Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.
Relay is entering an exciting new chapter of growth! We are looking to build a world-class data team and are looking for a passionate and people-first data leader who is eager to make an impact as our Director of Data & Insights. Reporting directly to our Head of Engineering, you will have the opportunity to help build teams and scale systems that drive meaningful insights throughout the company. You'll make high-impact decisions daily and have a dedicated interest to elevate data to be an internal product within Relay. *Please note that we are a hybrid environment and choose to collaborate in the office twice a week.
