Director of Data (m/f/d)
Reporting to the CTO, you will own the data strategy and execution for Moonfare at a pivotal moment in our growth. We are building the infrastructure and intelligence layer that will power how we serve investors, operate as a business, and scale into new markets, and data is the foundation everything else depends on. You will inherit a capable team and a real mandate: to bring it together, raise the bar, and build a data function that is fit for where Moonfare is going, not just where it has been. The role demands someone who can hold the strategic vision and get into the technical detail, knowing when to lead from the front and when to elevate the people around them. In return, you get a rare scope, shaping how a fast-growing private equity platform thinks about, structures, and activates its data from the ground up.
This role sits at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and the wider business, leading our combined Data Engineering and Analytics function. The team is 6 people across pipelines, analytics, and architecture who will come together under your leadership into one cohesive function with a shared mission. The team's work underpins how Moonfare makes decisions, serves its investors, and builds towards an AI-driven operating model, making this one of the highest-leverage functions in the business.
You will:
- Define and execute the data strategy for Moonfare, building the platforms, pipelines, and governance that give the business a reliable, scalable, and intelligent data foundation to grow on.
- Bring 6 people across data engineering, analytics, and architecture into one cohesive team, setting the operating model, rituals, and standards that make the function more than the sum of its parts.
- Architect and build the infrastructure that sources, structures, and serves data across investment, investor relations, operations, and compliance use cases.
- Partner closely with Engineering and Product to make data the substrate that our AI and agentic capabilities are built on, and with the business to enable self-serve reporting and operational intelligence.
- Stay deep in the technical detail across architecture reviews, design decisions, and pipeline trade-offs, while also representing data credibly to executive stakeholders and the Board.
- Embed compliance and regulatory thinking into every layer of the platform, recognising the demands of operating in a regulated financial services environment.
The next Moonfarian:
- You bring deep, hands-on expertise across data engineering, AI, architecture, and pipelines. You lead the strategy and get into the weeds with your team on the hardest technical problems, contributing directly rather than just directing from a distance.
- You've built or significantly evolved a modern data platform in a regulated financial services environment, and you understand what compliance, auditability, and data quality actually demand at the architecture level.
- You have a strong, opinionated point of view on what modern AI and agentic systems need from a data function, and you've put that thinking into practice in real products and platforms, not just on slides.
- You're an experienced people leader who has unified or scaled a multi-disciplinary data team, and can bring engineers, analysts, and architects together around a shared mission while knowing when to roll up your sleeves alongside them.
- You thrive in pressured, high-ambiguity scale-up environments and are energised by carrying both the strategic load and a meaningful share of the technical work.
- You're a credible partner to executives and cross-functional stakeholders, able to translate between business outcomes and technical reality.
We can only accept applications from those eligible to live and work in Berlin. This is a hybrid role with office attendance required 4 days/week.
Please note that we do not accept applications sent by email. You should submit your application directly through our careers website.

- Ownership and Impact:

We support your development with an individual growth budget of €1,500 or 2% of your base salary (whichever is higher). - Invest in Your Future:
We support your long-term financial goals with a company pension scheme, providing a 20% employer contribution. - Relax and Recharge:
You start with 25 vacation days and you’ll receive one additional day for each year of tenure, up to a maximum of 30 days. - Daily Lunch:
Enjoy a free lunch every day that you are in the Berlin office, with a weekly changing menu that includes salads, curries, pastas, and a variety of vegan and vegetarian options. - Subsidised Public Transport:
We support your commute with a monthly subsidy for the Deutschland job ticket, making your travel easier and more affordable. - Fitness and Wellbeing:
Stay active with a subsidised Urban Sports Club membership, giving you flexible access to a wide variety of sports and wellness activities across Germany. - A Culture of Excellence:
