• Own integration strategy and execution to connect retail applications, legacy systems, and cloud platforms—ensuring scalable, supportable interfaces and high-quality data synchronization.
• Establish integration standards (API strategy, event vs. batch patterns, SLAs, monitoring/alerting, incident response) and ensure resilience for store-critical and enterprise-critical feeds.
• Partner with application owners and vendors to prioritize integration backlog and deliver at retail speed (testing discipline, cutover planning, rollout across 900 locations).

Data Governance, Quality, Security, and Compliance

• Stand up data governance practices: data ownership, stewardship, data quality rules, lineage, controlled metric definitions, and change control.
• Ensure appropriate security and privacy controls (role-based access, sensitivity labels where used, auditability), especially for customer/loyalty and employee-related data.

Business Partnership & Value Realization

• Serve as a strategic partner to senior business leaders—translating business goals into analytics products and integration capabilities.
• Build a cadence of value measurement (adoption, time-to-insight, KPI improvements, reduced manual effort) and communicate progress through executive-ready dashboards and narratives.
• Lead prioritization across competing demands with a clear “enterprise first” lens.

Vendor / MSP Management and Financial Stewardship

• Manage systems integrators/MSPs delivering data engineering, BI development, and integration services—ensuring quality, velocity, security, and cost control.

• Background in product management for data/analytics (roadmaps, backlogs, adoption).

Leadership Attributes / Competencies

• Retail-first mindset: understands store operations realities, field adoption, and the need for reliable daily metrics.
