[Hiring] Data Product Lead @LI.FI

Role Description

We're looking for a Data Product Lead to own the direction and output of LI.FI's Data team. This is partially a hands-on role with a clear focus on analytics and product thinking. You'll spend a significant portion of your time on the data yourself:

• Deep-dive analyses
• Dashboards
• Business cases
• Sharing insights that shape decision-making across the company

The rest of your time goes to product thinking, prioritisation, stakeholder management, and leading the team. You'll report to our CTO and line manage the Data team, partnering closely with our Data Tech Lead who owns the technical and infrastructure side. Think of it as the PM-and-tech-lead model: you own the what and why, your tech lead partner owns the how. Together you set the roadmap and priorities for the team.

Please note: This role is remote within the EMEA region. Your application will not be considered otherwise.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in data analytics, analytics engineering, or data product work, with experience leading people or setting priorities for a small team
• Expert SQL: you can pull, validate, and challenge data independently, without relying on engineers
• Hands-on experience building dashboards and reports in BI tools (Omni, Superset, or similar)
• Strong business and product mindset: you use data to find revenue, pricing, or growth opportunities, not just to answer questions
• Enough technical depth to be a real partner to data engineers; comfortable discussing warehouse design, pipelines, data models, and trade-offs
• Proven stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to work across product, engineering, finance, BD, and C-suite
• Strong data storytelling: you adapt the message to technical and non-technical audiences
• Crypto/DeFi domain experience: ideally in a data role at a crypto company, or demonstrable deep understanding of the space (cross-chain, DEX aggregation, bridges, or wallets)
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift and you'll need to build some of the playbook as you go

Requirements

• Python (nice to have)
• dbt and dimensional modelling (nice to have)
• Semantic layer design and metric definition management (nice to have)
• AI-readiness: structuring data, metrics, and documentation so they can be reliably consumed by LLMs and agents (nice to have)
• ML modelling experience (forecasting, classification, anomaly detection) (nice to have)
• On-chain data and tooling (e.g. Dune Analytics) (nice to have)
• Exposure to streaming data (e.g. Kafka) (nice to have)

Benefits

• Annual company offsites — we've explored Thailand, Vietnam, Morocco, and Greece together. Next stop for 2027: TBD!
• 30 days of PTO
• Flexible remote days
• Flexible working hours
• Equity participation from day 1
• Entitlement to work computer (choice of equipment)
• An annual 1,000€ personal development budget once you have worked 6+ months (pro-rated the first year)
• A one-time 1,000€ remote budget to use on coworking, office setup, etc.

If you join us as an independent contractor, you’re only entitled to the first five benefits of this list.
