About the Role

We're seeking a strategic, people-focused Manager of Reporting & Analytics to lead our scrum responsible for delivering scalable, reliable, and insightful reporting solutions. This is a high-impact leadership role that sits at the intersection of engineering and business, guiding the development of data and reporting capabilities that empower both internal stakeholders and our global customer base.


You'll shape technical direction, foster team growth, and ensure alignment between engineering initiatives and business priorities. The ideal candidate combines strong leadership experience with a solid understanding of reporting systems, analytics platforms, and database technologies that power large-scale insights.

What You'll Do

Lead and mentor a team of developers/engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement. Define and uphold team standards, promoting technical excellence and professional growth. Oversee the design, development, and delivery of reporting and analytics solutions that meet performance, reliability, and usability goals. Drive improvements in data architecture, pipelines, and reporting frameworks to enhance scalability and efficiency. Champion agile practices, DevOps principles, and CI/CD pipelines to streamline development and delivery. Monitor team KPIs and reporting system metrics to inform continuous improvement. Partner with Product, Data, and Engineering stakeholders to align initiatives with evolving business priorities. Contribute to architectural discussions and solution design, bringing a data-driven perspective.

What You'll Bring

Proven experience managing software development or data engineering teams, ideally focused on reporting, analytics, or data-centric applications. Strong leadership skills with a track record of building and mentoring high-performing teams. Deep understanding of relational databases, query optimization, and performance tuning. Experience with data platforms and pipelines (e.g., Fivetran, Matillion, Snowflake). Familiarity with BI/reporting tools and data visualization best practices. Solid knowledge of backend services and APIs (C#/.NET, Java, or similar), with the ability to guide--not necessarily build--full-stack solutions. Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure) and DevOps practices. Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills. Passion for enabling data-driven decision-making and delivering measurable business outcomes.
