By combining human instinct with the speed and efficiency of AI, Sprinklr helps brands earn trust and loyalty through personalized, seamless, and efficient customer interactions.

Today, 1,900+ enterprises and 60% of the Fortune 100 rely on Sprinklr to help them deliver consistent, trusted customer experiences worldwide.

We focus on our mission: Sprinklr was founded in 2009 to solve a big problem: growing enterprise complexity that separated brands from their customers. Our vision was clear: to unify fragmented teams, tools and data — helping large organizations build deeper, more meaningful connections with the people they serve. Today, Sprinklr has a unified, AI-native platform for four product suites: Sprinklr Service, Sprinklr Social, Sprinklr Marketing, and Sprinklr Insights. Sprinklr is here to do three things: Lead a new category of enterprise software that we call Unified-CXM. Empower companies to deliver next generation, unified engagement journeys that reimagine the customer experience. Create a culture of customer obsession, with trust, teamwork, and accountability. We believe in our product: Customers who value exceptional customer experiences have what they need on our single unified platform, built with an operating system approach on a single codebase. That means that everything — and everyone — can work together to service, respond, sell, and market to customers on the channels they prefer. While Unified Customer Experience Management (Unified-CXM) as a category is just getting started, we are well on our way to creating a no-compromise, unified approach to better customer experiences for the world’s leading enterprise brands.

• Predictive, Prescriptive, and Generative Analytics: Advance BI beyond historical reporting through forecasting, anomaly detection, risk scoring, next‑best‑action recommendations, natural‑language querying, AI copilots, and automated insights that improve customer and business outcomes.
• Data Platform, Architecture, and Governance: Oversee scalable and reliable data architecture, warehouses, models, semantic layers, metadata, and ETL/ELT pipelines. Establish service levels, documentation, governance, quality, security, and compliance standards that support analytics, AI, machine learning, and retrieval‑based use cases.
• Analytics and Reporting: Deliver executive dashboards, enterprise KPIs, self‑service analytics, and near‑real‑time insights built on trusted data models. Drive adoption and ensure analytics products improve decision‑making across functions.
• Team Leadership: Hire, lead, and mentor a global team of BI engineers, data engineers, analysts, and data scientists. Set clear goals, build technical and AI capabilities, and support career growth.
• Technology and Operational Excellence: Own the BI technology stack, vendor strategy, modernization roadmap, budget, and resource planning. Improve delivery speed, platform performance, and reporting quality through agile practices, automation, and disciplined operating processes.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive experience in business intelligence, data engineering, or enterprise data management, including at least five years leading technical teams and delivering scalable BI and analytics solutions in a high‑growth, global software or SaaS environment.
• Strong expertise in modern enterprise data platforms, including Snowflake, Power BI and/or Tableau, SQL, data warehousing, ETL/ELT, and cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure, with the ability to guide architecture and technical decisions.
• Working knowledge of enterprise applications (ERP, CRM, HCM) and their data models, such as Salesforce, Workday and NetSuite.
• Experience establishing data governance and quality frameworks and delivering measurable results through AI‑enabled automation, predictive analytics, or productivity improvements.
• Experience managing complex, multi‑phase BI programs, competing priorities and budgets in fast‑moving, sometimes ambiguous environments.
