Director of Data Strategy & Insights

Artsy is seeking a Director of Data Strategy & Insights to lead our data vision and insights engine to help power our next phase of growth. As Director of Data Strategy & Insights, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of our marketplace. You’ll partner closely with product, revenue, and executive teams to ensure we’re building the right products, unlocking new growth opportunities, and making data-driven decisions that fuel the company’s next phase of scale.

This is both a highly strategic and hands-on role — ideal for a leader who can connect data to business impact, influence across teams, and elevate how insights guide decision-making at every level of the organization.

What You’ll Do At Artsy

• Drive Strategic Decision-Making: Partner with senior leadership to define, measure, and evaluate company and product strategy. Translate complex data into actionable insights that shape product direction, marketplace health, and revenue growth.
• Influence Product & Marketplace Strategy: Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering leaders to identify opportunities that improve liquidity, conversion, and customer retention. Use data to ensure we’re building the right products and experiences for both sides of the marketplace.
• Develop a Holistic Data Strategy: Lead the development of frameworks and models that inform key business levers — supply-demand dynamics, pricing, customer segmentation, lifetime value, and growth forecasting.
• Enable Company-Wide Insight: Build scalable processes, dashboards, and reporting systems that democratize access to insights across the company. Ensure teams can make faster, smarter, and more autonomous decisions.
• Partner Across Functions: Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Operations, and Finance to understand growth drivers, customer behavior, and operational efficiency, and to align data strategy with overall company objectives.
• Lead and evolve the Data Function: Mentor analysts and data scientists; raise the bar for analytical rigor, storytelling, and influence. Establish best practices for experimentation, measurement, and strategic analysis. Expand the impact on product development, especially around data-driven decision making.
