ABOUT THE POSITION

As the Senior Manager, Strategic Insights and Analytics
, you will serve as a senior individual contributor and people leader responsible for shaping how the business understands performance, anticipates what’s next, and makes better strategic decisions. This is a player–coach role, with direct ownership of proactive, forward‑looking insights and the Analytics Center of Excellence (CoE), while managing a team of analysts.

You will partner closely with senior leaders across the entire organization to translate complexity into clear, actionable insights. This role requires a strong strategic lens, deep technical fluency, exceptional written communication, systems thinking, and comfort operating in ambiguity. The ideal candidate thrives in a role that blends strategic thinking with hands‑on execution - someone who is energized by both producing sharp insights independently and elevating the work of a team.

The ideal candidate will find value in coming to our Watertown office twice a week for old fashioned white‑boarding sessions, taking the occasional meeting on a walk around the river trails, and of course trying out our cold brew keg!
