More about this role

About the Role

The Director of Data Platform & Operations serves as both the technical backbone and the people leader of our data organization: the architect who designs and builds our data infrastructure, the engineer who ships and maintains the pipelines that power it, and the primary technical point of contact bridging the business and the platform. This person will lead our Data Engineering, Data Governance, and BI/Analytics teams, own our BI strategy end to end, and lead the data foundation for our Glean AI implementation, ensuring the data feeding our AI search and knowledge tools is well-structured, governed, and trustworthy.

This is a hands-on leadership role: equal parts architect, engineer, people manager, and strategic partner to the business.

Why This Role Matters

Data is the foundation everything else gets built on: reporting, AI, and business decisions all depend on it being accurate, accessible, and well-architected. This role owns that foundation and is the go-to technical voice ensuring the rest of the business can trust and use it.
