Demand for Data Leadership roles
New Data Leadership postings at the employers we follow are up 7% over the last 5 weeks compared with the 5 before.
Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 5 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.

Job description
9002 - Carmax Auto Finance - 225 Chastain Meadows Ct NW, Kennesaw, Georgia, 30144
CarMax, the way your career should be!
Director, Credit Risk & Analytics
About this job
As the captive lender behind the nation's largest used-car retailer, CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) is the leader in making car financing simpler, fairer, and more transparent – empowering customers across the credit spectrum to unlock affordability and drive away in the dream vehicle.
The Director of Credit Risk & Analytics owns the analytical engine behind that business. This is a builder's seat as much as an operator's. CAF is investing in our decisioning platform, our data infrastructure, and our use of alternative data — and we're looking for a leader who can both run the function with discipline and reshape it for what comes next.
You will spend your time
- Setting originations strategy across credit policy, consumer pricing, fraud, and decisioning — balancing growth, risk-adjusted return, and customer experience
- Evolving originations capabilities to further expansion into full-spectrum lending, through technology, alternative-data, and analytics.
- Owning P&L responsibilities by developing forecast models and successfully steering the business to navigate a highly dynamic environment
- Building and leading a world-class analytical team — hiring exceptional talent, developing manager-level leaders, and creating an environment where analysts do their best work
- Influencing executive decision-making with data-grounded recommendations, and serving as a thought partner to CAF and CarMax senior leadership
What you will need to succeed
We're looking for a player-coach who builds and develops talent, holds a high bar on analytical rigor, and brings genuine curiosity about how new data, new techniques, and new business models can change what's possible in auto lending. Given the breadth of the role, this leader will need to earn trust quickly with executives, cross-functional partners, and other key stakeholders.
To be eligible
- Bachelor's degree in mathematics, statistics, finance, economics, a related field, or equivalent experience; Master's degree preferred
- 8–10 years of proven credit policy and/or credit risk management experience (or equivalent) across multiple functional areas or products, including experience managing analysts and managerial staff; strong knowledge of financial services preferred
- Strong conceptual thinking skill to design and manipulate complex mathematical models to explain and predict business metrics, and to analyze complex data to draw conclusions and make business recommendations
- Ability to convert vague business objectives into concrete analysis tasks and lead a team to tackle them systematically
- Ability to inspire and lead analytical teams to effectively design and execute strategies that meet business goals and objectives
Bonus points for
- Advanced degree in a quantitative discipline (engineering, math, statistics, operations research, economics, physics, etc.)
- Prior leadership experience in auto finance, consumer lending, and/or fintech
- Hands-on familiarity with machine learning and alternative data in a lending context
- Working proficiency in SQL, Python or R, and modern data / BI tooling (Snowflake, Tableau, etc.)
