About the role

Build and lead the centralized data and analytics function from the ground up, owning the full data lifecycle from systems integration and architecture to BI, reporting, and analysis. Partner with leaders across Finance, GTM, Mission, Product, Services, Support, Engineering, People, and Operations to create a trusted, scalable source of truth and automated reporting for management, board, and investors.

Responsibilities

  • Architect the company's data warehouse, cloud platform, pipelines, data models, and BI infrastructure to replace ad-hoc reporting with reliable, reusable assets.
  • Establish governance, definitions, and lineage for company KPIs so metrics live in one governed place and survive audit and investor scrutiny.
  • Build automated, recurring dashboards and operating reviews for department leaders, executives, the board, and investors—timely, consistent, and decision-useful.
  • Govern self-service analytics capabilities so teams answer their own recurring questions without sacrificing consistency or data quality.
  • Own platform decisions, vendor relationships, reliability, cost, scalability, and security posture across the data tooling ecosystem.
  • Synchronize data across ERP, CRM, planning systems, spend management, HRIS, product telemetry, contract and program systems, and third-party sources.
  • Partner with Finance, GTM and Revenue Operations, Mission and Programs, Product, Engineering, and Operations to identify trends and drive decisions with evidence.
  • Establish standards for code review, documentation, and quality; set the roadmap, prioritization process, and intake model for the function.
  • Build analytics across mixed revenue models—commercial subscriptions, federal contracts and grants, and professional services—ensuring metrics hold up to accounting and audit requirements.
  • Hire, onboard, and develop a high-performing analytics team as the business scales; manage the data tooling budget and vendor relationships.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years in data, analytics, or business intelligence, including 3+ years leading a function, a team, or a company-wide data initiative.
  • Demonstrated experience building an analytics capability where little or none existed — zero-to-one implementation experience.
  • Advanced SQL and hands-on experience with modern data stacks (cloud warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or Redshift; transformation frameworks like dbt; ingestion tooling; semantic layers; BI platforms such as Looker, Power BI, Tableau, Sigma, etc.).
  • Working knowledge of SaaS business and financial metrics (ARR, retention, CAC and payback, gross margin, cohort behavior) and judgment to ensure metrics are audit-ready.
  • Experience building reporting consumed by executives, boards, or investors with accuracy discipline.
  • Track record designing data governance frameworks that enforce metric definitions across finance, sales, and engineering.
  • Ability to translate between technical implementation and business decisions in both directions.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and owning outcomes; this is a build role.
