## About the role

Own the single source of truth. Define and own Vapi's core metric set (ARR, NRR, churn, call volume, latency, reliability) and build the canonical data model every team pulls from. One definition of a billable call. One definition of an active customer. One number in the board deck.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years in data, analytics, or data engineering, including building or leading a data function at a high-growth technology company
- You have shipped and sustained a company-wide single source of truth: aligned conflicting definitions, won over resistant stakeholders, and kept trust in the numbers over time
- Deep fluency in the modern data stack: dbt, Databricks, Fivetran or PostHog, and a BI layer like Hex. Strong SQL is a baseline, Python comfort is a plus
- Bias to action. You ship a working dashboard before you build the perfect one, then iterate
- You have built pipelines that handle billions of event-driven rows and know where the failure modes hide
- You partner equally well with Finance, Product, Engineering, and GTM. You earn trust by listening, scoping precisely, and delivering on time
