Ready to drive your career forward?

Discount Tire is seeking a transformative, people-first leader to serve as the Assistant Vice President of Data Science, BI & Strategic Insights. In this high-impact role within our Enterprise Data Office (E DO), you will drive the "offensive" data strategy for a $10B enterprise.

Your mission is to relentlessly optimize our core business through advanced data science, pioneer new revenue streams via data monetization, and completely modernize our Business Intelligence function. You must be a forward-thinking visionary who anticipates market shifts, incorporating smart technology and AI-driven solutions to keep the organization at the cutting edge. Most importantly, you are a leader who builds deeply collaborative, high-performing teams that empower the entire enterprise to make smarter, faster decisions.

• Expand advanced ML/AI products and solutions to optimize $10B in core business operations (e.g., pricing, supply chain, customer churn).
• Identify, validate, and launch data monetization opportunities to create new revenue streams beyond the core business.
• Research and incorporate forward-thinking "smart technologies" (GenAI, Predictive Analytics, automation) to solve complex business problems proactively.
• Oversee the end-to-end model lifecycle to ensure data science solutions are robust, scalable, and integrated into daily workflows.

• Transform the BI function from a reactive "report factory" into a proactive "insights engine" focused on real-time, diagnostic, and predictive reporting.
• Architect a self-service BI framework and semantic layer, empowering business users across the enterprise to safely build their own data narratives.
• Incorporate augmented analytics and AI-integrated features into dashboards to enable automated anomaly detection and natural language querying.
• Champion a culture of "storytelling over stats," ensuring all BI products are consumer-grade and lead with clear, actionable business recommendations.

• Level up the insights organization to proactively drive intelligence rather than reacting to historical requests.
• Build and lead a robust competitive analysis unit to provide executive leadership with early warning signals on market shifts and competitor strategies.
• Translate complex quantitative findings into compelling, executive-ready narratives that influence the C-suite and Board of Directors.

• Act as the chief evangelist for maturing the organization's data-driven decision-making culture and improving enterprise data literacy.
• Partner with the Head of Data Governance to champion the use of governed, high-quality data assets, ensuring "one version of the truth."
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure ethical AI usage and strict adherence to data privacy standards in all analytical products.

We are looking for a leader who recognizes that algorithms and dashboards don't win-teams do. Your mandate is to operate the insights function as a premier internal service provider.

• People-First Growth: You gain far more professional satisfaction from seeing your team members grow, promote, and succeed than from your own individual accolades.
• Win As a Team: You thrive in a highly collaborative environment, effortlessly breaking down silos to work across all lines of business.
• Customer Service Excellence: You treat internal stakeholders as valued…
