Head of Data, Analytics & Insight
At Tembo, we’re on a mission to make home happen — helping people buy their first home, remortgage, or move up the ladder, and helping thousands more save smarter towards homeownership.
We’re tackling one of the biggest challenges of our generation: helping people get on and move up the property ladder. Through innovative mortgage products, smart affordability schemes, and savings tools like our Lifetime ISA and HomeSaver, we help families who’ve been locked out of homeownership finally get the keys to their own place. Every day, our work directly changes lives — enabling people to buy their first home, reduce their costs, or build a brighter financial future. That sense of real-world impact is what drives everything we do, and why people love working here.
Now, we’re looking for our first Head of Data, Analytics & Insight — someone ready to turn a blank canvas into a high-performing data function that powers every part of our business.
We’re a mission centric organization that holds our values close:
* Find a way - representing our desire to innovate and also leave no stone unturned to help find a customer a way to get on the ladder
* It's all about the people - customers, colleagues, partners - we’re all human and without them we are nothing
* If you don’t like it change it - as a startup we’re constantly listening to every source of data and evolving, every opinion counts
We are rated 4.9* on Trustpilot with every single customer review celebrated: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/tembomoney.com
We are well funded by Goodwater Capital, Aviva, McPike Family Global Office, Ascension, Love Ventures as well as a suite of ethical backers such as Fair by Design, Barrow Cadbury, Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Big Society Capital.
The Opportunity
This is a foundational role. You’ll design and build Tembo’s entire data ecosystem — from pipelines and models to dashboards and insight — and use it to drive decisions across product, marketing, and finance.
You’ll be our in-house data strategist, systems builder, and internal consultant — turning complex data into clear stories that shape growth, product innovation, and profitability.
What You’ll Do
* Own Tembo’s data strategy end-to-end — infrastructure, governance, insight, and activation
* Design and build data pipelines and architecture (from Postgres, MS SQL, Customer.io, Mixpanel, etc.) into a unified warehouse/lake
* Quantify product success: partner with product managers to define metrics, measure experiments, and uncover user behaviour patterns
* Enable marketing activation: identify and segment audiences for CRM and campaign personalisation
* Work with finance to analyse and model the makeup, performance, and risk of our savings book
* Deliver insight that informs strategy across growth, product, operations, and leadership
* Lay the foundation for a scalable analytics function — and grow a small team over time
About you
* Proven experience building a data platform from scratch in a fast-growing tech or fintech environment
* Strong technical background in SQL, Python, and modern data tooling (e.g. dbt, Airflow, Snowflake, BigQuery, Looker/Tableau)
* Comfortable joining disparate data sources into a coherent schema and single source of truth
* Analytical depth — able to design experiments, measure impact, and translate numbers into narrative
* Commercial intuition and cross-functional influence — trusted by Product, Marketing, and Finance alike
* A bias for action and a love of building things that scale
