Description PAY RANGE: $190,000 - 200,000
POSITION SUMMARY: The Director - Transformation Strategy & Analytics (D-TSA) is the operational and analytical architect of the TOE Office. This role functions as the "COO of Transformation" and as the analytics and data enablement leader for the TOE Office ensuring that every initiative has a quantified business case from day one, clear ROI targets, disciplined benefits tracking, appropriate system support, and data-driven performance management.
The D-TSA builds the analytics and measurement backbone that enables VMG to improve performance over time-through consistent KPI definitions, baseline establishment, data capture plans, dashboards, and decision-grade insights. The D-TSA partners closely with Operations, Finance, IT, and functional leaders to ensure that improvement initiatives translate into real, ledger-traceable outcomes. The Director also serves as the analytic and insight-generation arm of business transformation and is a key strategic partner to executive leadership to develop an analytical, data-driven culture across VMG.
Over time, the D-TSA is expected to broaden beyond analytics into direct operational leadership responsibilities.
