We’re proud to have a diverse, global team where we value the individual and enrich our culture by considering varied perspectives because we believe people power progress. Join us as a
Director, Data and Analytics and help us do what we do best: propelling business forward. This will be a remote role working out of your home office in the United States.
In this role, you will:
- Lead the transformation of our enterprise data environment by migrating from our legacy SQL Server data warehouse to a modern data platform, positioning the company for scale, performance, and data trust.
- Drive the transition from Tableau Server to Power BI as our standard visualization and analytics layer, including the rationalization of legacy dashboards and adoption of a governed semantic layer.
- Ensure the successful delivery and long-term integration of the ARR & Renewal Pool Data Product, working closely with our third-party partner to align architecture, prevent rework, enable trust, and increase business adoption.
- Own and evolve our data engineering, analytics engineering, and BI/reporting teams, ensuring the right structure, roles, and workflows to balance day to day support and strategic execution.
- Implement a predictable data product operating model, including intake, prioritization, SLAs, ceremonies, and communication rhythms that create transparency and confidence in delivery.
- Partner closely with Finance, Sales Operations, Customer Success, Product, and IT to ensure data quality, availability, and adoption across the business.
- Establish foundational data governance, quality management, and lifecycle practices, ensuring our data is accurate, secure, and trusted.
- Communicate clearly and consistently with executives — setting expectations, sequencing work, highlighting trade-offs, and providing status visibility throughout the modernization journey.
Your background:
- 10+ years in Data & Analytics, including experience leading a data platform modernization initiative in a complex enterprise environment.
- Proven success driving adoption of Power BI or a similar enterprise visualization platform, with an emphasis on Self-Service rather than Dashboard curation, at scale.
- Strong familiarity with modern Data Platform concepts, semantic modeling, and analytics platform architecture, with the ability to challenge technical assumptions and guide design decisions.
- Experience building or maturing data platforms, governance practices, semantic models, AI-enabled analytics and data product delivery frameworks.
- Track record of leading data engineering, analytics engineering, and BI/reporting teams, ideally in a distributed or global model.
- Demonstrated ability to partner with GTM, Finance, IT, and Executive leadership to align priorities and drive adoption.
Your soft skills:
- Product Mindset: You deliver outcomes, not artifacts — focusing on clarity, usability, adoption, and business value.
- Expectation Setter: You communicate early, directly, and clearly, especially around timelines, trade-offs, and priorities.
- Influential Leader: You earn trust, challenge assumptions, and can say “no” in a way that leads to alignment, not friction.
- Calm in Ambiguity: You bring structure to complex environments and create clarity in moments of change.
- Business-Savvy Storyteller: You translate complex data and technical concepts into simple, actionable business language.
- Team Developer: You coach, align, and elevate talent — building a predictable, high-trust, high-ownership operating model.
