Job summary

Koch’s LIFT team in Wichita seeks a seasoned data/AI strategist to turn fragmented data into trusted, decision-ready intelligence and to move experimentation to measurable value.

You will translate needs into a prioritized roadmap, partner with Koch Tech and JLL Tech, and guide Databricks and BI platforms to deliver high-impact pilots. This role shapes ownership, governance, and responsible AI across core data domains.

Qualifications

• Experience leading data/analytics strategy and turning business problems into prioritized, value-based roadmaps.
• Experience working in a modern data platform (Databricks or equivalent).
• Experience leveraging Power BI, Tableau, or similar business intelligence tools.
• Experience with data architecture concepts including data lakes, data warehouses, ETL/ELT, APIs, and modern data integration patterns.
• Experience translating between business leaders and technical teams across organizational boundaries, without formal authority.

Responsibilities

• Translate service-line needs into a prioritized data and AI roadmap grounded in economic thinking — value first, technology as the enabler, not the starting point
• Partner with Transaction Management, Lease Administration, Occupancy Planning & Management, Facilities Management, Experience Services, Capital and Finance leaders to frame functional and high-level technical requirements and set realistic expectations
• Serve as the business-side owner of prioritization across service-line demand and Koch Tech / JLL Tech capacity to sequence, negotiate, and make trade-offs explicit against a single, visible intake and backlog
• Set the strategy and prioritization for LIFT’s Databricks data lake and analytics/BI direction, while platform build and administration transition to Koch Tech
• Build on current experimentation and emerging points of view, separating useful AI opportunities from hype and moving the highest-value, feasible use cases into controlled pilots
• Coordinate delivery through technical resources in Koch Tech and JLL Tech for high-impact pipelines and integrations
• Leverage LIFT’s core data domains (property information, financials, occupancy/utilization, operations, and HR-adjacent data) as assets to grow and mature to match business demand
• Define ownership, quality standards, source-of-truth decisions, and responsible AI controls
• Effectively partner with stakeholders to close material gaps in domains LIFT depends on but does not fully own.
