Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Point is a company dedicated to making homeownership more valuable and accessible. As a Lead Data Analyst, you will drive high-stakes business questions to provide rigorous analyses and actionable recommendations while collaborating closely with product, marketing, and operations leaders.
Responsibilities
- Own the definition and integrity of core business metrics — bring an opinionated, well-reasoned point of view and drive alignment across stakeholders on a single source of truth
- Lead end-to-end deep-dive analyses on our highest-stakes questions — from framing the problem, through causal and statistical rigor, to a written recommendation the business can act on, including retrospective reads on whether past bets paid off
- Design and interpret experiments and causal analyses — separate correlation from causation, and quantify the tradeoffs and elasticities leaders need to prioritize with confidence
- Serve as an embedded analytical partner to senior product, marketing, and operations leaders — understand their goals, anticipate the questions, and proactively surface insights rather than just fielding requests
- Translate business logic into documented metric definitions and the semantic layer that powers self-serve analytics and AI-driven data access
- Set the analytical standard for the team — model rigorous, reproducible work and raise the bar through mentorship and example
Skills
- 8+ years in analytics, data science, or a quantitative decision-science role, with a track record of analyses that changed business decisions — not just dashboards
- Deep SQL expertise and warehouse fluency (Snowflake and dbt a plus); comfortable navigating messy, imperfect data and reasoning rigorously about its reliability
- Strong statistical foundation — causal inference, experimentation, regression — and the judgment to know which method fits the question
- Exceptional at framing ambiguous problems and communicating findings crisply to senior, non-technical stakeholders; you form a point of view and defend it with evidence
- A track record of influencing decisions without formal authority, and a natural standard-setter who elevates the people around you
- Experience in fintech, lending, mortgage, or real estate
- Hands-on experience with AI-assisted analytics (LLMs, semantic layers, self-serve tooling)
Benefits
- Generous health benefits: We provide comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans with options for flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA).

In addition, employees also receive 4 weeks of fully paid transition time, during which you may work 2–3 days per week while receiving full base pay.
- Equity: We offer meaningful equity because we believe in sharing the value you help create. Your contributions directly impact our growth, and your equity gives you a stake in our future success.
- Financial wellness: We provide 401K retirement plans for employees as well as guaranteed life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage.
