Head of Data Analytics (Business Intelligence)

The Company:

Axle keeps the supply chain moving by providing a modern payments platform for the logistics industry. Hundreds of freight brokers trust Axle to manage their working capital, payments, and back office processes.

Axle is backed by some of the top freight- and fintech investors in the world, including Crosslink Capital, Anthemis, Techstars, Trucks VC, Flexport, and FJ Labs. We’re processing $20M+ in payments each month and growing 4.5x year over year.

The Opportunity:

The success of Axle is dependent on our ability to make decisions on accurate, timely, and available data.  As the Head of Data Analytics, you are responsible for making sure we have data pipelines in place, well-defined data models, and the analytics capabilities to drive business decisions.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with the leadership team to set the data strategy, build the team from scratch, and make Axle the most data driven company in the freight finance industry. 

What Excites You: 

  • You love tackling data problems, whether it’s big, sparse, disjointed, or messy, because in those problems you see the opportunity to help make high impact decisions. 
  • You love adopting the latest data technologies, tools, and analytics methodologies because you’re always looking for ways to get insights faster. 
  • You hate not understanding the “whys” so you’ll keep digging until you uncover why something is the way it is.
  • You are fascinated by the intersection of logistics, financial services, and technology. You believe that there is a massive impact you can make in the world at this intersection.  
  • You love working with supportive and collaborative teams across engineering, finance, sales, marketing, operations, and product to give others the superpower to make better decisions.

What We Are Looking For:

  • 4+  years of experience working in high-growth data driven environments in data engineering, data science, data analytics, or business intelligence.
  • Has a wide breadth of skills and experience to be able to build out the data function from the ground up.
  • Has experience hiring and managing a small team but is still energized by getting into the technical side and building data pipelines, writing code, and creating visualizations.
  • Opinionated about the tools and data stack you want to use. You know why you would adopt Python or R, Snowflake or Redshift, Tableau or Looker, etc...

Benefits and Perks:

  • Fully remote work by design
  • Quarterly in-person retreats
  • Unlimited paid time off
  • Medical, dental, & vision
  • Mental and physical wellness stipend
  • Generous option (equity) grant
  • Professional development reimbursements

We have unlimited PTO, and we mean it! We incentivize employees taking at least 3 day off each quarter, and require each employee to take a minimum of 5 consecutive days off each year.


We see Axle as a constant work in progress, and the same is true of our people: for all of us, we believe the best is yet to come. We want to work in the company of warm, inclusive people who treat their colleagues exceptionally well. The kind of people who are committed to going out of their way to help others in the short-term and to push them to grow over the long-term.

At Axle, we don’t just accept our differences. We celebrate them. Axle is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and an equal opportunity employer.
