• A strategic mindset with a demonstrated ability to translate complex business needs into a clear and compelling product vision.
• Strong commercial acumen and a relentless focus on the customer.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to articulate your vision and influence stakeholders at all levels, from engineers to executives.
• Deep expertise in the Business Intelligence, analytics, or enterprise reporting space.
• Hands‑on experience with at least one major BI platform, such as Microsoft Power BI (including the Fabric framework), SAP Analytics Cloud, or Oracle Analytics Cloud.
• A proven track record of leading and developing high‑performing product management teams.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with narrative reporting, disclosure management, or financial reporting tools (e.g., Workiva, Oracle EPM).
• Experience in designing and delivering products with a focus on localization and accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG).
• A background in dimensional modeling or experience with OLAP technologies.

This is a unique opportunity to take on a high‑impact leadership role at a pivotal moment in our journey. If you are a passionate, customer‑focused product leader with a deep understanding of the enterprise BI landscape, we would love to hear from you.
