Every week, over 200 private companies use Axial to passively explore or actively pursue a financial transaction for the next stage of their business. The Role Your mission will be to shape and lead a world-class data organization at Axial that helps the entire company make smarter decisions and which innovates new data products for the users of Axial’s online marketplace.

Currently, Axial uses data to understand the health of our online network, run predictive analytics, track key goals and benchmarks, and optimize our sales and marketing tactics. The data team builds and tests internal data tools to help Axial’s business units make informed decisions, operate more efficiently and become more self-sufficient around data.
