Sage is searching for a Director to lead the consolidation, modernization and AI-native transformation of its North American Data, Analytics & AI capability. This role exists to bring together today's disparate analytics, BI and data engineering teams into a single, cohesive, product-led function that operates as the trusted source of insight for the GTM organization. This is an opportunity to lead a major data transformation program - consolidating fragmented data assets, tools and platforms into a unified, governed enterprise data ecosystem - while simultaneously upskilling the team for the AI-native era and embedding modern data management practices at scale.
This is a builder's role. You will own the forward-looking data acquisition strategy, define and execute the analytics and AI product roadmap, and apply UX and persona-driven thinking to ensure data products are adopted and trusted by GTM stakeholders. You will lead through influence in a global, matrixed organization, partnering with functions that do not directly report to them, and will personally coach the team to deliver deep analytical insight projects that drive measurable commercial outcomes. To be successful, you must bring extensive enterprise data leadership experience, product lifecycle fluency (including SDLC), a track record of large-scale technology and database conversions, and the credibility to be a trusted adviser to GTM executives in a high-growth SaaS environment.
