Job Summary:We are building an Intelligence Platform to serve as the single source of truth for insights, recommendations, and knowledge across the company. We are seeking a Data & AI leader to lead this transformation.
You will own the full arc from data foundation to business reporting to actionable intelligence: ingesting data from dozens of sources, resolving entities into a connected intelligence layer, powering AI and ML models on top that drive measurable commercial outcomes across both practice-level (B2B) and consumer-level (B2C) touchpoints. You will create clarity of intelligence, ensuring every insight is trusted, explainable, and directly tied to growth.

Power Commercial Intelligence & Growth Engines- Deliver AI-powered engines that can operate at scale
- Embed intelligence directly into commercial workflows (CRM, ordering, loyalty, digital platforms) so insights drive action at the point of decision
- Tie intelligence output to measurable outcomes: AOV, conversion, retention, share of wallet, pipeline velocity
Architect a Scalable Intelligence Platform- Design a modern data architecture incorporating knowledge graphs, entity resolution, vector databases, feature stores, and graph-based reasoning to create a connected intelligence layer
- Build and maintain an entity graph connecting components across the ecosystem with rich, queryable edges
- Own the semantic layer and metrics governance: consistent business definitions, reusable governed metrics, and decoupled business logic enabling self-service analytics and AI consumption
- Ensure platform scalability, reliability, governance, cost efficiency, and explainability at every layer
Build & Lead the Intelligence Organization- Define and build the AI & Insights team and establish collaboration models with the data engineering function
- Lead and coordinate strategic vendors, ensuring all work aligns with long-term architecture, not just short-term deliverables; transition critical capabilities in-house over time
- Establish a culture of outcome-driven intelligence, not report generation - every model, metric, and pipeline must trace to business impact
- Own data governance, quality, lineage, observability, and compliance across all data domains, including AI guardrails (bias checks, human-in-the-loop, auditability)
What You'll Bring:Strategic & Leadership- 10+ years in data, analytics, and AI, with at least 5+ years leading data or AI teams
- Proven track record of building compounding intelligence systems that directly drove revenue growth, ideally in B2B, B2C, or B2B2C environments

- Track record of building and scaling high-performing teams (data engineering, data science, analytics) from early stage to mature function
Technical Architecture & Execution- Graph Strategy & Reasoning - Spearheaded enterprise graph strategy to move beyond relational constraints, architecting high-scale knowledge graphs and entity resolution frameworks that power complex graph-based reasoning for deep business insights
- Platform Leadership & Intelligence - Led modernization of the enterprise data platform to create an AI-ready environment; championed integration of generative AI capabilities directly into the data core
- Unified Intelligence Architecture - Architected a unified intelligence layer integrating vector databases, feature stores, and LLM-powered agentic workflows, enabling rapid deployment of production-grade AI across the organization
- Operational Excellence (DataOps/MLOps) - Orchestrated world-class DataOps and MLOps practices, leveraging Python, dbt, and modern orchestration (Airflow/Dagster) to establish a resilient, automated CI/CD pipeline for high-velocity data delivery and model management
Domain & Commercial Intelligence- Experience operationalizing recommendation systems at scale with measurable commercial lift
