Fundraise Up is a financial technology company that provides online fundraising software to enterprise nonprofits. Backed by Summit Partners.
About the role
As our Head of Data, you'll build and guarantee the data foundation the whole company builds on: the pipelines, the models, the definitions, and the contracts that let people and AI agents trust what they're looking at. You'll report to our CFO, which keeps you neutral to any single function and close to how the business actually runs and measures itself. This is a player-coach seat. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You've personally built and run production pipelines/ELT into a cloud data warehouse. You have strong SQL and Python, orchestration, and warehouse modeling skills, and you still want to be hands-on
- You've built a trusted, self-serve data layer that people actually relied on: tests, observability, lineage, a metrics or semantic layer, and documentation good enough that questions stopped routing back to you
- You've defined the contract between a data platform and the systems that consume it programmatically (schemas, semantics, guarantees, scoped access), and you held engineering partners to it
- You've shipped AI/ML to production, not just prototypes, and you can tell which ideas are worth building
- You've been the dependable data provider for analytics and ML teams, and you've reconciled revenue, finance, and GTM data so leadership worked from one set of numbers
- You've built or scaled a data capability from a small base as its founding technical leader
