About the Company

Blue Sky Analytics is a Climate Tech startup that combines the power of AI & Satellite data to aid in the creation of a global environmental data stack. Our funders include Beenext and Rainmatter. Over the next 12 months, we aim to expand to 10 environmental data-sets spanning water, land, heat, and more!


We are looking for a Data Lead - someone who works at the intersection of data science, GIS, and engineering. We want a leader who not only understands environmental data but someone who can quickly assemble large scale datasets that are crucial to the well being of our planet. Come save the planet with us!


Your Role

Manage: As a leadership position, this requires long term strategic thinking. You will be in charge of daily operations of the data team. This would include running team standups, planning the execution of data generation and ensuring the algorithms are put in production. You will also be the person in charge to dumb down the data science for the rest of us who do not know what it means.

Love and Live Data: You will also be taking all the responsibility of ensuring that the data we generate is accurate, clean, and is ready to use for our clients. This would entail that you understand what the market needs, calculate feasibilities and build data pipelines. You should understand the algorithms that we use or need to use and take decisions on what would serve the needs of our clients well. We also want our Data Lead to be constantly probing for newer and optimized ways of generating datasets. It would help if they were abreast of all the latest developments in the data science and environmental worlds. The Data Lead also has to be able to work with our Platform team on integrating the data on our platform and API portal.

Collaboration: We use Clubhouse to track and manage our projects across our organization - this will require you to collaborate with the team and follow up with members on a regular basis. About 50% of the work, needs to be the pulse of the platform team. You'll collaborate closely with peers from other functions—Design, Product, Marketing, Sales, and Support to name a few—on our overall product roadmap, on product launches, and on ongoing operations. You will find yourself working with the product management team to define and execute the feature roadmap. You will be expected to work closely with the CTO, reporting on daily operations and development. We don't believe in a top-down hierarchical approach and are transparent with everyone. This means honest and mutual feedback and ability to adapt.

Teaching: Not exactly in the traditional sense. You'll recruit, coach, and develop engineers while ensuring that they are regularly receiving feedback and making rapid progress on personal and professional goals.

Humble and cool: Look we will be upfront with you about one thing - our team is fairly young and is always buzzing with work. In this fast-paced setting, we are looking for someone who can stay cool, is humble, and is willing to learn. You are adaptable, can skill up fast, and are fearless at trying new methods. After all, you're in the business of saving the planet!

continuous improvement.

 Work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales and Customer Success teams on solution development and product

roadmaps.

 Lead client workshops, technical discussions and solution presentations.

Analytics Lead – AI & Decision Intelligence | LinkedIn Job Description

 Prompt Engineering

 Responsible AI, model governance and regulatory considerations

 Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud

Important: You do not need to be an expert in all of the above. We are looking for deep expertise in at least one core

area of AI, Data Science, Machine Learning, ML Engineering, Generative AI, MLOps or Data Engineering, combined with

sufficient breadth to effectively lead experts in adjacent areas.

What We’re Looking For

 5–8 years of overall experience in AI, Data Science, Machine Learning, Analytics, Data Engineering or a related

 Experience leading complex technical projects involving multiple specialist disciplines.

 Strong client-facing, stakeholder management and project delivery skills.

 Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.

 Strong presentation skills and confidence engaging senior business stakeholders.

 Ability to balance technical considerations with business priorities and delivery objectives.

 Strong problem-solving, decision-making, organisational and managerial skills.

Preferred Experience

 Experience delivering AI or analytics solutions in Banking, Financial Services or Insurance.

 Exposure to use cases such as credit risk, fraud detection, customer acquisition, marketing analytics, collections,

deposits or pricing analytics.

 Experience working in an AI product, technology consulting or enterprise analytics environment.

 Exposure to Generative AI, LLM and Agentic AI programmes.

 Understanding of Responsible AI, explainability and regulatory considerations.

Education

 Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics or a

related discipline.

 MBA preferred, but not essential.

The Profile We’re Looking For

We are looking for a technical leader who can lead experts — not someone expected to be the expert in everything.

Technical Depth + People Leadership + Client Management + Delivery Ownership

If you have strong expertise in one area of AI/Data/ML, have successfully managed technical teams, and can

confidently engage with both technologists and business leaders, we would like to hear from you.
