automated classification, RBAC enforcement, platform SLAs, and certified data objects.\n Formalize the Enterprise Data Catalogue, replacing institutional knowledge with a searchable, self-service discovery layer.\n Deploy and maintain an executive data health dashboard to provide ongoing visibility into the health and integrity of our data estate.\nEnforce the data procurement gate, ensuring new tools and systems are reviewed and classified before entering the estate.\n Build and own the Enterprise Data Asset Registry to enable secure, frictionless data sharing internally and with commercial partners.\nAI Enablement & Agentic Readiness\nDrive data infrastructure readiness to support Versapay’s AI roadmap - from ML pipelines and LLM serving layersto agentic serving tiers.\n\nEstablish formal schema contracts and semantic modelling standards that guarantee deterministic outputs for safe,scalable agent deployment.\n\n Partner with Product and Engineering to enable agentic capabilities: reverse data flow, predictive model productization, and real-time data serving.\nGovern data and AI exposure - ensuring sensitive data stays within approved platforms and all external data products meet strict quality, lineage, and privacy standards.\nData Accessibility & Commercialization\nEvolve the function from ad hoc data requests to a design-first, product-oriented organization with a governed, discoverable asset registry.\nOperationalize external data products for commercialization, delivering clear value to customers within consentand compliance frameworks.\n\nPartner with the commercial team on data product strategy - turning Versapay’s proprietary network data into defensible, recurring revenue.\nExpand self-service data access for internal teams while protecting compute capacity and governance standards. \nTeam Leadership\n Lead and grow the Data Platform Team, building a high-performing function with clear ownership across data strategy, engineering, consumption, AI compute; in tight partnership with the Embedded Analytics Team, Risk and Compliance.\n Act as the cross-functional bridge between Product, Engineering, Commercial, Finance, and Legal/Compliance- ensuring data serves every function from a shared, trusted foundation.\nBuild a culture of data discipline - standardizing how information is captured and governed so insight is consistent, discoverable, and trusted across the organization.\n Represent the data function at the executive level, partnering closely with the CTO and contributing to the broader AI and product roadmap.\nWhat You Bring\nRequired\n10+ years of experience in data leadership, with at least 5+ years at the Director level owning enterprise data strategy, architecture, or governance.\nDemonstrated track record of modernizing and unifying complex, multi-source data environments at scale - ideally in a SaaS, fintech, payments context.\nDeep expertise in modern data stack: cloud data warehouses (Snowflake preferred), lakehouse architectures, ETL frameworks, and semantic/canonical modelling.\nStrong evidence of application of AI and ML infrastructure - including how data governance, observability, and semantic standards underpin safe, scalable AI deployment.\nProven ability to build and lead high-performing technical teams and partner effectively across Product, Engineering, and Commercial functions.\nExperience governing data for commercial use: external data products, consent frameworks, lineage standards, and privacy compliance.\nExceptional communication skills - able to translate complex data and architectural concepts for executive audiences and build alignment across functions.\nExperience with managing the cost of data warehouses and cost forecasting.\nExperience in hiring and managing talent across the entire data food chain - from BI and Analytics to Data Engineering to CI/CD of data platforms.\nPreferred\nExperience with agentic AI architecture, MCP, or LLM serving layers and the data requirements that underpin them.\nFamiliarity with AR/AP automation, payments, or working capital platforms and the data models they generate.\nTrack record of commercializing data as a product - packaging data assets, building external APIs, or creating data-sharing programs with partners.\nExperience managing data maturity transformations with structured roadmaps, measurable milestones, and executive visibility.\nHands-on experience with AWS-native data infrastructure (Glue, SageMaker, Bedrock) alongside Snowflake and modern BI tooling.\nBackground in a PE-backed, high-growth SaaS environment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6476,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Billing & Subscription Management","Payment Processing & Gateways"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T19:49:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":62,"expected_fill_days":69,"reasons":["conf:1","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":161408,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/versapay-senior-director-enterprise-data-management","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/versapay-senior-director-enterprise-data-management.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T07:53:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12256,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3341},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3341"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fversapay-senior-director-enterprise-data-management"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fversapay-senior-director-enterprise-data-management"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fversapay-senior-director-enterprise-data-management"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/versapay-senior-director-enterprise-data-management\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fversapay-senior-director-enterprise-data-management"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":765379}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"versapay.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":765379},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
