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 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.

The ideal candidate will come to our Watertown office twice a week for white‑boarding sessions, take occasional meetings on a walk along the river trails, and engage with our coffee culture.
