Analytical Engineering Manager

Asana's Data Science & Analytics team turns data into decisions. As an Analytical Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of Analytical Engineers who own the data foundations for the business: the Gold layer, canonical metrics, certified dashboards, and semantic layer. You will sit at the intersection of Data Engineering, Analytics, and Data Science, accountable for whether business stakeholders trust the data in your team's domains and can answer their own questions without routing through your team.

• Lead, grow, and develop a team of Analytical Engineers, owning hiring, coaching, performance, and career growth.
• Own the Gold layer and semantic-layer strategy across your team's domains (e.g., PLG, marketing, revenue, NPI/AWM).
• Treat every recurring insight as a product with an owner, a cadence, and an SLA, building a catalog of trusted, versioned data products.
• Drive self-serve enablement by prioritizing Gold tables, governed metric definitions, and metadata that make Claude + Databricks Genie trustworthy.
• Partner with Data Science, Data Engineering, Data Infrastructure, and business teams to author data contracts and SLAs at the Silver→Gold boundary.
• Manage prioritization, run-rate, and cost as first-class metrics, making explicit build-vs-buy and stop-doing trade-offs.

• 3+ years managing or leading a team of analytics engineers, data engineers, or analysts.
• Strong analytical-engineering technical foundation: advanced SQL, data modeling and semantic layer design, dbt or equivalent transformation framework, and modern warehouse/lakehouse platforms (Databricks preferred).
• Track record of shipping trusted data products — governed Gold tables, canonical metrics, and semantic layers.
• Strong stakeholder management with senior cross-functional partners and leadership.
• Sound judgment on prioritization, sunsetting low-value work, and managing data cost and run-rate.
• Curiosity about AI-native analytics — NL2SQL, semantic layers for self-serve, and using tools like Claude and Genie.
• Exposure to Unity Catalog, Looker/LookML, or reverse-ETL/activation (Salesforce, Marketo, Gainsight) is a plus.
