## Job description

## Role

[Acquisition.com](http://Acquisition.com) helps businesses scale. We hold data from thousands of client businesses, including company profiles, purchases, product usage, and live connections to bank, CRM, and advertising accounts. Our founders have said the company must be data-first before it can be AI-first. This role makes that true. We are hiring our first Director of Data, the first leader solely accountable for the data function. Three Senior Data Engineers and a half-time analyst run the warehouse, single-client-record pipelines, and reporting used by Finance and Leadership, supporting two client-facing products in daily use. What is missing is one owner for accurate numbers, one reliable client record, AI-ready data, and one data program. The mandate is to make data reliable and usable by people, products, and AI systems. You own the data platform, single client record, governed business metrics, and data used to train, evaluate, and ground AI systems. You lead the team and data quality program while remaining hands-on enough to write SQL, inspect models, and diagnose failures. You report to the CTO; Platform owns infrastructure and application engineering; AI Engineering owns model architecture and runtime; and you own the data those systems train on, evaluate against, and retrieve from. The existing team reports to you on day one, and you set the standards every data-producing team must meet.

## Responsibilities

- Own the data platform end to end, including the warehouse, ingestion, transformation, semantic layer, orchestration, observability, vendors, and cost.
- Build the governed data systems behind production ML and LLM products, including versioned training, evaluation, feature, and retrieval datasets, embeddings and vector indexes, and controls for labeling, lineage, leakage, drift, and retrieval quality.
- Establish one authoritative client record across source systems with identity resolution, field-level provenance, and enforceable data contracts.
- Create the governed metrics layer and data quality program that Leadership and Finance use, including one definition per metric, published freshness standards, automated reconciliation, and named ownership by domain.
- Enforce privacy and access controls in the data layer with Security and Legal, including retention, deletion, cataloging, lineage, and boundaries between operating companies and partners.
- Lead the data team as one program through a published roadmap, clear operating cadence, documented on-call, talent development, and hands-on technical leadership when the work requires it.

## Requirements

- 8+ years of data engineering, analytics engineering, or data platform experience, including leading a data function and directly managing senior engineers; experience as a company's first or primary data leader is preferred.
- Hands-on experience building or rebuilding a modern cloud data stack, with advanced SQL skills and practical experience with warehouse architecture, data modeling, transformation, orchestration, and observability.
- Experience owning data systems used by production ML or LLM products, including versioned training, evaluation, and retrieval datasets, embeddings and vector search, labeling, leakage prevention, drift monitoring, and retrieval-quality evaluation. Must be able to explain how data quality decisions affected model performance in production.
- Experience building a customer master or identity resolution model across multiple source systems, including matching logic, survivorship rules, and field-level provenance.
- Experience delivering governed business metrics used by executives and Finance, including automated reconciliation, published data-quality standards, clear remediation ownership, and the ability to explain data tradeoffs in plain language.
- Experience implementing data governance and privacy controls, including retention, deletion, lineage, role-based access, and working knowledge of CCPA and CPRA; financial transaction or multi-entity data experience is preferred.

Results

- Within 60 days, publish one data roadmap, review it monthly with the CTO and quarterly with the founders, and assign an owner to every data initiative.
- AI assistants answer the top 20 leadership metric questions; every AI product has a team-owned evaluation set; and no model ships without testing it with AI Engineering.
- The client record covers every active client, core fields are at least 95% complete, connected-source data uses the same model, and every material field has provenance.
- Every executive KPI and Finance statement uses governed metrics; reconciliation runs weekly; unmatched payment volume falls below 1% from $9.8 million; and critical failures are detected within one hour and resolved within one business day.
- Retention and deletion are automated, deletion requests complete within 45 days with an audit record, and warehouse access is reviewed quarterly.
- Every data engineer has a level, growth plan, and on-call; no critical pipeline depends on one person; and platform spend and unit cost are reported monthly.

Schedule

- Full-time, standard Pacific Time business hours, Monday through Friday.
- Flexibility to support security incidents and critical business needs.

Location

- Remote, USA.
- Some travel to Las Vegas will be required.

Compensation:

- $250,000-$275,000 base salary + 15% performance bonus max.
- The salary range may be inclusive of several levels that would be applicable to the position. Final salary will be based on a number of factors including, level, relevant prior experience, skills, and expertise. This range is only inclusive of base salary, not benefits (more details below).

ACQ Core Values: Our core values are the heart and soul of this incredible company.
