🚀 Our story

Partly's mission is to connect the world's parts. We're building the first global platform for replacement parts — starting with automotive — and we're doing it with infrastructure-grade technology in a $1.9 trillion industry that's still running on manual workflows and legacy data.

Founded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we've more than tripled our team in the last 12 months, with backing from Blackbird Ventures, Square Peg, Octopus Ventures, and personal investment from Dylan Field (Figma) and Akshay Kothari (Notion). Partly's solutions are live across hundreds of companies globally, providing the backbone for cataloguing and managing parts online.

We're now building out our UK and European business — and we need the person who turns that growth story into numbers that prove it.

🖍️ This role

Partly's UK and EU business is growing fast. We have customers, we have product, and we have a clear growth thesis. What we don't have yet is the analytical infrastructure to measure it rigorously, spot what's working, and direct resources with confidence.

This is that role.

As BI Lead, you'll be the first dedicated intelligence function for the UK and EU region — owning everything from KPI definitions to customer activity reporting to the growth narrative we use to make commercial decisions. You'll work directly with the UK General Manager, BizOps, and Data Engineering, and your work will sit at the centre of how this region operates.

💻 What will you do

• Build the reporting foundation for UK & EU Understand how our customers use the Partly platform — what actions they take, where they get stuck, what drives durable engagement — and translate that into scalable, reliable reporting that the commercial team can act on. You'll work closely with Data Engineering to ensure the underlying data is structured correctly and BizOps to make sure the outputs are actually used.

• Define what "good" looks like across the business Establish standard KPI definitions for the UK and EU business. Revenue, activation, retention, network penetration — these metrics mean different things to different teams today. Your job is to make them mean one thing, consistently, with full confidence in the numbers behind them.

• Prove the growth thesis with data Partly's UK strategy has ambition behind it. Your job is to put numbers to it — building the analytical case for where we're winning, where we're not, and where the biggest opportunities are. This isn't retrospective reporting; it's forward-looking intelligence that shapes decisions.

• Be the analytical partner the business trusts Work across Product, Commercial, and Operations to translate business questions into analytical answers quickly. You won't have a team yet, so responsiveness and commercial judgment matter as much as technical depth.
