About Shotgun

We’re building Shotgun so event creators can meet and entertain their community. Shotgun enables them to reach more people, more easily, and better understand their community so they can focus on what matters: creating amazing experiences.

Shotgun’s app has become the go-to destination for people to discover events, organisers and keep up with beloved artists. By making it easy to find relevant events near you, purchase and resell tickets, sharing great experiences with friends becomes an every weekend experience.

Shotgun’s platform connects millions of fans to ten of thousands of creators and artists, we sold 10M+ tickets last year alone. Our vision is to help people have amazing experiences in the real world, where social lives are organized. And we believe this is just the beginning for Shotgun. 

🚀 Mission

Shotgun as a company is at a pivotal step of its growth. We’re transitioning from the start up to the scale up stage. We want this transition to be as smooth as possible. To do so, we need to scale our analytical power faster than we grow our head count and data volume.

We wish to anticipate the moment when the analytical power will become the silo for projects to advance and the business to run. Luckily so far we have managed to build simple yet powerful organisation and data infrastructure that leaves us with a lot of room to keep growing until things start to get ugly.

It is in this anticipated strong growth context that we are looking for a Data Analytics Lead to progressively take over some key responsibilities in the data team while reporting to the Head of data. In the long run the Data Analytics Lead will be responsible for scaling the analytics power of Shotgun, leveraging both technical aspects of the data platform, ensuring a high level of data literacy in the different teams as well as managing and hiring new analysts.

🔨What you will do

• Manage, hire, lead and mentor junior team members, fostering an environment of learning and growth.
• Develop advanced data models to support complex analytics, including attribution modelling for conversion/traffic KPIs, user behavior analysis and A/B testing.
• Implement best practices in data analysis, ensuring high data quality and literacy across the organization.
• Design, implement, and maintain simple, efficient and reliable data pipelines using a modern data stack: Airbyte, DBT, Snowflake.
• Collaborate with business teams to understand their objectives and translate these into actionable data modelling projects for you and your team to carry on.
• Ensure scalability and performance of our data analytics infrastructure to handle large-scale dataset from diverse sources ensuring cost efficiency and robustness.
• Implement and maintain data quality checks and monitoring systems for accuracy and consistency.
• Innovate and integrate new technologies and methodologies to enhance Shotgun analytical power.

• 🧠 You have a strong holistic mindset that you leverage to picture large and complex systems, breaking them down in smaller modular bricks you and your team can chew.
• 🕐 You have at least 5 years of hands-on experience in data engineering and/or analytics roles, with a proven track record of managing teams.

• 👪 Note to women : Shotgun as a company value gender and origin diversity not because it sells to applicants but most importantly because it is necessary to scale in a healthy manner and boost creativity. Problem is women tend to apply less often than men when they think they don’t match all job requirements. So if you think you’re not matching 100% of the requirements please apply !
