OurRitual is a fast-growing digital platform combining expert-led therapy sessions with AI-powered support to create a blended clinical experience. The company has achieved product-market fit with strong growth and exceptional engagement, and is pre-Series A.
As Data Lead, you will own the data function across the company and lead the transformation from traditional BI into AI-driven BI powered by agents that surface insights in real time. You'll work closely with one data engineer today, with the opportunity to grow the team as scope expands.
Key Responsibilities:
Data Strategy & Ownership: Own the vision and roadmap for the data function, including the shift from classic BI to agent-based, AI-driven BI. Set priorities in partnership with senior leadership and manage the data engineer team.
AI-Driven BI & Agents: Drive adoption of AI across data workflows, from automating analyses to agents answering business questions in real time. Own the semantic and metrics layer to ensure consistent definitions across dashboards and agents. Build git-based workflows where dashboards and queries live in version control and are edited through PRs. Expose data to agents over MCP (Model Context Protocol) so business questions get answered without waiting for dashboards. Define where AI accelerates work and where human judgment must remain.
Infrastructure & Analytics: Own the data infrastructure including BigQuery, dbt, pipelines, and data reliability. Lead complex analytics work, A/B testing, and impact measurement hands-on. Define evaluation and quality metrics for AI features and agents.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with product, marketing, finance, operations, and engineering to define analytical needs and deliver solutions. Represent the data function at a senior level with strong storytelling and communication.
Requirements:
- 7+ years of experience in data roles spanning both analytics and infrastructure
- Strong analytical foundation with understanding of rigorous analysis and ability to build trustworthy AI-driven analytics systems
- Hands-on experience integrating AI into data workflows; must have shipped an agent or AI analysis flow that people actually use
- Strong SQL skills and experience building scalable data infrastructure
- Track record of owning data projects independently with cross-business stakeholders
- Solid grounding in experimentation and statistical methods
- Excellent communication and presentation skills at leadership level
- Comfortable being the most senior (and often only) data voice in the room
Nice-to-Have: dbt experience, Amplitude experience, BigQuery experience, git-based BI workflows or tools like Modus, B2C environment experience.
