Director, Data Analytics – Business Intelligence

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take the initiative to build and manage essential dbt models utilized for reporting in finance, product, sales, and customer success — this role requires a hands-on approach and is not meant for delegation.

• Lead the development and enhancement of FiscalNote's enterprise analytics and reporting framework, acting as the definitive source of truth for business performance data.

• Anticipate analytical needs and create reporting solutions proactively, providing insights rather than merely responding to requests.

• Offer both functional and technical guidance across key BI platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Fivetran, Segment, Heap, Metabase, and Stitch.

• Serve as the primary technical administrator and functional leader for Metabase and Heap.

• Establish and uphold the reporting infrastructure within Metabase, ensuring that dashboards are precise, efficient, and accessible to relevant stakeholders.

• Create and maintain a self-service analytics framework that empowers business teams to independently address their inquiries with assurance.

• Prepare and present data models and reports for board and investor meetings aimed at senior leadership (CFO, CEO, CRO).

• Assist with M&A due diligence for both acquisitions and divestitures; spearhead data separation and migration efforts linked to transactions.

• Oversee audit-related tasks for relevant data systems, including controls, documentation, and compliance measures.

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

• Collaborate with various departments, including sales, marketing, finance, operations, product, and engineering, on data and analytics projects.

• Mentor and guide junior analysts outside of direct reporting lines.

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

• Create training programs to boost self-service analytics adoption and proficiency throughout the organization.

• Oversee system performance, scalability, security, and compliance across all managed platforms.

⛳️ Requirements

• A minimum of 8 years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, or a related domain, with at least 3 years in a senior or leadership role.

• Proven player/coach mentality — equally effective as an individual contributor and team leader, taking pride in both roles.

• Advanced SQL expertise with extensive, hands-on experience in querying and optimizing within Snowflake; capable of writing complex, production-grade SQL independently.

• Significant experience constructing data models from Salesforce data, along with a solid understanding of Salesforce's object structure, relationships, and typical data quality issues.

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

• Proficiency with contemporary data stack tools, including Snowflake, Databricks, Fivetran, and Segment.

• Experience in developing and managing reports in Metabase or similar BI platforms; familiarity with ThoughtSpot or Sigma is a strong advantage.

• Familiarity with and working knowledge of NetSuite, Coupa, Zendesk, and Gong data structures and integrations (preferred).

• Proven history of delivering executive-level analytics and reporting to C-suite stakeholders.

• Demonstrated capability to work independently with minimal guidance — identifying necessary builds, prioritizing tasks autonomously, and delivering results without waiting for direction.

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

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

• Excellent cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to influence without direct authority.

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

• Familiarity with SOX or similar audit and compliance frameworks related to data systems (preferred).

• Experience driving AI/ML or intelligent automation initiatives within a business analytics framework (preferred).

• Background in SaaS or technology firms featuring complex, multi-system data environments.
