• Lead the design and delivery of standardized KPI suites and dashboards for executives, category teams, supplier partners, and member account teams (e.g., savings scorecards, compliance heatmaps, portfolio optimization).
• Partner with Product and Engineering to ensure the data platform (warehouse, semantic layer, BI tools) can support self-service analytics, embedded insights in member/supplier portals, and AI-driven use cases.
• Champion enterprise metrics and advanced analytics capabilities such as, forecasting, benchmarking, opportunity sizing, and integrity analytics, ensuring models are traceable, governed, and auditable.
• Translate business needs into clear data products (curated data sets, subject-area marts, APIs) that serve both internal teams and external-facing solutions.

Stakeholder leadership and collaboration

• Serve as the enterprise "single point of accountability" for data and analytics, aligning priorities across Technology, Category Management, Supplier Relations, Sales, Finance, and Operations.
• Partner with Supplier and Member-facing teams to co-create analytics offerings that differentiate the GPO (e.g., supplier growth playbooks, member CFO dashboards, public-sector transparency packs).

• Define operating rhythms (data council, data domain forums, metric review cadences) that keep governance and analytics tightly connected to business outcomes.
• Establish and track KPIs for the data function itself (data quality scores, adoption of governed datasets, BI usage, time-to-insight).
• Select and manage key tools and vendors in the analytics and governance ecosystem (warehouse, BI, catalog/governance, quality monitoring).

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Data/Computer Science, Information Systems, Analytics, Statistics, Business, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in analytics, data governance, or enterprise data management, including 3–5+ years leading teams.
