The MX Office of Innovation is responsible for building world-class financial tools that leverage our unrivaled data assets. As consumers and institutions interact with these tools, new insights and information are created that can be transformed into even better products. Within the Office of Innovation, the Data Science and Analytics (DSA) department is hiring a Manager, Data Analytics to lead a team responsible for analyzing end-user/operational data, preparing data for advanced analytics treatment, and a range of data quality and enhancement activities. As a leader within the core analytics function, you’ll influence MX’s product roadmap using your business acumen, decision quality, and knack for thinking about future possibilities. Moreover, your staff will support data science modeling work and be responsible for describing how people use our products. You’ll develop data-driven insights that improve decision-making, investments, and execution within our product suite, and work cross-functionally with colleagues from the product, research, design, and engineering teams. Like all members of the DSA team, you’ll also work closely with data engineering and business technology to burnish and defend the integrity of our data culture. The ability to inspire, develop, and manage staff is essential, as are solid project management skills and a talent for transforming data and analytic results into digestible and engaging stories.
