Our take: The real work here is setting the long-term direction for an enterprise data platform and leading a distributed team to build trusted, AI-enabled, self-service foundations that executives across the business can rely on.

If you love turning a tangle of dashboards and pipelines into a trusted, self-service data foundation, this is your kind of transformation. You will set the multi-year vision, grow a distributed team, and sit as a real thought partner to executives across Sales, Finance, Product, and People. It suits someone with a strong point of view on where data and AI are heading, who enjoys the long game of building certified foundations that other people build on with confidence.
