Job Summary:

Are you a strategic leader who sees beyond dashboards and reports to the real business growth hidden within data?

We are seeking a Director of Data Analytics and Strategy to own our enterprise analytics ecosystem, performance insights, forecasting models, and data-driven decision systems. In this high-impact leadership role, your success won't be measured by the number of charts you produce, but by the clarity of the decisions you enable, the speed of action you catalyze, and the measurable improvement you bring to revenue, retention, and publication health across North America.

If you thrive at the intersection of deep analytical rigor, commercial judgment, and operational leadership, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Build and lead BVM’s overarching data strategy, governance, and tech ecosystem—ensuring data platforms, reporting tools, and integrations are trusted, accurate, scalable, and consistently defined.
• Uncover core drivers of revenue, growth, retention, and publication health, translating complex data into actionable strategies, executive scorecards, and real-time decision support.
• Build predictive models to evaluate market density, customer behavior, and expansion opportunities across thousands of local communities, optimizing long-term business planning.
• Collaborate directly with Sales, Marketing, Operations, Finance, and Product leadership to define key metrics, eliminate performance gaps, and drive revenue growth.
• Establish attribution models, consistent KPIs, and a disciplined test-and-learn program to rigorously evaluate strategic initiatives, sales campaigns, and operational changes.
• Build, mentor, and direct a high-performing analytics team while cultivating an organizational culture that uses data to clarify priorities, challenge assumptions, and sharpen execution.
