• Own the data roadmap across infrastructure, analytics, and data science, aligning priorities with business needs and growth goals
• Partner closely with marketing and other data-heavy stakeholders to ensure the team is solving the right problems and delivering real impact
• Strengthen the company’s data foundations so teams can make faster, better, and more confident data-driven decisions
• Guide technical decisions around data architecture, tooling, workflows, and platform development without needing to be the main hands-on builder
• Drive a high standard across data quality, delivery, and team execution, while keeping the team practical and focused
• Act as a key partner to senior leadership, translating business goals into a clear and commercially relevant data strategy
• Lead cross-functional data related AI initiatives with a company-wide mindset, ensuring strong solutions are communicated well, adopted by the right teams, and translated into real business usage
• Identify and push forward opportunities where AI and automation can improve internal workflows, efficiency, and decision-making across the business

Requirements

• Strong leadership experience managing data teams that include a mix of engineers, scientists, and analysts
• Background in data engineering or data science, with enough technical depth to guide architecture and delivery decisions credibly
• Experience working with large-scale data environments and supporting business-critical, data-driven decision-making
• Strong understanding of analytics, data platforms, and modern data tooling such as Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Python, or AWS
• Ability to work cross-functionally and drive adoption of data or AI solutions beyond the boundaries of the data team
• Experience building trust with demanding stakeholders and translating business needs into clear data priorities
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with execution, and structure with speed
• Good judgment on where process helps and where it only slows things down
• Strong interest in AI and automation, with a practical view on how they can improve workflows, decisions, and business performance
• Strong communication skills and the ability to make complex data topics clear, relevant, and actionable for non-technical stakeholders
