Senior Manager Analytics

Senior Manager, Data Analytics | Maryland (Hybrid, 2 days onsite per week)

Up to $200,000 base salary + 10% annual bonus

Your chance to build and lead a data team that actually shapes the business.

Imagine walking into a role where leadership already believes in data, the momentum is real, and your work is felt across the business within weeks, not years. Our client is a well-known consumer brand with a national footprint, a period of renewed commercial growth, and the autonomy of running its own P&L. Now they need a data leader to take the team to the next level.

The opportunity

You’ll lead a talented 5-person team spanning data engineering, analytics and senior analysts, and become the go-to data partner for senior leadership. You’ll have a genuine seat at the table, influencing commercial, financial, operational and customer decisions. This is a player-coach role (roughly two-thirds leadership, one-third hands-on), so you’ll keep your hands in the data while growing the people around you.

What you’ll own

• Partnering with senior leaders to turn business priorities into a clear, high-impact data and analytics agenda
• Coaching and developing a multi-functional team, building capability and clear ownership
• Setting the roadmap and prioritizing by business impact (with the backing to say “not now”)
• Turning ambiguous questions into sharp analysis and recommendations leaders act on
• Modernizing core data products and relaunching reporting for frontline teams
• Driving the rollout of predictive modeling and AI-enabled tools
• Raising data fluency across the business so decisions are tested with evidence

Why you’ll love it

• Real influence: you’ll be the primary data voice for senior leadership
• A modern cloud data stack and an AI-forward culture that encourages experimentation
• The best of both worlds: the autonomy of a business unit with the resources of a larger enterprise data organization
• A business on an upward trajectory, with visible impact from your work
• Hybrid flexibility, with just two days a week onsite
• Competitive package: up to $200K base plus a 10% annual bonus

What you’ll bring

• 8+ years in data analytics, BI, data science or similar, including people management (flexible at 6-7 years for strong, directly relevant experience)
• A track record of owning broad analytics scope and leading mixed technical teams
• Strong business acumen and the confidence to challenge stakeholders constructively
• Advanced SQL and experience with modern BI tools (Looker or similar)
• Technical fluency across data quality, transformation and reporting
• Experience using AI tools in analytical work, with appropriate review and validation
• Excellent communication and project-management skills, and comfort working with demanding stakeholders

Nice to have

• Background in retail, CPG, ecommerce, subscription or another data-rich consumer business
• Experience supporting a business unit within a wider enterprise data organization
• Familiarity with Snowflake, dbt and Python
• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative, technical or business discipline, or equivalent experience
