THE OPPORTUNITY

A fast-scaling, a high-growth, subscription-based digital platform serving hundreds of thousands professionals across multiple verticals — is looking for a Vice President, Data & Analytics to lead one of the most consequential transformations in the company's history.

The Data & Analytics function today is a tenured, high-caliber team spanning directors, analytics managers, and analysts. It has the talent and the infrastructure. What it needs now is an executive who can elevate it from a reporting and support function into a true strategic business multiplier — embedding predictive, prescriptive, and AI-enabled capabilities directly into how the business grows, retains customers, and operates at scale.

This role reports to a C Suite Officer and serves all business ecosystems as a shared service across finance, operations, marketing, product, and customer experience. It is an enterprise-scope leadership role with executive visibility, a clear mandate, and significant room to build.

• Build predictive, prescriptive, and AI-enabled decision systems integrated directly into business workflows and customer experiences

• Define business-driven standards for data readiness: completeness, latency, accessibility, and usability

• Validate and benchmark enterprise data assets to ensure they're reliable and fit-for-purpose for advanced analytics and AI

▸ BUILD AND LEAD THE TEAM

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

MUST-HAVES:

• Ability to influence senior business leaders and translate analytics into operational and strategic action

• Track record of driving measurable business impact: revenue growth, retention, forecasting accuracy, efficiency, or productivity gains

STRONG DIFFERENTIATORS:

• Background at subscription-based or customer-journey-intensive companies — think Spotify, Duolingo, Peloton, Instacart, BetterUp, Stitch Fix, Zillow, Netflix, Zapier, or similar

• Experience operating in complex, post-acquisition, or fragmented-data environments

• MBA or advanced degree in Analytics, Data Science, Business, or a related field
