Head of Data & Product

Role Overview
FC Mother is building the world’s first gamified maternal health dataset, where fan interactions and Assists generate Life Years metrics. The platform operates on global football infrastructure — partnered with Harvard and FIFA World Cup 2026 — generating what we believe will become the largest structured dataset in the world on human development and Social Determinants of Health.
We are seeking a founding partner-level, scrappy, entrepreneurial data leader with experience in high-growth environments who can turn user behavior and social health data into a scalable product.
This is not a corporate executive role. It is hands-on, mission-driven, and requires building the data engine that powers the platform and its impact.

Why This Exists
FC Mother uses gamification and football fandom to mobilize millions of people to deliver structured social support actions — called Assists — to Mothers. An Assist is a measurable unit of social capital transferred from a community member to a Mother, addressing a specific Social Determinant of Health.

The front-end of the platform is designed as a flywheel to generate Assists at scale. The back-end is where the scale of the intervention becomes a data collection engine.

Every Assist generates structured data: who gave it, what was requested, which Social Determinant it addressed, what behavioral shift it produced, and what health outcome it influenced. Over time, this creates an unprecedented longitudinal view of how communities support human development, longevity, and well-being — mapped across populations, geographies, and social conditions.
We have 18 global football partnerships and a FIFA World Cup 2026 Host City exclusive reaching 600 million fans. The distribution infrastructure to generate this data at scale is already in place.

Key Responsibilities

Data as Product

• Build and scale the Life Years dataset as the platform’s core product
• Design and implement gamified data capture mechanisms to measure social health outcomes
• Turn raw data into actionable insights, dashboards, and platform features
• Develop data products, tools, and intelligence with independent commercial value

Platform & Product Integration

• Collaborate with Product, Growth, and the Platform/Science team to ensure data drives user engagement, platform features, and measurable impact
• Define metrics, engagement loops, and KPIs that feed both product development and commercial growth
• Ensure the data architecture is embedded in the platform from the start, not bolted on later

Research & Intelligence

• Own the intelligence layer that transforms Assist data into validated social health protocols, community behavioral insights, and population-level developmental intelligence
• Build and maintain research collaboration infrastructure with Harvard and future academic partners
• Operate at the intersection of academic rigor and product velocity

Team & Operations

• Recruit, hire, and lead the first data, analytics, and intelligence team
• Establish standards for data quality, reliability, privacy, and scalability
• Build operational pipelines to transform social health interactions into structured datasets

Commercial & Strategic Impact

• Help operationalize partnerships and campaigns using data as a differentiator
• Support the founding team in leveraging data for growth, fundraising, and impact reporting
• Shape company strategy as a founding partner-level executive

Who You Are

• Entrepreneurial, hands-on, and operationally rigorous — thrives in early-stage, high-growth environments
• Experience building or scaling data-driven products at organizations operating at massive scale (health data, gaming, social platforms, consumer technology)
• Deep understanding of gamification, engagement loops, and behavioral data capture
• Product-minded: can turn data into platform features, insights, and commercial value
• Experienced in recruiting, mentoring, and scaling high-performing data teams
• The instinct to see a social health platform with billions of potential data points and understand immediately what that means
• Comfort operating as a founder — this is an early-stage infrastructure role with equity, not a staff position at a scaled company
• Mission-driven: passionate about Mothers’ Health, social impact, and measurable outcomes

Football interest is a plus. What matters more is understanding fandom and community behavior as a data generation mechanism.
