Broadview Capital - Data & Analytics Lead
About The Position
This is a data operating lead role at Broadview, focused on building the trusted data foundation that helps Broadview and its portfolio company leaders run businesses with better visibility, better discipline, and better decisions. Most middle-market businesses arrive with data that is not yet ready for ownership-level decision making. Information lives across ERPs, CRMs, accounting systems, spreadsheets, and PDF reports. KPIs may be defined differently across businesses, or even differently within the same business over time. Broadview is hiring its first dedicated data leader to help solve these problems across the portfolio. This is not an IT generalist role, a CIO role, or a pure dashboarding role. It is a hands-on builder role for someone who can understand messy operational data, establish clean and connected data environments, and turn that work into reliable KPI reporting that executives, operators, and investment professionals can actually use. The opportunity is to build, with meaningful latitude, the data backbone that makes Broadview a materially better owner of middle-market businesses. Done well, this work becomes a competitive advantage in how Broadview runs what it owns and how it diligences and integrates what it acquires.
Requirements
- Experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, business intelligence engineering, or an adjacent technical discipline

- Ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences
- Ability to move from a database conversation with a developer, to a KPI discussion with a portfolio company CEO, to an ownership briefing with Broadview’s investment team without losing effectiveness
- Build for repeatability, not heroics
- Comfortable operating autonomously in a small, senior team where there is no large technology organization to delegate into
