We’re seeking a Director, Intelligent Spend Management & Insights Products to lead the data product and data science team that power enterprise spend management and predictive insights decisioning—covering domains such as T&E, procurement, invoice and payments. You will own the end to end vision for reporting, analytics, and data science embedded in our SaaS products, building scalable data capabilities and high impact, customer facing insights that drive measurable savings, compliance, traveler experience and merchant insights across a global enterprise customer base.

 

This role blends product leadership with advanced analytics: you’ll guide roadmaps, mentor multi disciplinary teams (product analysts, data scientists, analytics engineers/BI developers), and partner with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Finance, and Sales to turn data into outcomes.

 

As a Director, Intelligent Spend Management & Insights Products (SaaS), you will

• Set the platform development roadmap for enterprise reporting, self service analytics, and insight products embedded in our SaaS platform, aligned to OKRs and customer outcomes
• Lead & grow high performing teams spanning product analytics, data science, and BI/analytics engineering; establish clear role expectations, coaching rhythms, and succession plans
• Build & scale the data/analytics stack: semantic metrics layer, governed datasets, event instrumentation/telemetry, experimentation frameworks, and analytics observability; drive reliability, performance, and cost efficiency at scale
• Deliver customer facing and internal stakeholder insights (dashboards, anomaly alerts, executive scorecards) and internal decision tools that quantify value (savings, leakage, compliance, adoption, ROI)
• Advance data science use cases across forecasting, optimization, anomaly/fraud/leakage detection, causal inference, and personalization; operationalize models with robust monitoring and A/B testing
• Institutionalize data governance (quality, lineage, privacy/security) and champion Responsible AI; partner with Security/Compliance on controls (e.g., SOC 2, GDPR/CCPA)
• Own portfolio execution—from discovery and design to GA and iteration—using evidence based prioritization, strong program management, and crisp executive communication with internal stakeholders, leaders and clients
• Partner across the business to support commercial motions (value narratives, demos, analytics SLAs) and customer outcomes (adoption playbooks, benchmarks, and health KPIs)
• Hire, grow, and mentor team members to effectively and efficiently build, deploy and scale data and insights products

 

About you

• Extensive experience leading analytics/insights organizations with direct management of product team members and data science practitioners in a SaaS or data rich product context
• Proven track record building and scaling enterprise reporting, analytics, and insights platforms/products used by external customers. Experience with Databricks, Snowflake, Power BI, Thoughtspot or Sigma preferred
• Domain experience in corporate travel or spend management (e.g., T&E, procurement/AP, payments) or adjacent B2B data products
• Deep fluency with cloud data warehousing, semantic/metrics layers, BI tooling, and experimentation; solid grasp of ML lifecycle and MLOps best practices
• Strong product sense and storytelling; ability to translate complex analytics into simple narratives and actions for executives and customers
• Excellence in stakeholder management, roadmap prioritization, and change leadership across matrixed, global organizations
• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field or equivalent experience; advanced degree a plus
