📋 Description
• Define and own the Foundation’s data strategy—what we measure, why it matters, and how it informs decisions across the organization • Lead a team of analysts and analytics engineers, each owning a specific ecosystem vertical, and synthesize their work into a coherent cross-vertical perspective • Own relationships with the Foundation’s ecosystem data providers, ensuring coverage, quality, and methodological rigor • Work closely with client teams (like Anza, Firedancer, Jito, Temporal, etc.) on data-driven assessments of Solana protocol upgrades • Drive the data infrastructure roadmap and make decisions on tooling, gaps, and new partnerships • Represent the Foundation’s data perspective in executive conversations and external forums
🎯 Requirements
• 5+ years of experience in data, with at least 3 years leading a team or function • Deep familiarity with on-chain data—you understand what the metrics mean and where they break down • Fluency across DeFi, developer ecosystem, stablecoins, payments, and network economics metrics • Strong technical foundation in SQL and Python, with hands-on experience managing a big data platform using modern data warehousing tools (Databricks, Snowflake, ClickHouse, etc.) • Proven track record managing external data vendor relationships—not just consuming outputs • Strong communicator who can translate complex, multi-signal analysis for non-technical stakeholders.
