We take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.

Position Description
Toptal is looking for a senior-level Director to lead our Marketing Analytics team. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role interacting directly with Toptal’s CEO, executive leadership, and other senior leaders across the Marketing organization.
Toptal is committed and investing heavily to expand our Business Analytics Center of Excellence. You would play a crucial role in that expansion by hiring, training, mentoring, engaging, and directing the Team Leads, Business Analysts, and Business Intelligence Analysts that support the Marketing function.
As the leader of the Marketing Analytics team, you would ultimately be responsible for providing senior business leaders with crucial insights and recommendations for improvement. You should be an exceptional leader that can build strong relationships, prioritize, and span the technical/business divide. Success in this role requires combining strong business acumen with analytics know-how to define metrics, measure performance, investigate behavior, diagnose root causes, develop dashboards/reports, conduct in-depth analysis, and present the story, insights, and recommendations at the executive level.
You should be both hands-on with the details and excited about seeing the big picture. Success in this role will ultimately be measured by business impact and the positive development of the Marketing Analytics team.
This is a remote position that can be done from anywhere. Due to the remote nature of this role, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.

• Work with Data Analysts, Business Analysts, Report Developers, Business Intelligence Analysts, Team Leads, and other leaders across the broader Analytics Center of Excellence to empower data-backed decision-making at all levels of the company.
• Interface with executive stakeholders to prioritize and present work and to meet expectations for timelines, accuracy, quality, and overall business impact.
