About Hearth

Hearth is a Fintech company helping home improvement contractors grow and manage their business. Our SaaS platform provides over 14,000 contractors the financial tools they need to close more business, including financing solutions, invoicing, payment collections, insurance products, all in one, modern system designed specifically for the home improvement industry.

Backed by 8 VC, Founders Fund, and other prominent leaders in Silicon Valley, Hearth has raised over $50M and is one of the fastest growing companies in the home improvement space.

The Mission

To us, the home improvement contractor is a true embodiment of the American Dream – skilled craftspeople who choose to start their own business to build a better life for their families and their communities. 

While home improvement professionals power a $500 billion per year industry and protect the homes of millions of Americans, they are typically overlooked by Wall Street and Silicon Valley, and are one of the most underserved, undercapitalized, and written-off segments of entrepreneurs.

We built Hearth to tip the odds of success in their favor. Hearth is a seamless digital toolkit that helps home improvement pros win more projects, grow their sales, and save time running their business. In the last six years, we’ve built an industry-leading technology platform (Financing, Payments, Quotes, Contracts, and Banking), work with over 15,000 contractors, and have funded over $500 million in additional projects for home improvement pros. And, we are just getting started.

Hearth is entering a pivotal stage of growth, and we're looking for a Data Lead to define and drive the next chapter of our data strategy. This is a hands-on leadership role at the intersection of analytics, engineering, and product.

• Solid analytical foundation; you have a good understanding of product and business metrics, and knowledge of statistical methods.
• Comfortable working with complex, high-dimensional datasets, and designing scalable data models to support cross-functional needs.
• Hands-on experience with modern data tooling, including dbt, Looker, Mode, Tableau, Redshift, or similar platforms / tech-stacks.
• Strong communicator and cross-functional collaborator, able to translate technical findings into strategic recommendations for stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Finance.
• Experienced in—or eager to demonstrate—leadership through mentoring analysts, developing data talent, and elevating data literacy across the organization.
• Known for your bias toward action, attention to detail, and ability to operate independently in ambiguous or evolving environments.
