• Deliver customer facing and internal stakeholder insights (dashboards, anomaly alerts, executive scorecards) and internal decision tools that quantify value (savings, leakage, compliance, adoption, ROI)
• Advance data science use cases across forecasting, optimization, anomaly/fraud/leakage detection, causal inference, and personalization; operationalize models with robust monitoring and A/B testing
• Institutionalize data governance (quality, lineage, privacy/security) and champion Responsible AI; partner with Security/Compliance on controls (e.g., SOC 2, GDPR/CCPA)
• Own portfolio execution-from discovery and design to GA and iteration-using evidence based prioritization, strong program management, and crisp executive communication with internal stakeholders, leaders and clients
• Partner across the business to support commercial motions (value narratives, demos, analytics SLAs) and customer outcomes (adoption playbooks, benchmarks, and health KPIs)
• Hire, grow, and mentor team members to effectively and efficiently build, deploy and scale data and insights products

About you

• Extensive experience leading analytics/insights organizations with direct management of product team members and data science practitioners in a SaaS or data rich product context
• Proven track record building and scaling enterprise reporting, analytics, and insights platforms/products used by external customers. Experience with Databricks, Snowflake, Power BI, Thoughtspot or Sigma preferred
