Driving Strategic Decisions Through Data
The Head of Business Intelligence will define and execute a comprehensive BI strategy that aligns with OKX’s long-term business goals. You’ll lead a high-performing team responsible for building scalable data architectures, designing advanced analytics frameworks, and delivering real-time performance monitoring systems.
Your primary mission? To transform raw data into strategic intelligence. This means developing north star metrics that guide company-wide KPIs, creating intuitive dashboards for stakeholders, and ensuring every department—from Product and Engineering to Marketing and Compliance—has the insights they need to succeed.
You’ll also play a critical role in identifying growth opportunities by analyzing market trends, user behaviors, and trading patterns. By leveraging AI and machine learning models, you’ll help uncover hidden patterns in on-chain data, detect emerging user segments, optimize marketing campaigns, and strengthen risk mitigation strategies.
Leading Innovation in Crypto Analytics
OKX operates at the forefront of blockchain technology. As such, this role demands more than traditional BI expertise—it requires a deep understanding of crypto market dynamics and blockchain analytics.
You’ll work closely with engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of on-chain and off-chain data sources. Whether it’s tracking wallet activity, monitoring transaction flows, or evaluating dApp engagement, your team will build the infrastructure needed to make sense of complex decentralized ecosystems.
Moreover, your insights will directly influence market localization and expansion strategies. With OKX serving users across multiple regions, your ability to interpret regional behaviors, regulatory landscapes, and user acquisition channels will be instrumental in scaling our global footprint.

Building a Data-First Culture
Beyond systems and dashboards, your impact will extend to people and processes. A key responsibility is fostering a data-first culture across OKX. This involves mentoring your BI team, promoting best practices in data governance, and empowering non-technical teams to make informed decisions using self-service analytics tools.
You’ll establish robust data quality standards and ensure compliance with international regulations like GDPR and multi-region data policies. In an industry where trust is paramount, maintaining data integrity and transparency isn’t just best practice—it’s essential.
Your leadership will also involve staying ahead of technological advancements. From evaluating next-generation BI platforms like Looker and Power BI to exploring cutting-edge applications of AI in sentiment analysis and predictive modeling, continuous innovation will be part of your DNA.

- A bachelor’s or master’s degree from a top-tier university.
- At least 8 years of experience in business intelligence, data analytics, or related fields, with 3+ years in a leadership capacity.
- Proven track record in crypto, finance, or internet industries, preferably within high-growth environments.

- Demonstrated success in local market expansion, including channel development, paid advertising strategies, and cross-sell/upsell campaign optimization.
