Insights Architect, Data & AI

Intuitive•Sunnyvale, CA

About The Position

Intuitive is seeking an experienced Insights Architect, Data & AI to shape and deliver scalable data, analytics, and AI capabilities that improve business decisions across operations. The initial focus is Service Supply Chain, with the opportunity to apply product and architecture leadership across other business domains over time. The role connects business processes, enterprise applications, data, analytics, and AI, requiring technical depth, business curiosity, and product thinking. The architect partners with stakeholders to understand workflows, identify important decisions and problems, and translate them into reusable data products and technical solutions. Working across SAP and o9 business platforms and Snowflake as a core enterprise data platform, the role helps establish trusted enterprise data, common metrics and KPIs, semantic models, and governed data products for self-service insights, advanced analytics, data science, and AI-assisted decision support. The architect is expected to bring structure to ambiguity, recognize patterns across use cases, and influence teams to build durable capabilities rather than isolated solutions.

Requirements

At least 8 years of relevant experience in data and analytics architecture, data products, data warehousing, business intelligence, enterprise applications, or related disciplines.
Demonstrated ability to learn complex business domains and translate business problems into scalable technical solutions and measurable outcomes.
Proven experience designing and delivering data and analytics products from problem definition through implementation and adoption.
Strong understanding of data architecture, data modeling, ETL/ELT, integration patterns, data quality, lineage, governance, and enterprise data warehousing.
Hands-on proficiency with SQL and modern cloud data platforms such as Snowflake or comparable technologies.
Experience developing metrics, KPIs, dimensional models, and semantic or business-facing data models.
Ability to identify patterns across business problems and design reusable capabilities rather than one-time solutions.
Demonstrated success working across business, product, application, architecture, data engineering, analytics, and data science teams.
Strong analytical judgment and ability to navigate ambiguity independently, evaluate tradeoffs, and determine a path forward.
Ability to lead technical and business conversations, influence without authority, and build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to explain complex topics to different audiences.
