Job Description

Gathern, a leading Saudi Arabian marketplace for alternative accommodations, is seeking a strategic Analytics Manager to elevate its data capabilities. This role is instrumental in transforming analytics from a mere reporting function into a powerful engine for informed decision-making.

You will be responsible for establishing a unified source of truth for data, ensuring all teams rely on consistent, accurate information. By embedding analysts within business units, you will empower them to uncover critical opportunities, identify gaps, and implement solutions that directly impact company KPIs.

This position requires building and leading a high-caliber analytics team, developing robust operating rhythms, and ensuring the team functions autonomously. You will play a key role in the company's annual and quarterly planning cycles, owning the analytical aspects and developing driver-based models to simulate targets and validate functional goals.

Furthermore, you will oversee monthly and quarterly performance reports, providing clear explanations for variances and recommending actionable strategies. The role also involves setting data-backed priorities for each function, tracking the adoption of recommendations, and measuring their impact.

A critical aspect of this role is ensuring data integrity and consistency across the organization by enforcing certified metrics and dashboard hygiene, guaranteeing that leadership forums utilize only validated data.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and maintain a connected KPI tree, ensuring clear ownership and definitions for all metrics.
• Own the analytical side of annual and quarterly planning cycles, building simulation models.
• Produce monthly and quarterly performance reports, explaining drivers and recommending actions.
• Set data-backed focus areas for each function and track the impact of adopted recommendations.
• Enforce certified metrics and dashboard hygiene to establish a single source of truth.
• Hire, coach, and grow the analytics team, assigning business function partnerships.
• Manage demand intake and prioritization to ensure the team focuses on high-value work.

Qualifications

• 6-8+ years in analytics, with at least 2 years leading analysts.
• Experience in a consumer marketplace or two-sided platform (travel, rideshare, delivery, e-commerce) at scale-up stage.
• Proven experience owning a KPI framework, planning models, and executive-level performance reviews.
• Experience building or maturing an analytics function beyond basic reporting.
• Advanced SQL (BigQuery preferred) and BI tools (Metabase or similar).
• Strong skills in forecasting, scenario modeling, variance analysis, and experimentation.
• Excellent written and spoken English communication skills, suitable for executive-level presentations.
