[Hiring] Data Strategy & Insights Lead @Group 1001

Role Description

The hardest problem in data isn't producing insight — it's the last mile: the gap between an insight existing and the business acting on it. This is that person for Gainbridge, Group 1001's direct-to-consumer financial services business.

• Gainbridge runs on decisions — where to acquire customers, how to price products, when to act on risk.
• This role exists to make sure data moves those decisions, not just informs them.
• You bring the business fluency, the relationships, and the judgment to translate data and AI capability into outcomes.
• You hold the demand gate for the domain and have acceptance authority over what counts as done.
• You can stop work from starting, stop work from closing, and force a conversation when work isn't used.

How You'll Contribute

• The portfolio: Translate Gainbridge's strategy into a prioritized set of the problems most worth solving with data, analytics, and AI.
• The interpretation: Turn data and models into a narrative that changes a specific decision.
• The last mile: Drive insight into the actual workflow and the moment of decision.
• The AI agenda: Shape and qualify where AI capabilities get applied.
• The partnership: Co-own every use case with the data and engineering team.

How Success is Measured

• On outcomes, not output.
• Decisions changed — outcomes moved at Gainbridge; the measure is value realized, not artifacts shipped.
• The right problems — the domain's most important problems are the ones being worked, in priority order.
• Adoption — insight is embedded in real workflows and trusted by the people making decisions.
• Partnership health — use cases are co-owned and land; both sides have standing.

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of a direct-to-consumer financial services business — its growth model, customer funnel, and the decisions that move it.
• A track record of changed outcomes — roughly a decade leading data or insight work with measurable business impact.
• Analytical fluency — able to interrogate data and models critically and interpret them soundly.
• Communication and influence — turns analysis into decisions and earns the trust of senior stakeholders.
• Applied AI fluency — conversant in what AI can and can't do, and where it's worth applying.
• Partnership instinct — shares accountability and frames problems well.
• Judgment on what matters — tells a structural opportunity from a quick-win distraction.

Requirements

• Compensation ranges from $140,000/year in the lowest geographic market up to $180,000/year in the highest geographic market.
• Pay is based on factors such as market location, job-related skills, and experience.

Benefits

• Eligibility to enroll in Group 1001’s benefits package for employees working 30 hours or more weekly.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plan options.
• Basic and Supplemental Life Insurance, Short and Long-Term Disability.
• Immediate access to the Company’s Employee Assistance Program and wellness programs.
• Participation in the Company’s 401K plan, with matching contributions by the Company.
