• Embed AI-powered capabilities (e.g., automated insights, summarization, conversational analytics) into analytics products
• Balance short-term reporting needs with long-term analytics and decision intelligence strategy

What You'll Bring

• 10+ years of experience in analytics, BI engineering, data engineering, or data science
• 4+ years of people management experience leading analytics or BI teams
• Strong experience with BI tools such as MicroStrategy, Looker, Tableau, or similar
