Hajoca Corporation is one of the country’s largest privately-held wholesale distributors of plumbing, heating & cooling, and industrial supplies. Founded in 1858, Hajoca is a company based on the principles of “Service, Integrity, Reliability,” and on relationships of trust and support with teammates, customers, and suppliers. Throughout its history, Hajoca has played an active role in shaping advances in plumbing. However, we attribute our success to two simple truths;

a unique business philosophy and talented people. Hajoca is all about the people, who give us our advantage, and who will guide us successfully into the future.

Hajoca has over 400 locations nationwide, called Profit Centers; and at the foundation of our family of businesses is a National Support Center (NSC) where Centers of Excellence are dedicated to enabling the success of our Profit Centers.

The Data Management team in our National Support Center (NSC) is looking for a Director of Data & Analytics at their Lafayette Hill, PA office. This is a hybrid role, requiring three days in office.

Job Description:

Hajoca Corporation is the largest privately-held wholesale distributor of plumbing, heating & cooling, and industrial supplies in the United States. Our success is rooted in a deeply decentralized operating model: local Profit Centers are empowered to make decisions close to their customers and markets.

We are building an enterprise Data and Analytics function and seeking a Director, Data and Analytics to lead it. This role owns Hajoca's data end to end: the enterprise data warehouse, data engineering and pipelines, governance, quality, analytics, reporting, and the application of AI to that data. The existing data team, including the data warehouse and data engineering, reports into this role from day one.

You will set the vision, build out the team, and stand up the enterprise capabilities that let Hajoca treat data and AI as durable advantages, while respecting and amplifying the local autonomy that defines us.

The function serves multiple business verticals, including our core Plumbing, HVAC, and Specialty businesses, and a broad set of corporate functions including Finance, People Operations, Legal, Vendor Management, and Product and Cost. Finance is the closest early partner: the foundation has to be trustworthy enough that Finance relies on it without keeping a second set of books.

This role reports to the Head of Information Technology, and partners with the broader IT organization on the underlying platform and infrastructure these capabilities run on.

Hajoca needs a single source of truth. Today the same question can return different answers depending on who asks and where they look. The destination is one authoritative data foundation across our core master data domains, product, customer, vendor, profit center, and location, surfaced through one pane of glass that gives every function the same correct answer to the same question.

That foundation has to be three things at once:
Authoritative, so the numbers are right. Usable, so anyone from corporate leadership to a Profit Center Manager can interrogate the data and understand the answer. Trusted, so people actually use it to make decisions. Whether someone pulls a published report or asks an ad-hoc question, they get a correct, understandable answer, regardless of who they are or how they ask.

Getting there is the job. It runs through master data management, common definitions, data quality, and a governance model that holds, paired with analytics and reporting the field will trust. We are looking for someone energized by building that, not just operating it.

Define and execute the multi-year vision, strategy, and operating model for Hajoca's Data and Analytics function.

• Build the data foundation into a driver of better decisions across the business: pricing, inventory and working capital, customer retention, and M&A integration.

Partner with Finance first. Establish the foundation as the trusted basis…
