About Dedale:
Dedale is the differentiating source of strategic intelligence in the technology space. With a unique team of over 100 full-time
research analysts & planners, Dedale leverages a network of over 10 000 market professionals to deliver on the ground strategic
intelligence to investors and corporates, with a core focus around North America and Europe.
Our team gathers top talents with diverse and international backgrounds. Our Research & Investment team has the strongest
expertise in the ecosystem on B2B Software due diligence, and we are surrounded by a network of mentors including high-profile
tech founders and investors.
Our Culture:
Dedale gathers a group of highly talented international individuals (incl. US, Chinese, Filipino, French, Moroccan, Latvian,
Lebanese nationalities among others).
The leadership team is composed of experienced investment professionals & management consultants (ex-McKinsey, BCG consultants &
managers).
Our advisory board is extremely high profile, including some of the most successful investors worldwide (incl. Managing Partners
of the largest PE and Growth Equity funds, and Tech unicorn entrepreneurs).
We seek to develop a dream team of outstanding investment analysts with strong academic and professional achievements and a
passion for investing and technology.
Your Role:
A senior leader to co-own Dedale's data function — leading our 20-person data production team in Cebu and partnering with our Data
Engineering Lead in Paris. Our data is frontline and paramount to our core Product. You'll set what “excellence in Data &
Intelligence” means at Dedale, own the operational backbone behind every dataset we ship, and scale how we produce intelligence as
we grow.
You set the standard across our flagship intelligence products:
Deep company profiles — anchored in expert interviews — on B2B software and tech-enabled services companies
Financials, ownership, deals and team analytics on companies in our coverage
Proprietary benchmarks built from structured customer and alumni data points
- Open-source and research team production enrichment streams (web, LinkedIn, public sources, expert interviews, formal desk
research…) that feed all of the above
You also lead and scale the Cebu-based team that produces this intelligence. You design the workflows, quality rubrics and
AI-augmented rituals that let us multiply output without losing rigor. This role is hands-on with the content: you read the data,
challenge it, redesign the frameworks behind it — and own the teams that ships it.
Reports to the CPO (Paris), with a local dotted line to our Head of APAC (Cebu). Co-leads Data with our Data Engineering Lead
(Paris). Direct path toward VP Data Operations.
Your Responsibility:
- Own the quality, accuracy, and scalability of Dedale’s intelligence datasets, company profiles, and research outputs for PE,
M&A, and corporate strategy clients
- Serve as the final quality gate for flagship deliverables, defining and monitoring standards for completeness, freshness,
accuracy, and classification quality
- Design and evolve research methodologies, interview frameworks, taxonomies, and intelligence structures across B2B software and
tech-enabled services
- Build scalable processes to transform unstructured research, interview, and market data into structured, queryable intelligence
datasets
- Define sourcing, validation, enrichment, and signal-generation priorities aligned with deal sourcing, diligence, and strategic
decision-making use cases
- Lead and scale an APAC-based data and research operations team, driving execution, operational cadence, and performance
management
Own operational KPIs including throughput, SLA adherence, audit quality, dataset freshness, and customer-reported issues
- Drive the effective integration of AI/LLM workflows across research, extraction, classification, summarisation, and quality
review processes
- Partner closely with Product, Research, Commercial, and Engineering teams on roadmap priorities, tooling, hiring, and long-term
data strategy
Co-lead the Data function alongside the Data Lead Engineer as Dedale expands across sectors and geographies
Your Qualifications
Across the firm, we attract motivated, intellectually curious, and analytically rigorous young professionals who are passionate
about learning and creating impact. It's highly likely you'll move forward in the process if:
- 5+ years in research, intelligence, knowledge management, consulting, or content-driven data roles — with at least 2 years
leading a team
- You've owned a structured intelligence product or dataset that customers actually paid for — and you've shipped it to the bar
your customers demanded
- Editorial judgment you can demonstrate — you read 200 rows of a dataset and instantly spot the 20 that are wrong, and you can
explain why
Track record designing taxonomies, ontologies or research frameworks for complex domains
Experience scaling team operations: SOPs, quality controls, throughput KPIs, capacity planning
- Comfortable in technical conversations — you don't need to write SQL, but you can sit with engineers, weigh trade-offs and
shape what gets built
- Hands-on with modern AI tooling: you've used LLMs to extract, classify or summarise data, and you know where they're
trustworthy and where they aren't
Comfortable working across Manila–Paris timezones and as part of a remote co-leadership
Fluent English
Cherry on the Cake!
You like collaborating as a team and delivering your best as an individual
You are passionate about technology, innovation, and investment
