Demand for Data Leadership roles

New Data Leadership postings at the employers we follow are about the same over the last 6 weeks compared with the 6 before.

Weekly new Data Leadership postings at the same employers, from the week of August 17 to the week of November 2. The fewest in a week was 754, the most 1,166, and the latest week had 892.

Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 6 weeks.

Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.

About the role

We file this job under Data Leadership, by the work the posting describes.

Data leaders run data teams or design how a company's data fits together. Managers hire, set priorities and answer for whether the data work pays off; architects choose the systems and the shape of the data.

Expect years of hands-on data work, experience leading people or projects, and the ability to explain tradeoffs to executives.

Unlike a senior engineer or analyst, most of a data leader's week goes to people, planning and decisions rather than building.
