What the role asks for

What you'd do

  • Own the data function end-to-end - strategy, roadmap, prioritization across a broad stakeholder surface, and the health of the platform.
  • Build and develop the team - hire across data science, analytics/business intelligence, and data engineering, and grow the people already here.
  • Drive marketing measurement and experimentation - quantify the effectiveness of marketing spend and build attribution models.
  • Lead by building - write SQL, build dbt models, and work in notebooks alongside the team; set the technical bar by doing the work, not just reviewing it.
  • Keep the platform healthy - ensure pipelines and infrastructure are reliable, performant, and cost-efficient as the business scales.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering - shape how data is instrumented and captured so it's analyzable downstream, and help QA data at the source.
  • Be a trusted partner to leadership - own the data narrative with the exec team and make the call on what the team does and doesn't take on.
  • AI Fluent, including democratization and enablement of the whole Tomo team.
  • Strong data science and experimentation foundation: statistics and experimental design. You can independently design and analyze an experiment and defend the result.
  • Proficient in SQL and the modern data stack.
  • Range over depth: you've worn multiple hats and can operate credibly across data science, analytics/BI, and data engineering.
  • Strong business and stakeholder fluency - you translate ambiguous business questions into data work and communicate results to non-technical leaders.
  • A zero-to-one track record - you've been an early data hire, built a team or analytics function from scratch, or are a senior IC ready to step into your first leadership seat and own the build.
  • Hands-on marketing analytics / paid-media measurement.

Job description

Who We Are Tomo is a digital mortgage company on a mission to eliminate the greed and complexity in lending, helping homebuyers save thousands of dollars. Our AI-driven customer experience makes the lending process faster, less frustrating, and more affordable. By passing these savings directly to homebuyers, we eliminate excessive fees and inflated rates that cost Americans billions each year. Backed by top-tier venture investors, including Ribbit, Citi Ventures, NFX and Progressive Insurance, Tomo is poised to become one of the most valuable fintech startups of our generation. ABOUT THE ROLE Tomo is looking for a hands-on data leader to own data end-to-end and build out the function as you’ll inherit a mature data platform, a small, high-leverage team. Your mandate will be to build that team out and push the ball forward. This is a player-coach role: you’ll be in the work yourself designing experiments, building data models, and partnering directly with the business while standing up the team and processes that let it scale. You’ll be the data face to the leadership team, translating questions from across the business - Marketing, Finance, Sales, Capital Markets, Mortgage Ops, Compliance, Product and Engineering - into measurement and models that move decisions.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must-haves - AI Fluent, including democratization and enablement of the whole Tomo team. - Strong data science and experimentation foundation: statistics and experimental design. You can independently design and analyze an experiment and defend the result. - Proficient in SQL and the modern data stack. - Range over depth: you've worn multiple hats and can operate credibly across data science, analytics/BI, and data engineering. - Strong business and stakeholder fluency - you translate ambiguous business questions into data work and communicate results to non-technical leaders. - A zero-to-one track record - you've been an early data hire, built a team or analytics function from scratch, or are a senior IC ready to step into your first leadership seat and own the build. - Hands-on marketing analytics / paid-media measurement. Nice-to-haves - Mortgage, fintech, or proptech experience. - Familiarity with our stack: Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, Fivetran. WHY THIS ROLE You'll own data at a company where it directly drives how marketing dollars are spent and how customers are served - with a clear mandate, executive sponsorship, and the freedom to build the team and the strategy from the ground up. Employee Benefits We strive to anticipate your needs in order for you to be a healthy, motivated, and happy team member. We provide a variety of competitive benefits including (but not limited to): - Equity Ownership: All teammates receive stock options-we win together - Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision plans for you and your dependents with some plans 100% covered - Work-life balance and a generous paid time off policy - In order to support teammates who become parents, Tomo Mortgage provides paid parental leave - 401(k) retirement plan
