Director of Data & Analytics

The New York Post provides readers with the best in News, Sports, Pop Culture, Fashion and Entertainment – with signature wit, irreverence and authority, averaging 90 million unique viewers a month. Over the past 223 years, The Post has evolved into a multi-platform media company spanning print, digital, video, audio, app, television and commerce.

We are seeking an experienced, highly hands‑on Director of Data & Analytics to join our Data Science & Analytics team. Reporting into our Vice President of Data Science & Analytics, this is a high‑impact leadership role responsible for turning data into actionable insights that shape how The New York Post operates, grows its audience, and drives commercial performance.

The ideal candidate is both a strategic leader and a hands‑on analytics expert; someone who can set direction and lead a team, but is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves, digging into data, building analyses, and delivering answers themselves. You will work closely with leaders and stakeholders across Editorial, Commercial, Product, Marketing, Affiliate/E‑Commerce, Data Engineering, and Product, helping teams understand what the data is telling us and, more importantly, what they should do with it.

This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast‑moving media environment where priorities evolve quickly, questions don't always come neatly defined, and the ability to deliver high‑quality insights on a tight timeline is critical. Working closely with our newsroom means being comfortable with urgency and quick turnaround while maintaining a high standard of analytical rigor.

The right person will be energized by the pace and variety of The New York Post, is someone who doesn't need every question defined for them, and is comfortable navigating ambiguity while seeing changing priorities as an opportunity to solve new problems. Most importantly, you should be passionate about using data not simply to report what happened, but to help people across the organization make smarter, faster, more informed decisions.

• Establish the strategy, priorities, and operating model for analytics across the organization, ensuring the team is focused on the highest‑impact business and editorial opportunities.
• Serve as a trusted data and analytics partner to senior stakeholders across Editorial and Commercial, translating business questions into clear analytical approaches and actionable recommendations.

• Act as a hands‑on analytics leader who can independently investigate complex questions, work directly with large datasets, build analyses, and deliver insights — not simply manage work from above.
• Develop and maintain automated reporting, dashboards, and data products that give stakeholders timely, reliable visibility into the metrics that matter most.
• Champion a data‑driven culture by helping stakeholders understand not only what is happening in the business, but why it is happening and what actions the data supports.
