## Fit decision

FAIL. Strong alignment on analytics strategy, Snowflake, SQL, data modeling, data products, SaaS, AI-powered analytics, technical roadmaps, executive partnership, and leadership of an 11-person organization.

## Direct-match strengths

Strong alignment on analytics strategy, Snowflake, SQL, data modeling, data products, SaaS, AI-powered analytics, technical roadmaps, executive partnership, and leadership of an 11-person organization.

## Hard or material gaps

Hard technology gap: the JD explicitly requires proficiency with Looker, Power BI, and semantic-layer/medallion architecture; Keith's sources support Snowflake and SQL but not Looker, Power BI, or formal medallion architecture. Travel is not disclosed. This appears to be the more detailed version of posting 4457510634.

## Full normalized job description

Director of Analytics
Location:
Remote (U.S.) – preference for Central or Eastern Time Zone candidates; West Coast candidates welcome if comfortable with occasional early meetings
About the Role
This leader will own two major areas: internal analytics and customer-facing data products.
On the internal side, the role supports business intelligence across Sales, Go-to-Market, Transactions, Operations, Call Center, and FP&A, built on Looker dashboards and modern analytics engineering practices.
On the customer-facing side, the role owns B2B analytics products delivered directly to business customers, including spend reporting, sustainability reporting, policy compliance and adherence reporting, and travel program analytics. This leader will be responsible for evolving both legacy reporting capabilities and new analytics product development.
The company is also investing in natural language and conversational analytics, bringing AI-powered interaction to travel program data. The analytics organization is responsible for the data modeling, SQL development, and semantic layer design that support those AI experiences.
This is not a hands-off management role. The organization needs someone who can drive analytics strategy, set the technical roadmap, own architecture discussions, lead modernization efforts, and partner heavily with Product and Executive Leadership, while remaining capable of running SQL in Snowflake, building and understanding Looker models, and participating directly in technical discovery.
What You'll Do
Drive analytics strategy and set the technical roadmap
Own architecture discussions and lead modernization efforts
Partner heavily with Product and Executive Leadership
Run SQL in Snowflake and build and understand Looker models
Participate in technical discovery, and challenge and guide technical decisions
Evolve legacy reporting capabilities while building new analytics products
Time Breakdown:
Half of the role is dedicated to driving technical roadmap and strategy, with a meaningful hands-on component. The other half is leadership, people management, and executive and stakeholder engagement.
What We're Looking For
Required:
10+ years of total experience, ideally including a career path from software engineering into analytics engineering and then into leadership, while staying close to tech and AI initiatives
5+ years leading teams, having managed teams of 10 or more people
Strong engineering foundation; pure BI analysts are unlikely to be successful in this role
Exposure to AI-powered analytics solutions and experience building AI-enabled analytics products
Understanding of modern LLM-driven workflows
Experience building SaaS platforms
Proficiency with Looker, Power BI, SQL, and Snowflake
Data modeling expertise, semantic layer modeling, and familiarity with medallion architecture
Understanding of the software development lifecycle, Jira, GitHub, and engineering team leadership
Nice to Have:
Conversational analytics experience
Natural language query and reporting product experience
Self-service analytics platform experience
Team Structure
Reports directly to the EVP of Data, AI, and Engineering
Interfaces heavily with the Director of Engineering and the Product team, including the Scrum Master
11 direct reports total: 6 individual contributors in Analytics Engineering & Reporting, plus a Client Reporting function of 4 individual contributors and 1 manager
Compensation & Benefits
Base Salary:
Up to $235,000
Bonus:
15–20%
Additional Benefits:
In addition to medical, dental, and vision coverage, the company offers an employee rewards and recognition program, a Total Rewards Package including wellness, sustainability, DE&I initiatives, and mental health support.
