Director, Data Analytics – Business Intelligence

📋 Description

• Take the lead in building and maintaining core dbt models that are utilized for reporting across finance, product, sales, and customer success — this is an individual contributor role that requires hands-on involvement, not delegation.

• Own and enhance FiscalNote's enterprise analytics and reporting framework, serving as the definitive source for business performance data.

• Proactively spot analytical gaps and create reporting solutions before stakeholders recognize the need — provide insights rather than merely responding to requests.

• Offer functional and technical leadership across essential BI platforms, including Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Fivetran, Segment, Heap, Metabase, and Stitch.

• Serve as the direct technical administrator and functional lead for Metabase and Heap.

• Construct and maintain the reporting infrastructure in Metabase, ensuring that dashboards are accurate, efficient, and accessible to stakeholders.

• Establish and uphold a self-service analytics framework that empowers business teams to confidently answer their own queries.

• Prepare and present board- and investor-level data models and reports for senior leadership (CFO, CEO, CRO).

• Assist in M&A due diligence for acquisitions and divestitures; lead the data separation and migration processes related to transactions.

• Oversee audit-related activities for in-scope data systems, including controls, documentation, and compliance.

• Promote data governance and quality standards across all managed platforms.

• Collaborate across functions with sales, marketing, finance, operations, product, and engineering on data and analytics initiatives.

• Mentor and coach junior analysts outside of your direct reporting line.

• Propel AI/ML initiatives and automation efforts to enhance analytical efficiency and scalability.

• Develop training programs to boost self-service analytics adoption and proficiency across the organization.

• Manage system performance, scalability, security, and compliance across all owned platforms.

⛳️ Requirements

• Extensive experience in constructing data models from Salesforce data, with a comprehensive understanding of Salesforce's object structure, relationships, and typical data quality challenges.

• Practical experience in building and maintaining dbt models within a production environment.

• Proficient with modern data stack tools, including Snowflake, Databricks, Fivetran, and Segment.

• Familiarity with NetSuite, Coupa, Zendesk, and Gong data structures and integrations is preferred.

• A history of delivering executive-level analytics and reports to C-suite stakeholders.

• Strong data governance mindset with experience in establishing quality standards and documentation practices.

• Experience managing and scaling small, high-impact technical teams.

• Excellent cross-functional leadership skills, capable of influencing without direct authority.

• Experience supporting M&A due diligence or system migrations in a corporate transaction context is preferred.
