About Typeform

One sunny Barcelona morning, two designers sat down to build a beautiful lead generation form for a bathroom company's showroom. They ended up reimagining the data collection experience, and realised it was one idea they wouldn't flush down the toilet. Today, Typeform is a team of over 400 people from more than 35 countries, with offices in Barcelona, Spain and San Francisco, US.

We're building a world where brands, businesses, and their communities can have more personal relationships with the people who matter most. To do this, we give people the tools they need to have conversational experiences at scale—because meaningful relationships start with conversations.

From online lead forms and engaging quizzes, to face-to-face encounters in the office, help us build more meaningful relationships, one conversation at a time.

About the Role

Reporting to a Chief Financial Officer, you will foster a data and insights-driven culture aligned with the outcomes-driven company strategy. You'll work with leaders across the company and the senior management to identify strategic opportunities to increase the value of data, and set up processes that ensure data and analysis quality and consistency.

The VP will also lead the creation of data parameterisation, top-notch scalable tools and data infrastructure, develop advanced analytics and Machine Learning functions, and build data products that nurture the customer journey and ensure an augmented product experience.

  • Lead the creation of a single, reliable, and accurate Source of Truth, avoiding data silos; and establish a solid, in-depth quantitative understanding of our customers.
  • Create processes for the appropriate protection of data through a defined life cycle, from acquisition or creation to end of life destruction.
