Director, Consumer Data Platform & Analytics Enablement
About The Position
The Consumer Data Platform & Analytics Enablement Director is a new position within Sandisk’s Global Consumer Intelligence & Analytics (“CIA”) function. The mission of CIA is to enable our “Consumer at the Center” strategy, by driving consumer centricity into decision-making that drives company growth. This role will be the leading voice for the Consumer data domain and will manage the Consumer domain within our corporate Lakehouse architecture. Ultimately, this role will deliver a Power BI-first and fully agentic AI-enabled ecosystem to enable self-serve business data and reporting at scale. This role is expected to deliver meaningful, production-ready Consumer data products and KPIs on a regular cadence, while legacy reporting is maintained in parallel during transition. We are seeking a strategic, results-oriented leader with a strong bias for action and a proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Our ideal candidate will be comfortable with ambiguity, and adept at working with complex marketplace data (scanner, media response) and internally-generated data (shipments, financial reporting). You must possess strong leadership qualities, drive continuous improvement, establish best practices, and build strong partnerships across the organization.
Requirements
- 10+ years relevant experience (consumer tech, consumer electronics, or CPG industries preferred),
- Demonstrated history of business impact through data ecosystem development, data engineering, or Development/Operations (DevOps) organization leadership,
- Data modeling & harmonization experience, including with vendors with varying product/timing hierarchies,

- Develop and operate the Consumer BI ecosystem on the corporate lakehouse platform (e.g., PowerBI, Databricks), enabling scalable self-service by analysts and business users,
- Enable integration of AI into business reporting and underlying analysis, in order to build early warning systems and to identify underlying business trends worthy of future study,
