  • Oversee data platform vendor relationships and internal tools to ensure the highest levels of performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Develop enterprise-wide reporting and analytics solutions that provide key stakeholders with timely, relevant, and actionable insights.
  • Promote self-service analytics capabilities, enabling business units to explore data independently while maintaining consistency and accuracy.
  • Drive the advancement of data science initiatives, applying advanced analytics and machine learning where appropriate to solve complex business challenges.
  • Partner with leaders across Product, Engineering, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and other departments to identify key data needs, surface insights, and shape decision-making.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to the executive team, translating data-driven insights into strategic recommendations that support business objectives.

  • Demonstrated success in building and scaling data teams and infrastructure at a high-growth or technology-driven company.
  • Proven track record of leading complex, cross-functional data initiatives that delivered measurable business impact.
