As the leading strategic intelligence company, Strider empowers organizations to secure and advance their technology and innovation.

Job Description 

Strider is seeking a Manager for Custom Analytics to lead a team that delivers high-impact, bespoke data science solutions to our clients. This is not a traditional analytics team—your group sits at the forefront of Strider’s capabilities, frequently solving problems the company hasn’t tackled before. Whether it’s a one-day executive briefing or a multi-quarter engagement with recurring data feeds, you’ll be responsible for ensuring that Strider’s clients receive fast, focused, and defensible data intelligence—when they need it most. 

You’ll lead a team of data scientists through ambiguity and urgency, while developing the processes, standards, and rhythms that elevate how the team operates. Your north star is impact and repeatability: what starts as a bespoke custom solution often becomes incubatees into a scalable, high-impact product. 

What You Will Do 

• Lead a team delivering custom data products and reports, ranging from quick-turn analyses to long-term client deliverables with recurring updates. 

• Serve as the primary bridge between clients and technical delivery, ensuring work is scoped well, executed quickly and at the highest quality, and communicates meaningful insights. 

• Shape new analytical offerings that often precede product development—turning client demand into prototypes that become part of Strider’s future roadmap. 

• Build structure in a dynamic environment—introducing process, rigor, and standards while maintaining the flexibility needed to meet real-world timelines. 

• Drive accountability through clear metrics and outcomes, and communicate team value consistently to clients and internal stakeholders. 

• Develop talent, mentor ICs, and raise the bar on how the team operates, not just what they deliver. 

What You Will Need to Be Successful 

• 5+ years of data science or analytics experience, including 2+ years leading or managing teams 

• Experience delivering client-facing analytical work, ideally in consulting, intelligence, or mission-critical enterprise settings 

• Strong command of Python, SQL, and data visualization tools; comfort navigating unstructured data and problem spaces 

• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills—able to translate between technical teams and senior decision-makers 

• A track record of delivering under pressure with tight timelines and evolving requirements 

• Passion for building teams and systems, not just shipping deliverables 

• Relentless curiosity, a consumer-centric vision for innovation, and an uncompromising drive for excellence 

Why Join This Team 

• You’ll lead one of Strider’s most cross-functional and highly leveraged teams, working at the intersection of client needs, internal capabilities, and new product development. 

• You'll get to define what great looks like for a fast-moving team delivering real-world, cutting-edge data intelligence. 

• You'll work alongside leadership, engineering, and intelligence teams daily—shaping not only client outcomes but Strider’s roadmap. 

Benefits 

• Competitive Compensation 

• Company Equity Options 

• Flexible PTO 

• Wellness Reimbursement 

• US Holidays (Office Closed) 

• Paid Parental Leave 

• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance 

• 401(k) Plan
