Data, the language of every digital service through which users scream their likes and desires. Every product, business and growth decision solely relies on the knowledge we extract from our data.

That’s why the ‘Data Science’, is one of the most critical and sucked upon teams of Fishbrain since our product development team relies on the knowledge extracted by them.

We are now looking for a data visionary to lead it. Yes! Fishbrain is looking for a Head of Business Performance to lead our data (science) team.

Who are we?

We are Fishbrain, the largest social platform for Fishing enthusiasts (or anglers as they’re called). The 7 letter word “fishing” has an interest group of more than a billion people around the globe and we are the only team who’s redesigning the way they connect, interact and socialize.

With more than 3 million users on our platform logging more than 2 million fishing catches so far, we’re one of the fastest growing tech startups of Sweden and one of the most influencing in the niche of “Fishing”.

What’s the challenge?

One of the interesting milestones of growth is when you realize the answer to every business and product critical question lies in your data. Questions like,

  1. How can we improve our weakest KPI when benchmarking with other similar companies, by X%?
  2. How can we increase our day 1 user retention from X to Y?

Data of 3 million users is a gold mine with more answers than the questions we have right now and we are looking for the ONE, who has both the expertise and the drive to unravel its mysteries.

Why is this interesting?

Think of these two journeys of the past!

Facebook that started off as a university student networking site AND LinkedIn that started off as a professional networking site. Two social networking platform that initiated for a specific niche of users growing globally to disrupt the way we network with people.

Now we are talking about a journey of that zeal by building the world’s biggest social networking platform for Fishing enthusiasts which is one of the largest hobbies in the world with more than 40 million just in the United States.

Also, We’re pulling off some of the coolest data tricks of this space like,

Given a geographical location, weather, date and time, would you like to know the probability of catching your fish?

Now that’s a simple question that triggers the interest of every fishing enthusiast and our data helped us release this successful premium feature last year and we know we have a lot of work to improve it even more with the geospatial data we are collecting right now!

Your Typical day? Nothing like that…

By starting to gain insights on what customer wants and what our business needs with your team, you’re the one who should lead your team’s days and what we should focus on, no day will be like the other ;)

Who are you?

  • The visionary thought leader and expert in data analytics and data science.
  • Excellent team leader who can inspire high calibre data analysts specialising in data mining and machine learning.
  • The champion to have us use big data in creating a world class product. Be the ultimate owner of customer data in the business.
  • You like using predictive modeling, statistics and trend analysis to collect, investigate and examine the right data from multiple and disparate sources.
  • You develop data programs to support product design, development, and optimisation.
  • The one who construct software systems and algorithms to explain and/or predict consumer behaviour and solve a variety of business challenges.
  • Like to perform analyses from a wide variety of data sources and contexts.

Above all, we’re confident that an ambitious, smart and influencing master of analytics would say, “When can I start?” just after a 5 minutes conversation with us. 

Ping us if you’re interested and let’s talk right away.

Fishbrain is a global social network and mobile app for Sport Fishing. And it’s true - Fishbrain can help you catch more and bigger fish. Through a combination of our Catch Map and Fishing Forecast, you can bring your fishing up another notch. Or two, even. But here’s what keeps people coming back to Fishbrain: It’s an angling community. And that gets at our mission. With 200 million people sport fishing around the world, we’re connecting anglers to make fishing dreams come true, today and tomorrow. Some of us are anglers. Some of us are parents. All of us are human. And we're also passionate about the outdoors and conservation. Together, we work to bring you the best app for fishing, hands down. There's a lot of thought and effort and fun that goes into that. Some of us work from Stockholm, Sweden. Some of us work from boats, casting lines and going to fishing tournaments. The office people and the boat people make sure to talk a lot. That's how we keep it real. We believe that it's more fun to brag about a catch with people who care about fishing. These people are often called anglers. You may think that's obvious, being an angler yourself. But on Fishbrain, your catch doesn't go head-to-head with cats doing backflips, or toddlers feeding chocolate cake to their baby sisters. For us, respecting the environment is about balance. We believe in catch & release and the sustainable harvest of fish species. Because when it comes to the outdoors, tomorrow matters too. Don't get us wrong - we're all for hard work, pre-dawn wakeups to get to a fishing spot, and getting our hands dirty. But if there's a smarter way to fish, we're on it. It means we do the hard work of crunching catch numbers so you don't have to. It means all you have to do is fish.  Our office is in Stockholm, Sweden. The office has windows, multiple coffee machines, and a team of amazing people working inside it. It's also cubicle-free. If you're one of the lucky Chosen Ones who gets to fish for us, your office might be an inshore boat in Tampa Bay, Florida. Or a kayak somewhere in South Carolina. Just sayin'. We're looking for talent to join our small team.
