At SAGE, we believe every meal matters. Every menu served, every student nourished, and every dining experience delivered creates an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Behind every meal is an incredible story told through data. From menus and nutrition to purchasing, operations, participation, and customer satisfaction, we generate millions of data points that can transform how we serve our clients and communities. We see data not simply as information, but as one of our most valuable strategic assets. We're seeking an exceptional Data and Analytics Manager to help shape the future of our organization. This is a hands-on senior leadership role for someone who enjoys balancing strategic vision with technical execution. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with strong business acumen and the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights that create measurable business value. If you're energized by building modern data ecosystems, creating scalable analytics platforms, and unlocking the full potential of data, we want to hear from you. The ideal candidate will be based in the Baltimore area and work primarily from our Home Offices in Lutherville, MD. We may also consider applicants who live within a reasonable commuting distance. Summary: The Data and Analytics Manager will play a pivotal role in transforming raw data into meaningful insights that improve operational excellence, enhance client experiences, support innovation, and drive business growth. This role will lead the design of the company's data platform, enable self-service data capabilities, establish governance and data quality standards, mentor a high-performing team, partner across the organization to deliver scalable analytics solutions, and remain close enough to the work to review data models, guide architecture decisions, and tackle complex analytical challenges alongside the team.
