Job Description

We’re looking for a high-velocity Data Strategist to serve as the 'Value Architect' for our global M&A engine. This isn't just about moving tables—it's about building the financial and technical blueprint that scales our data ecosystem every time we bring a new company into the fold. Reporting directly to the Head of Enterprise Data Intelligence, you’ll own the end-to-end integration roadmap, from modeling Day-1 migration costs to negotiating the long-term prioritization of BI and Master Data workstreams with business leads. If you’re a data-fluent MBA or consultant who wants to sit at the intersection of Growth, Finance, and Enterprise Tech, this is your chance to drive the strategy behind our most high-profile acquisitions.

Acquisition Backlog & Prioritization:Act as the primary liaison between the Enterprise Data Intelligence team and business unit leaders to manage the M&A integration queue. You will:

  • Facilitate the "intake" of new data integration requests.

  • Rank and prioritize the backlog of acquired entities for DWH, BI, and MDM integration based on business impact, technical readiness, and resource capacity.

Integration Financial Modeling: Develop the comprehensive "Cost-to-Integrate" models. You will forecast hosting expenses, licensing, and labor costs for migrating acquired data into our Enterprise Data Warehouse, Master Data Models, and Business Intelligence tools.

Phased Roadmap Orchestration:Drive the "Data Playbook" for all new acquisitions:

  • Immediate DWH migration and infrastructure cost-modeling.

  • Alignment of BI tools and reporting standards.

  • Master Data Management (MDM) integration following data profiling and cleansing.

Budgetary Liaison:Serve as the primary point of contact for the Head of EDI to ensure all M&A data work is accurately represented in the broader IT budget and corporate due diligence estimates.

Cross-Functional Coordination: Partner with cross-functional teams and business stakeholders to track integration milestones and adjust financial forecasts as application landscapes change.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.

  • Advanced Degree: MBA from a top-tier business school is highly preferred.

  • Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in Consulting, Corporate Strategy, FP&A, Data Operations, Private Equity, or related fields.

  • M&A Exposure: Prior experience in due diligence, post-merger integration (PMI), or working within a Private Equity portfolio company.

  • Technical Literacy: Familiarity with modern data stack tools and the ability to interpret data profiling results. (AWS, SQL, Tableau, etc)

  • Financial Modeling: Demonstrated experience building complex financial models (TCO, ROI, or Budget Forecasting).

  • Data Lifecycle Knowledge: Functional understanding of the journey from raw data to business value (Data Warehousing, BI/Reporting, and MDM).

  • Strategic Prioritization: Experience using Value-Based Prioritization frameworks to manage a large project backlog or product roadmap.

  • Industry Background: Experience in IT within a high-growth or acquisitive organization.

  • Data Lifecycle Knowledge: Functional understanding of the journey from raw data to business value (Data Warehousing, BI/Reporting, and MDM).

  • Project Leadership: Proven track record of managing cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders and competing deadlines.

  • Communication: Exceptional ability to translate technical data concepts into business-friendly language for executive-level presentations.

Target Base Salary Range: $130,000 USD - $150,000 USD

Consistent with Motorola Solutions values and applicable law, we provide the following information to promote pay transparency and equity. Pay within this range varies and depends on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The actual offer will be based on the individual candidate.
