What You'll Lead Architectural Vision & Execution :

  • You will own the strategic roadmap for our data platform, leveraging our core stack of Snowflake and dbt.

  • You will recruit, lead, and empower data professionals, setting the standards for excellence in data modeling, engineering, and analytics.

    • Data Governance & Quality :

  • You will define and enforce data governance policies to ensure the integrity, security, and quality of our data.
  • This includes establishing a single source of truth and clear lineage from data ingestion to business-facing dashboards.
  • You will also implement tools and practices for proactive data quality monitoring , ensuring we have a high degree of trust in our data.

    • Security-First Design :

  • You will build a data platform with a security-first mindset .
  • This includes establishing robust RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) to manage permissions, and implementing best practices for handling sensitive information, including PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and data obfuscation .

    • Business Intelligence & Activation :

  • You will close the loop on our data strategy by building a robust reporting layer on top of our data warehouse.
  • This includes overseeing the integration and use of our business intelligence tools and identifying opportunities to use data to power operational systems (e.g., through reverse ETL), ensuring that our data warehouse isn't a dead-end but a central hub that drives business outcomes.
  • What We're Looking For The ideal candidate is a visionary builder with deep technical expertise and a proven track record of strategic leadership.

    • You likely demonstrate :

  • Experience : A minimum of 7+ years of progressive experience in a data leadership role, with a strong focus on architecting and scaling modern data platforms.
  • You have been responsible for designing and building data solutions, not just maintaining them.

    • Platform Expertise :

  • Extensive, hands-on experience with the Snowflake cloud data platform and a proven track record with dbt for data transformation and modeling.
  • Experience with data quality tools like Metaplane and business intelligence platforms is a major plus.

    • Technical Acumen :

  • Expert-level proficiency in SQL, data modeling (dimensional, star schema), and scripting languages like Python.
  • You understand the nuances of ELT vs.
  • ETL and have experience with modern data integration and orchestration tools.
