Director of Data

Description What's Guardio? Guardio is a cyber security startup, developing tools and products to combat modern web and browser threats. We provide protection against things like phishing, crypto and tech support scams, malicious extensions, browser hijacking, and much more. Guardio is still a relatively small company (we’re less than 50 people) but we’re growing fast, and we’re looking for core team members. We already have over a million registered customers and plenty of new features and products in the pipeline... Wait, another "cyber startup…”? Well yes, but maybe not what you’re thinking. Guardio offers security & privacy solutions directly to consumers - regular people, not big corporate companies. We don't operate in the shadows; we’re a product company. We create products you’d want your kids, your parents, and your grandparents to use. Our goal is to protect real people, from real cyber problems and actual crime. Guardio is a freemium product, meaning we have to offer real, tangible value to succeed. Let's cut to the chase. What's the job? We are looking for a Director of Data. You will: Lead, manage, and grow teams of data analysts, data scientists, and data engineers. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and implement data strategy, policies and processes.
