Analytics Engineering Manager, Data Platform & Governance

Job Overview

com About LawnStarter LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and outdoor services, with over $750M in annual bookings.

We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all home services, operating across three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, Home Gnome) on a single shared platform.

Job Description

The foundation is solid: a centralized Redshift data warehouse where all source data lands, modeled in dbt and orchestrated by Airflow, with Segment feeding event data in.

You won't be stitching scattered sources together, the platform exists; your job is to make it trustworthy and keep it that way. We're mid-migration to Lightdash as our single BI platform, replacing Tableau and Metabase.

Here's the honest gap: everyone on the team today is an analyst. Data quality, tracking standards, and platform hygiene get done as side work, squeezed between analyses. Nobody wakes up thinking about them, which is exactly the job we're hiring for.

The Role You'll be the first person at LawnStarter dedicated to data governance, the owner of whether our data can be trusted, and of the roadmap that makes it more trustworthy every quarter.

Trust means the quality and freshness of our source data, pipelines, and reports; the definitions behind our metrics; the standards behind our Segment event tracking; the health of our Lightdash workspace; the data feeding our machine learning models; and the security of the data itself.

The roadmap means sitting with product, marketing, ops, and finance to understand what the business needs from data, turning that into priorities for the platform, and sequencing the work, yours and, soon, your team's.
