Location<\/strong><\/td>\n| London<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Deliveroo is hiring an Analytics Engineering Director to join its London-based analytics organisation. The role sits within a large, globally distributed data function that supports decision-making across product, commercial, operations, and platform teams. The organisation works on problems at significant scale, with a data platform that processes hundreds of terabytes each day and supports everything from self-serve analysis and experimentation to executive reporting and long-range planning.<\/p>\n The analytics group is described as a core part of the wider data function, working alongside data science to improve both human and machine decision-making. Analytics engineers are embedded in product and business domains so they can work with strong context and ownership, while still following shared design principles and common ways of working. This role leads the analytics engineering side of that organisation and is responsible for shaping how data is modelled, governed, and made available for the rest of the business.<\/p>\n What you will do<\/h3>\n\n- Set the global direction for analytics engineering and build the roadmap that will guide the function over the long term, including how the data strategy should evolve to support AI-first use cases.<\/li>\n
- Lead a high-performing international team, creating a culture that values technical excellence, strong delivery, and continuous development.<\/li>\n
- Work closely with senior leaders across product, engineering, and business functions to make sure analytics is embedded in important decisions throughout the company.<\/li>\n
- Drive the \u00e2\u0080\u009cdata as a product\u00e2\u0080\u009d approach by owning the development of data models and the semantic layer so internal teams can self-serve from reliable, well-designed data products.<\/li>\n
- Set and enforce strong governance standards, including rules for modelling, semantics, testing, and auditability, so that data products are trusted and dependable.<\/li>\n
- Remain technically involved in the work, including reviewing SQL and data models, contributing to architecture decisions, and helping resolve urgent incidents when needed.<\/li>\n
- Support the broader analytics mission of enabling high-quality decision-making across the company by improving the foundations that power analysis, reporting, and experimentation.<\/li>\n
- Help ensure analytics engineering continues to operate effectively at scale across a complex environment with many teams, many use cases, and a large, high-volume data platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What you need to bring<\/h3>\n\n- Substantial experience leading large analytics or data engineering organisations that operate across multiple regions and within complex, fast-moving businesses.<\/li>\n
- Demonstrated ability to create and deliver long-term technical strategy across BI, data modelling, reporting, and the overlap between analytics and AI.<\/li>\n
- Strong technical credibility, including advanced SQL skills and practical experience with modern data architectures and technologies.<\/li>\n
- Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to influence at executive level and work through ambiguity.<\/li>\n
- A metrics-led mindset that focuses on turning technical execution into measurable business outcomes.<\/li>\n
- A bias toward action, with the ability to move quickly, deliver value, and improve based on feedback.<\/li>\n
- Experience building internal BI platforms or self-service data environments for non-technical users would be an advantage.<\/li>\n
- Familiarity with AI-oriented analytics methods, such as AI-assisted querying or using large language models to improve productivity, would also be beneficial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why Deliveroo says this role is attractive<\/h3>\nDeliveroo says the work is meaningful because it tackles real-world problems in a constantly changing marketplace. The company describes itself as a place for food lovers, problem solvers, and community-minded people who want to make things better. The environment is presented as one where people can move quickly, test ideas, and see the results of their work without a heavy hierarchy.<\/p>\n \n- You will work on a complex, always-on marketplace that affects millions of people every day.<\/li>\n
- You can ship, test, and improve ideas quickly in a high-ownership environment.<\/li>\n
- You will be trusted with large, ambiguous problems and supported as you grow.<\/li>\n
- The culture is described as one for builders, with high standards, collaboration, flexible working, and continuous learning.<\/li>\n
- You will receive competitive pay and equity, so you share in the value you help create.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Team and company context<\/h3>\nDeliveroo notes that it is now part of DoorDash, which expands the reach and scale of the wider organisation. Depending on the role, collaboration may involve colleagues, systems, and leaders across Deliveroo, DoorDash, and Wolt. The company presents this as a single global team working together to unlock new opportunities.<\/p>\n The analytics organisation itself is sizeable, with more than 100 analytics engineers across the UK, Europe, India, and the US. The function is embedded across the business and is expected to help improve data literacy as well as decision quality. This role is therefore both a leadership position and a hands-on technical leadership role within a large, distributed data environment.<\/p>\n Benefits and rewards<\/h3>\n\n- Competitive compensation, with equity options included.<\/li>\n
