as they build critical reporting & analytics on Kraken data

• Coach client teams on “what good looks like” in analytics practices — including roles, tools, and processes.

• Occasionally get hands-on with sample SQL or BI to help unblock or demonstrate.

• Translate client needs into clear input for Kraken product and engineering

This is a hybrid role: part coach, part practitioner, part translator — helping clients both adopt Kraken data smoothly and build a lasting data operating model to power their transformation. This is perfect for someone with strong data leadership chops who wants more client face-time and a high-impact role. 

This hire will also play a pivotal, strategic role in helping build Kraken’s client-facing data practice, establishing vision, playbook, and best practice advice.

What you’ll do:

• Guide clients in building critical data outputs on top of Kraken data, through working sessions, trainings, and occasional SQL/BI examples.

• Coach client data teams on best practices and help them spot gaps in skills, roles, tools, or process.

• Help clients define reporting & analytics outcomes and identify key Kraken product roadmap elements needed to enable those client outcomes 

• Train Kraken’s broader client delivery team on how to ask effective data questions and leverage data to drive business impact.

What you’ll need to have / be:

• 5-8+ years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence or related field (e.g., analytics manager or director, data consultant, lead data analyst, analytics engineer)

• Familiarity with SQL and modern BI tools – enough to recognize and speak to what “good” looks like & construct examples

• Excellent communications, collaboration and presentation skills

• Experience building or influencing data culture 

• Strong grasp of modern data practices (team, tools, ways of working)

• Experience working in an agile, product-led context

• Excitement for a fast-paced, high-autonomy, fun environment

• Strong influencing skills and ability to challenge traditional ways of thinking

Why you'll love it here:

• Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options including FSAs.
• Paid time off — we know working hard means also being able to recharge as needed, we trust our employees to get the work done and take the time they need.
• 401(k) plan with employer match.
• Parental leave. Biological, adoptive and foster parents are all eligible. 
• Pre-tax commuter benefits.
• Flexible working environment: you need to shift around your schedule? You do you, we genuinely believe in work/life balance. 
• Equity Options: every Octopus employee owns part of the business. We’re a team, working together towards huge goals. Every person is crucial to our success, you should be rewarded as such. 
• Modern office or co-working spaces depending on location.
• We're hiring at both the senior and mid levels. The salary range in NYC ranges on average from $140,000-$240,000 depending on level, relevant experience, role alignment, and technical/client management expertise demonstrated throughout the interview process.
