The Role 

Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, the Senior Director - Data will lead a multidisciplinary data organization that supports internal and in-product needs across Data infrastructure, Analytics and Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

This team supports internal analytics needs across marketing, customer success and product, and will also build out the infrastructure to support our product features based on data including customer reports, insights and AI driven features.

This is a transformative role - leading the team from a strong analytics expertise to expand into ML and product. The ideal candidate will have deep experience in one or more of the data disciplines, be fluent in the others and lean into the business to understand our product and how our customers use it. The key priorities of this role for 2025 are:

3. Evangelize and lead Data and specifically AI across the company. Provide thought leadership on where AI can be applied to our product and lead our AI governance efforts.

Trust is an important value for us and critical to our mission to help private practice thrive - this role includes stewardship of that trust in how we gather, secure and use customer and application data. Representing the customer in how we use, store and access data is table stakes for this role.
