Role Overview

The Products Data Lead is the trusted-data and insight engine of the product organization and serves as the owner of product master data “lighthouse” attributes and of the calculation methodology behind the metrics that underpin our product strategy. The role has a sequenced mandate: 1. Establish a single, governed source of product master data including a master hierarchy, attributes, contract data, as core inputs while fixing the methodology behind core product metrics (product profitability & profitability drivers, end-market penetration, product cross referencing, pricing); 2. Translate that foundation into a redefined set of Product KPIs aligned to new ELT strategy and value proposition work that redirect product leadership toward where value actually is, rather than reporting the activity metrics of the past. 3. Creation of a “fact pack” that supports product strategy. The analyses that compose the fact pack should connect to the true north KPIs identified through step 2 This position will work upstream the ops-data analytics team, reporting to the VP of Operation Transformation, and partnering closely with the Product GMs to ensure all product data initiatives are measurable and traceable to North Star EBITDA and drive a change from backward-looking reporting to forward-looking transparency and accountability. The scope of this role is expected to expand to the product master data lighthouse as the foundation matures and has a path to leading the full data team if candidate performs well.

Responsibilities

• Establish a single, governed source of product master data including a master hierarchy, attributes, contract data, as core inputs while fixing the methodology behind core product metrics (product profitability & profitability drivers, end-market penetration, product cross referencing, pricing).
• Translate that foundation into a redefined set of Product KPIs aligned to new ELT strategy and value proposition work that redirect product leadership toward where value actually is, rather than reporting the activity metrics of the past.
• Creation of a “fact pack” that supports product strategy. The analyses that compose the fact pack should connect to the true north KPIs identified through step 2.
• Ensure all product data initiatives are measurable and traceable to North Star EBITDA and drive a change from backward-looking reporting to forward-looking transparency and accountability.
• Work upstream the ops-data analytics team, reporting to the VP of Operation Transformation, and partnering closely with the Product GMs to ensure all product data initiatives are measurable and traceable to North Star EBITDA and drive a change from backward-looking reporting to forward-looking transparency and accountability.

Ownership

• Product master data methodology and governance: hierarchy logic, attributes – and how that interfaces with finance, operations, commercial, and sourcing.
• Calculation, methodology, and source of truth for derived product metrics (share-of-wallet, penetration, potential/addressable value).
• Design of Product KPIs including what is measured, how it is defined, and how it drives focus and accountability.
• Initiative tracking model: tracking commercial transformation initiatives and linking each to its EBITDA impact.
• Recommends: Analyses and methodologies to systematically identify growth, margin-up, and portfolio optimization opportunities.
• Opportunities to utilize AI to streamline data tracing and enable quicker insights, inclusive of predictive analytics.
• Product data governance, especially for sunsetting SKUs and launching new products.

Qualifications

• Advanced degree in a quantitative discipline (statistics, data science, economics, engineering, or similar) or equivalent experience.
• 5-10+ years in commercial/sales analytics, data science, or master data management — distribution, healthcare, or med-surg strongly preferred.
• Working command of master data management, with a clear grasp of the difference between master, reference, and derived data (share-of-wallet and penetration are computed methodologies, not tables).
• Demonstrated ability to define a calculation methodology and defend it to both Finance and commercial leaders.
• Strong SQL and analytics tooling; fluency with the modern data stack; PowerBI for last-mile reporting.
• The judgment to design KPIs that change behavior rather than simply report it — technical depth paired with commercial acumen.
• Ability to lead and influence upstream of an analyst team without direct authority, across commercial, ops-data, IT, and Finance.
• Understanding of healthcare procurement, GPO/IDN dynamics, and med-surg distribution economics preferred; familiarity with third-party healthcare market data (e.g., Definitive Healthcare) a plus.
