As the primary architect of the company's data roadmap, you will balance the "big picture" strategy-leveraging AI, predictive modeling, and data monetization-with the rigorous execution of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). You will be a transformation driver, ensuring that data is not just a reporting tool but a core commercial product that "delights" both internal stakeholders and external clients.

Audience Data & CDP Management: Oversee the management of audience data within the Customer Data Platform (CDP) to improve segmentation, retention, and personalized targeting. Essential Duties & Responsibilities
1. Strategic Leadership & Innovation
Drive the transition from traditional data science to innovative approaches, utilizing automation, predictive modeling, and AI to enhance efficiency and depth. Partner with Legal and Data Protection Officers (DPOs) to ensure all data strategies remain compliant with evolving privacy regulations. Evaluate and implement next-gen ad-tech and data-tech stacks to maintain a competitive market edge.
2. Operational & Client Excellence
Establish and enforce SOPs and client-facing SLAs to provide consistency and quality across all data deliverables. Act as a hands-on mentor to a growing team, fostering a culture of "operational excellence" where accuracy and meaningful application of results are top of mind. Lead high-level client meetings to define success metrics and establish guardrails for evolving requirements.
3. Cross-Functional Liaison
Product & Business Divisions: Partner to conceptualize and bring data products to market. Marketing: Provide the insights needed for audience growth and brand effectiveness. Finance: Collaborate on data monetization strategies and ROI reporting for internal investments. Sales Operations: Ensure the sales team is equipped with the data-driven "stories" and tools required to win and retain business.
Experience, Skills & Knowledge
Experience: 12-15+ years in a senior leadership role within data strategy, analytics, or digital operations. Experience in the pharmaceutical marketing or digital health space is highly preferred. Leadership: Proven track record of managing and mentoring diverse teams (analysts, engineers, and strategists) and building cross-functional consensus. Technical Proficiency: A strong command of the modern data stack, including SQL, JavaScript, Google Analytics 360, and Google Tag Manager. Experience with Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) and Google Cloud is essential. Commercial Acumen: Demonstrated ability to develop data-related products and services, including strategy for pricing and monetization.

Retention & Satisfaction: High client retention rates driven by the accuracy and frequency of insights reporting. Revenue Growth: Successful launch and monetization of new data-driven products.
