Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is making a whole company's data trusted and self-serve across dashboards, AI agents, and bespoke apps, while leading a team of eight and setting the long-range strategy.
If you love turning tangled data into one trusted source that anyone, human or AI agent, can question and get the right answer, this is your canvas. You will set the strategy for how a whole company reaches its data, lead a team of eight, and stay close enough to the modelling and the code to keep your calls credible. It suits someone pragmatic in ambiguity who would rather ship the right next version than wait for the perfect end state.
