Associate Director for Data Analytics and Insights
- Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines
- Full-time
- POSTED 5 MONTHS AGO
About the job
Angkas is the Philippines' leading motorcycle ride-hailing platform. We move millions of Filipinos through traffic every day while building real livelihoods for our driver partners.
We're hiring a Head of Analytics to own the data function end-to-end. You'll lead a team, get your hands dirty with the data, and work directly with leadership to shape how we think about our business - not just report on it.
JOB DETAILS:
You'll be responsible for the analytics roadmap and making sure the team is working on what actually matters. That means driver incentive programs, supply-demand dynamics, pricing, retention, unit economics, and others. You'll build the team's skillset, set up the right processes, and make sure we're tracking the metrics that actually matter.
On a daily basis, expect a mix of strategic work (presenting to executives, aligning with product, operations and finance) and technical work (reviewing analyses, debugging logic, writing your own queries when needed). It's a lean setup-expect to work closely with people across levels.
You'll also own data governance-working with engineering on pipeline reliability, pushing for better documentation, and establishing data lineage so people actually trust the numbers.
Requirements
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
→ 10+ years in analytics or data science, with at least 5 years leading a team
→ Strong SQL and Python skills-you can still do the work, not just manage it
→ Solid stats foundation: experimentation, causal inference, hypothesis testing
→ Experience with BI tools (Looker preferably, Superset, Tableau)
→ Strong presentation skills - ability to explain complex findings, clear, confident, no jargon, no death by slides
NICE TO HAVE:
→ Master's degree in a data-related field (Data Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Operations Research, or similar)
→ Experience in ride-hailing, logistics, or any two-sided marketplace
→ Track record rolling out org-wide AI tools (Claude, Gemini, Copilot) and handling the change management that comes with it
→ Background in data lineage or metadata management
