Why This Role / Why Now

Enterprises are at an inflection point where traditional reporting and fragmented analytics are no longer sufficient to support the speed, scale, and complexity of modern go-to-market execution. Advances in cloud data platforms and applied AI now make it possible to shift from reactive reporting to proactive, insight-driven decision-making.

This role exists to lead that transformation—consolidating analytics experiences, modernizing data foundations, and embedding intelligence directly into daily workflows. The timing is critical: the organization is scaling globally, raising expectations on productivity and execution rigor, and investing in AI to fundamentally change how decisions are made across sales and operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and deliver an enterprise-wide analytics and intelligence strategy that shifts the organization from static reporting to AI-powered decision intelligence.
• Lead the design and scale-up of a unified analytics experience that consolidates fragmented reporting into a single, intuitive interface for business and field users.
• Drive modernization of the data platform, including cloud-native architectures, modular data pipelines, and self-service experimentation capabilities.
• Embed advanced analytics and AI directly into business workflows, enabling insights and recommendations in the flow of work.
• Transform technology support operations through intelligent automation, conversational AI, and workflow-driven self-service solutions.
• Partner closely with sales, marketing, finance, and operations leaders to align metrics, planning rhythms, and decision frameworks.
• Establish strong governance, prioritization, and execution rigor to balance ‘run-the-business’ stability with ‘change-the-business’ innovation.
