About The Position

Our client is seeking a Director of Business Intelligence (BI) to lead and modernize enterprise data, analytics, and AI-enabled decisioning. This is the most critical hire for the organization and will play a central role in transforming how data is collected, integrated, governed, and activated across marketing, operations, and finance. The role owns BI strategy end-to-end spanning data architecture, pipeline reliability, dashboarding, and the practical application of AI features while partnering closely with business leaders to ensure insights drive measurable outcomes. The current BI environment is built in Domo, with data flowing from the CRM (Welcome Home) and EHR ecosystem via Domo ETL and API-based integrations. This is a remote role with limited travel (approximately four times per year for 2-3 day quarterly meetings) and attendance at two annual Domo conferences for hands-on training and continued platform mastery.
