Head of Data Intelligence

Job Description

Supabase is on a mission to build the world’s best open-source backend platform for developers. We are looking for a Head of Data Intelligence to lead our exponential growth into the next chapter.

This role is an unprecedented opportunity to have an immense impact. You will raise the data IQ of the entire organization, enabling teams to make data-informed decisions that improve the products we ship to developers every day. You'll inject data throughout all business processes—from strategic planning and prioritization to execution and measurement of success.

If you are excited to build a team of analysts, inject best practices across the organization, and drive the insights that shape our future, we’d love for you to join us.

The Stack

• Data Warehouse: BigQuery

• Transformation: dbt

• Analytics: Hex, PostHog

• Languages: SQL

What You’ll Do

• Build & Lead the Team: You will build, develop, and lead a high-performing team of analysts to deliver insights on user behavior, platform usage, and business success.

• Own the Data Strategy: As the owner of our end-to-end data strategy, you will help scale analytics at Supabase—uncovering and sharing critical insights that will shape our roadmap and the future of our company.

• Drive Cross-Functional Impact: Partner cross-functionally with leaders from Engineering, Growth, and Go-to-Market teams to scale our data infrastructure, develop analytical frameworks, and grow tools that enable data-driven decisions.

• Operationalize Metrics: Ensure every business area has health metrics to track, insights that inform strategy, and success dashboards that inform development.

• Champion Data Culture: Build a data-centric culture and act as an internal champion for analytics and data literacy throughout the organization.

• Solve Complex Problems: Turn loosely defined problems into practical analyses and actionable insights.

• Unlock Growth Opportunities: Identify opportunities to drive increased customer conversion, retention, engagement, and lifetime value through both data and a deep qualitative understanding of our customers.

• Ensure Data Integrity: Implement best-in-class analytical frameworks and testing structures across the entire organization to ensure that data insights are always accurate.

What You’ll Bring

• 8+ Years of Analytical Excellence: You have a deep history in highly analytical roles, ideally within SaaS, developer tools, or infrastructure companies.

• Proven Leadership: 3+ years of experience as a leader managing teams, with a strong track record of developing, motivating, and inspiring analytical talent.

• Bias for Action: You are a demonstrated self-starter and incredible prioritizer who moves fast, takes ownership of projects, and drives them to completion without much guidance.

• Strategic Problem Solving: You possess a high degree of experience translating broad, abstract questions into structured analysis and actionable solutions.

• Communication Superpowers: You have strong written and verbal communication skills and a demonstrated ability to distill complex analytical solutions into actionable insights for the broader team.

• Organizational Growth: Experience scaling a data-driven team by hiring exceptional talent and maturing a data organization—from data instrumentation to dashboarding, insight discovery, and experimentation.

• Technical Proficiency: Advanced proficiency in SQL, a strong understanding of data warehouse principles, and experience with BI tools (Hex, Tableau).

• Modern Stack Experience: Experience with best-in-class analytics tech stacks, including PostHog, Segment, BigQuery, dbt, and Hex.

Why Join Supabase?

• Remote-First Team: Work from anywhere, connect with colleagues around the globe, and enjoy a flexible, async-friendly environment.

• Developer-Centric Culture: We live and breathe open source. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to contribute to (and leverage) the open-source community for data solutions.

• Ownership & Impact: This isn’t a button-pushing gig. You’ll have full trust and autonomy to own projects from day one—and see real results from your work.

• Collaborative Atmosphere: We’re big on pairing up when it makes sense and dividing to conquer when needed. Either way, you’ll be surrounded by whip-smart folks eager to ship.

What We Offer

• Fully Remote

  We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.

• ESOP

  Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.

• Tech Allowance

  Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.

• Health Benefits

  Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.

• Annual Off-Sites

  Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year.

• Flexible Work

  We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.

• Professional Development

  Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.

About the Team

Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love.

• 180+ team members

• 40+ countries

• 15+ languages spoken

• $496M raised

• 430,000+ community members

• 30,000+ memes posted (and counting)

We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities.

Hiring Process

We keep things simple, async-friendly, and respectful of your time:

1. Apply – Our team will review your application.

2. Intro Call – A short video chat to get to know each other.

3. Interviews – Up to four calls with:

   • Founders

   • Future teammates

   • Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role)

4. Decision – We may follow up with a final question or go straight to offer.

All communication is remote and we aim to move fast.
