Director, Analytics

About the Opportunity

Direct Travel is in the midst of a defining data transformation, and this role sits at the center of it. We are seeking a Director of Analytics — a hands-on technical leader who will own the strategic direction, architecture, and delivery of our global analytics platform. This platform serves both internal stakeholders and thousands of clients worldwide, making it one of the most visible and impactful investments the company is making.

This is not a role for someone who manages from a distance. We need a leader who has personally built and shipped data products — someone who has architected pipelines, modeled semantic layers, stood up embedded analytics applications, and knows what it takes to deliver production-grade analytics at scale. You will lead a team of analytics engineers who work across the full data lifecycle: from raw data ingestion and warehouse architecture to semantic modeling, self-service reporting, and bespoke client-facing data products.

The right candidate has a demonstrable track record of delivering both internal and externally facing analytics products, understands the engineering rigor required to operate a multi-tenant analytics platform, and can recruit, mentor, and elevate a high-caliber team while continuing to provide deep technical guidance.

• Own the architecture of embedded analytics applications that integrate directly into our product experiences, providing clients with self-service access to trav
