[Hiring] Director, Data & Technology @Intercept

Role Description

We’re looking for a Director, Data & Technology. The Director, Data & Technology leads two pods at Intercept:

• The Platforms pod builds and runs InterceptOS, the internal platform our teams work in, and PartnerOS, the client-facing side of that platform.
• The Data & Analytics pod produces the insights, data assets, and context that inform our strategies and campaigns.

You own the roadmap, the delivery, and the people in both. The second half of this job is building our data capability. Your job is to build understanding of our clients' audiences by:

• Finding and acquiring new data assets.
• Deciding what we can responsibly do with them.
• Turning them into intelligence our strategy and creative teams work from.

You report to the CTO and present the state of both pods and the data roadmap to the executive leadership team.

Responsibilities

• Lead the Platforms pod: Own the roadmap, delivery, and reliability of InterceptOS and PartnerOS.
• Lead the Data & Analytics pod: Own the insights, data assets, and context that inform our strategies and campaigns.
• Make PartnerOS something clients choose to use: Work directly with clients and account teams to understand their needs.
• Acquire new data assets: Identify, evaluate, and bring in new first-party and third-party data sources.
• Build out the data offering: Turn raw data assets into insights and context for our teams.
• Own data governance and privacy: Set how we collect, store, use, and retain audience data.
• Set the technical direction: Make architecture and build-versus-buy calls for InterceptOS, PartnerOS, and the data stack.
• Hire and grow both pods: Own recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and development for Platforms and Data & Analytics.
• Report to the executive leadership team: Provide portfolio and progress updates across both pods and the data roadmap.

What Success Looks Like

• By 90 days: Understand both pods, the current state of InterceptOS and PartnerOS, and the data assets we hold.
• PartnerOS adoption grows: Clients use the platform regularly, and usage increases over time.
• InterceptOS reduces manual effort: The internal platform measurably reduces manual work for delivery teams.
• New data assets are live and defensible: Data sources brought in are in production and accurate.
• Data informs client work: Strategies reference insights produced by the Data & Analytics pod.
• Governance withstands client review: Documentation of data sourcing and usage passes audits.
• Delivery is predictable: Both pods meet committed dates and raise risks early with mitigation plans.

Qualifications

• Six or more years in data and technology roles, with at least three years leading teams.
• Experience owning a platform or product end to end.
• A hands-on data background covering pipelines, warehousing, data modeling, and SQL.
• Experience sourcing or licensing third-party data.
• Working knowledge of privacy and data governance in a marketing context.
• Commercial judgment: Ability to build a business case for a data investment.
• B2B marketing or martech domain knowledge.
• Clear communication with non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable working fully remote across a distributed team.
