About the Company

Memorae is building a new category: an AI-powered memory layer that lives across communication tools (WhatsApp, email, calendars, files) and turns fragmented information into structured, actionable memory. This is a product-led, execution-heavy company with global ambition and strong technical DNA.

This role is designed for someone who wants to build , not maintain. Someone who thinks like a founder, not an employee.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Senior Data Manager to own and scale the entire data layer of the company. This is a hands-on, execution-first role for a senior profile with deep experience in data systems, analytics, and decision intelligence.

You will be responsible for turning raw product, user, and operational data into a reliable, scalable, decision-making engine for the company. Over time, you will build and lead the internal Data Team , owning both strategy and execution.

This is not a reporting role. This is a core infrastructure and leverage role .

• Design and maintain a robust data architecture that scales with product growth.
• Ensure data consistency, accuracy, reliability, and availability across teams.

2. Product & Business Intelligence

• Work directly with Product, Engineering, Growth, and Leadership.
• Define and track core product metrics (activation, retention, engagement, churn, LTV, CAC).
• Build dashboards and data views that drive real decisions, not vanity metrics.
• Translate ambiguous business questions into clear data models and insights.

3. Execution-Heavy Analytics

• Own the data stack (data warehouse, ETL/ELT, analytics tools).
• Optimize pipelines for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.
• Set best practices for data quality, versioning, and documentation.

• Strong hands-on experience with:
• SQL (expert level)
• Data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, or similar)
• Analytics and BI tools
• Data modeling and metric design
• Proven ability to work with product and engineering teams.
• Strong business intuition: you understand why the data matters, not just how it’s queried.
• Experience building systems from scratch or scaling early-stage data infrastructure.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and moving fast.

Leadership & Founder Mentality

This role requires:

• Ownership mindset: you act as if the data is your company .
• High autonomy and accountability.
• Ability to lead without hierarchy.
• Willingness to go beyond fixed hours when the business requires it.

• High ownership over one of the most critical functions in the company.
• Potential access to phantom shares tied to scalability, impact, and team creation.

Who This Role Is Not For
