Head of Data

🚀 ABOUT FATHOM

We think it’s insane that so many people and businesses rely on notes to remember and share insights from their meetings.

Notes are time-consuming and stressful to create while trying to hold a conversation. Even when done well, notes are a poor solution compared to hearing something first-hand.

We started Fathom to rid us all of the tyranny of note-taking, and people seem to really love what we've built so far:

🥇 #1 Highest Satisfaction Product of 2024 on G2

🔥 #1 Rated on G2 with 4,500+ reviews and a perfect 5/5 rating

🥇 #1 Product of the Day and #2 AI Product of the Year

🚀 Most installed AI meeting assistant on both the Zoom and HubSpot marketplaces

📈 We’re hitting usage and revenue records every week

We're growing incredibly quickly, so we're looking to grow our small but mighty fully remote team.

We’re hiring a Head of Data to help Fathom level up how we use data to make decisions across the company. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll work directly with data, mentor our data scientists, and partner with stakeholders in Marketing, Sales, and Product to shape a smart, scalable data org.

Roughly a third of your time will be spent doing IC work (writing SQL, running analysis), a third managing and mentoring the data team, and a third aligning with business leaders to drive the right priorities. This is a perfect fit for someone who can alternate between deep technical work and executive-level collaboration—with strong business intuition and a pragmatic mindset.

This role is open to candidates based in the U.S. and is fully remote.

• By 30 Days:

  • Understand our key data sources, pipelines, and current reporting structure.

  • Begin collaborating with Marketing, Sales, and Product leaders to understand their priorities.

  • Lead scoping and review of in-flight data requests to identify immediate gaps or misalignment.

• By 90 Days:

  • Stand up a simple but effective stakeholder intake and prioritization process.

  • Ensure 5–6 core metrics are defined clearly and yield consistent results across tools like BigQuery, HubSpot, and ChartMogul.

  • Coach and mentor existing data scientists; identify gaps or resourcing needs.

• By 6 Months:

  • Become a trusted thought partner to the leadership team—someone people go to when they’re making important decisions.

  • Enable at least 3 major business decisions with work led by the data team.

  • Establish a clear quarterly roadmap for the data org, balancing foundational work and quick wins.

Hard Skills

• Strong SQL and analytical modeling skills.

• Experience working with modern data stacks (BigQuery, dbt, etc.).

• Comfortable doing hands-on work—writing queries, reviewing dashboards, validating assumptions.

• Prior experience building or leading data teams at a SaaS company.

• Bonus: experience with data activation into tools like HubSpot or ChartMogul.

Soft Skills

• A "nose for value"—you instinctively focus the team’s energy on the most impactful work.

• Strong business intuition—you understand how go-to-market teams work and what they need.

• Clear and proactive communicator, able to set expectations with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Collaborative and open-minded, but not afraid to say no.

• High sense of ownership—you make the machine run and flag what needs to be fixed before it breaks.

• The opportunity to define and lead the data strategy at a fast-growing company.

• A role that blends IC work, leadership, and cross-functional influence.

• A seat at the table during major company decisions.

• Competitive compensation and benefits.

• A collaborative and pragmatic team that values results over ceremony.
