Associate Director Analytics

About Us

At Simplilearn, data has been central to how we operate it’s helped us grow steadily over the last 16 years. Our analytics team is a group of driven problem-solvers who use structured problem-solving along with statistical, machine learning and operations research techniques to build solutions the business can actually use.

The team also owns the KPIs and dashboards that stakeholders across the organisation rely on to track performance.

We’re looking for someone to own the analytics charter end-to-end – setting the roadmap and priorities for how analytics serves the business, partnering closely with stakeholders to solve problems, and building a team that can operate independently.

2. Design solutions and program-manage cross-functional projects and frameworks, alongside quick-turnaround requests

3. Spot data gaps early, flag the risk, and drive the fix with the right teams so projects don’t stall

4. Act as a thought partner to business teams – helping frame problems, not just deliver answers – and grow how analytics is used across the organisation

5. Manage and mentor a team of 6-8 analysts, building their data, business and technical skills so they can operate independently

6. Give regular 1:1 feedback and coaching, and keep pushing the team toward new approaches and self-development

2.7+ years in analytics (marketing or product analytics preferred) at a fast-paced organisation, including experience leading a team
