The Senior Client Data & Analytics Lead guides clients in developing data capabilities, coaching their teams, and translating needs for product delivery. This role combines data leadership with client interaction and strategic planning.
Help us use technology to make a big green dent in the universe!
Kraken powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy.
We’re a technology company focused on creating a smart, sustainable energy system. From optimising renewable generation, creating a more intelligent grid and enabling utilities to provide excellent customer experiences, our operating system for energy is transforming the industry around the world in a way that benefits everyone.
It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.
Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for an influential data and analytics leader who’s excited to work directly with clients — helping them build modern data capabilities, coach on data best practices, and help them get transformative from Kraken data.
You should bring experience leading a high-performing analytics or data team; a love of working with clients; and a passion for driving the clean energy transition. (Energy experience nice-to-have, but definitely not required.)
The role
You’ll work directly with Kraken clients to help them develop modern, transformative data and analytics capabilities as part of their broader Kraken transformation. You’ll:
- Guide them as they rebuild critical reporting & analytics on Kraken data.
- Coach client teams on “what good looks like” in analytics practices — including roles, tools, and processes.
- Occasionally get hands-on with sample SQL or BI to help unblock or demonstrate.
- Translate client needs into clear input for Kraken product and engineering.
You won’t be an implementation manager or a full-time analyst. This is a hybrid role: part coach, part practitioner, part translator — helping clients both adopt Kraken data smoothly and build lasting data capabilities to drive their transformation. Perfect for someone with strong data leadership chops who wants more client face-time and a high-impact role.
This is one of the early hires onto a new client-facing data team, giving you a chance to play a strategic role in establishing vision, practices, and playbook.
What you'll do:
- Guide clients in redefining critical reporting and analytics to use new Kraken data and concepts, through working sessions, trainings, and occasional SQL/BI examples.
- Coach client data teams on best practices and help them spot gaps in skills, roles, tools, or process.
- Help clients identify reporting & analytics outcomes they need Kraken to drive and partner with product to deliver these
- Train Kraken’s broader client delivery team on how to ask effective data questions and leverage data to drive business impact.
What you'll need:
- 8+ years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence or related field (e.g., analytics manager or director, data consultant, lead data analyst, analytics engineer)
- Familiarity with SQL and modern BI tools – enough to recognize and speak to what “good” looks like & construct examples
- Excellent communications, collaboration and presentation skills
- Strong grasp of modern data practices (team structure, tools, ways of working)
- Experience working in an agile, product-led context
- Excitement for a fast-paced, high-autonomy, fun environment
- Strong influencing skills and ability to challenge traditional ways of thinking
- Experience leading data teams
Culture fit:
- Passionate about leading, motivating and developing others
- Passionate about helping customers (without them, we don’t exist)
- Passionate about technology (we are a tech business disrupting energy)
- Committed to sustainability (we are all about speeding up the shift to a more sustainable world)
- Open minded, flexible and adaptable (we are constantly growing, changing and evolving)
- Confident in decision making
- Supportive
- Approachable
- Inclusive
- Resilient, working well under pressure
Why else you'll love it here:
- Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options including FSAs.
- Paid time off — we know working hard means also being able to recharge as needed, we trust our employees to get the work done and take the time they need.
- 401(k) plan with employer match.
- Parental leave. Biological, adoptive and foster parents are all eligible.
- Pre-tax commuter benefits.
- Flexible working environment: you need to shift around your schedule? You do you, we genuinely believe in work/life balance.
- Equity Options: every Octopus employee owns part of the business. We’re a team, working together towards huge goals. Every person is crucial to our success, you should be rewarded as such.
- Modern office or co-working spaces depending on location.
- The salary range for this senior level role in NYC ranges on average from $140,000-$200,000 depending on relevant experience, role alignment, and technical/client management expertise demonstrated throughout the interview process. While the broad salary range is listed, not all candidates will be placed at the top of the range—this will be determined by the overall fit for the position.
