About The Role: YipitData's Central Data team sits at the foundation of everything we deliver. We build the standardized data products, methodologies, and systems that power every downstream business — from our investment research and corporate products to our data feeds. Historically, many teams solved similar data problems independently. Central Data exists to identify those common patterns and build shared solutions that improve quality, consistency, and speed across the company. As a Central Data Lead, you'll own one of these foundational data domains end-to-end. This is a highly analytical product ownership role that combines deep data expertise, systems thinking, technical leadership, and cross-functional execution. Rather than solving one-off analytical problems, you'll design the reusable systems and methodologies that enable dozens of downstream teams to move faster with greater confidence. Each domain is jointly led by a three-person leadership team: Central Data Lead — owns methodology, data quality, and analytical strategy Technical Product Manager — owns prioritization, roadmap, and business alignment Data Engineering Manager — owns engineering execution, platform architecture, and technical delivery Together, you'll define how your domain evolves while partnering closely with data evaluation, engineering, downstream product teams, and external data partners. We're hiring two Central Data Leads: Consumer Receipts - own the systems that process, classify, and validate transaction-level consumer receipt data across millions of purchases. B2B Spend - own the systems that transform complex mid-market and enterprise purchase and invoice data from multiple providers into standardized, production-ready datasets. Your success won't be measured by how many analyses you complete. It will be measured by how effectively you've built systems that make hundreds of future analyses faster, more consistent, and more reliable. This is a remote-friendly opportunity that can sit in NYC (where our headquarters is located), one of our office hubs, or anywhere else in the US. However, depending upon where the remote work is…
