Head of Data, Private Investor

About Our Private Investor Business:

YipitData has an opportunity to revolutionize the private investor market by providing something that has never existed before – visibility into how any private company is really doing. While we’re early in this market, we expect it could be even larger than the other categories in which we operate, with tens of thousands of private investors, service providers, and other customers who care about private company performance and have no high fidelity solution today.
We’ve built the first phase of the solution to this problem, based on data we’ve spent years aggregating; it’s called Signals, and it helps our customers see how any private company is performing, leveraging numerous proprietary spend datasets, with more data on the way. Signals helps early stage investors find breakout companies just as they’re starting to inflect, do early diligence on companies that already have scale to understand quality and durability of growth, and dive deep on entire categories and customer segments to see how the broader market is moving and how competition is evolving. We launched Signals coverage late last year with data on 250k+ AI and Software vendors, signed our first cohort of clients, and we’re quickly scaling both the platform and the org.
The private investor org is a small and scrappy team operating inside a billion-dollar company, which means you get the best of both worlds: startup speed with enterprise resources. We ship fast, iterate constantly, and wear many hats. If you thrive in environments where you can see the direct impact of your work, move from idea to execution in days (not quarters), and want to help shape a product's trajectory from the ground floor, this is the place for you.

About The Role:

We are looking for a Head of Data, Private Investor to help define the future of our business unit by making our private-company insights the most trusted in the market. You’ll own data methodology, quality, and ultimately accuracy, leading the work that gives investors confidence in how private AI & Software companies are truly performing.
The Private Investor product team is a small but scaling org within an org, building a product at a rapid pace; our Head of Data will be a leader who can take a nascent data product with high promise and build it into a market-leading source of truth. This means getting your hands dirty in the early days with a small team; digging into and redefining existing business logic that stitches together numerous first and third-party datasets, building on our benchmarking data to drive better accuracy, and as the function scales, hiring, mentoring, and managing a high-caliber team of data analysts. We are looking for a leader who is energized by both ends of that arc: someone senior enough to set strategy and build an org, but who still wants to spend time deep in the data and lead from the front.
