Full Job Description
We are looking for a transformational leader to build and lead Business & Operational Analytics for Power Computing Products (PCP), the fastest-growing business within the Power Products Group (PWR), with a charter to scale the capability across PWR.
Today, we have strong visibility into financial outcomes-revenue, GM%, and OM%-but limited visibility into the operational drivers behind those outcomes. This role will establish the metrics, analytics, systems, and operating mechanisms needed to provide leadership with a fact-based view of NPI health, operational performance, productivity, risks, and business impact.
This is not a reporting or dashboard role. The leader will define the future-state operating model, build the organization and analytics capability, leverage AI, and drive measurable business transformation.
Key Responsibilities
1. Build the Performance Management System
• Establish a comprehensive framework for business and operational health beyond financial metrics.
• Define critical KPIs, leading indicators, targets, ownership, and accountability.

• Build a comprehensive framework to measure NPI health, execution velocity, readiness, cost/margin, quality, risk, and post-launch performance.
• Develop leading and predictive indicators to identify which programs are healthy, at risk, why, and what intervention is required.
• Benchmark execution productivity and efficiency across products, programs, functions, resources and sites.
3. Turn Data into Business Insights
• Move from descriptive reporting to diagnostic and predictive analytics.
• Identify root causes and quantify the business and financial impact of operational issues and opportunities.
• Integrate data across Finance, Engineering, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Product Management, and IT/Data.
• Enable faster, fact-based resource, investment, and business decisions.
4. Build the Organization & Drive Business Transformation
• Assess the current state and define the target operating model, organization, and transformation roadmap.
• Build a high-performing Business & Operational Analytics team with clear interfaces across Business, IT, and Data.
• Simplify, standardize, automate, and transform processes using data, analytics, and AI.
• Establish scalable tools, standards, and continuous-improvement mechanisms with clear accountability and measurable outcomes.
• Partner with senior leaders to turn insights into decisions, actions, and business impact.
5. Leverage AI & Advanced Analytics
• Identify and scale high-value opportunities for AI-enabled operational intelligence.
• Develop predictive models for NPI risk, schedule, quality, supply, capacity, cost, and business outcomes.
• Deploy AI agents and intelligent workflows to automate data gathering, analysis, issue identification, and performance management.
• Move from static dashboards to intelligent, exception-based decision support.
• Establish and scale an AI roadmap across PWR.
6. Scale Across PWR
• Initially focused on PCP, establish a scalable PWR Performance & Operational Intelligence capability.
• Create common standards, metrics, systems, and operating mechanisms across PWR.
• Provide leadership with an integrated view of NPI Health / Operational Performance / Productivity / Cost / Risk / Business Impact.

Leadership Profile

The ideal candidate:
• Thinks strategically, operates with urgency, and is comfortable creating structure from ambiguity.

• Understands that analytics creates value only when it changes decisions and improves outcomes.
• Can build a team and operating model from the ground up.
