Tomo Mortgage is seeking a Head of Data to own the data function end-to-end at a venture-backed digital mortgage company. You'll inherit a mature data platform and a small, high-leverage team, with a mandate to build it out and scale. This is a player-coach role where you'll be hands-on—designing experiments, building data models, and partnering directly with business stakeholders across Marketing, Finance, Sales, Capital Markets, Mortgage Ops, Compliance, Product, and Engineering—while simultaneously building and developing your team.
Key responsibilities include: owning data strategy, roadmap, and platform health; hiring and developing talent across data science, analytics/BI, and data engineering; driving marketing measurement and experimentation to quantify spend effectiveness and build attribution models; leading by example through hands-on SQL, dbt, and notebook work to set technical standards; ensuring pipelines and infrastructure remain reliable and cost-efficient; partnering with Product and Engineering on data instrumentation and quality; and serving as a trusted strategic partner to the leadership team on data narratives and prioritization.
You must be AI-fluent with strong data science and experimentation foundations (statistics, experimental design). You need proficiency in SQL and the modern data stack, with range across data science, analytics/BI, and data engineering. Strong business and stakeholder fluency is essential—translating ambiguous questions into actionable data work and communicating results to non-technical leaders. You should have a zero-to-one track record: early data hire experience, building an analytics function from scratch, or a senior IC ready to step into your first leadership role. Hands-on marketing analytics and paid-media measurement experience is required. Mortgage, fintech, or proptech experience and familiarity with Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, and Fivetran are nice-to-haves.
Tomo is backed by top-tier venture investors including Ribbit, Citi Ventures, NFX, and Progressive Insurance. The company is on a mission to eliminate greed and complexity in lending through AI-driven customer experience, helping homebuyers save thousands of dollars.
