Head of Product Data & Analytics

This is a People Leader role. The incumbent must be based in Atlanta, GA and work a hybrid work schedule

Digital products play a central role in how we create value for customers, support the teams who serve them, and shape the consumer experience. Our product organization brings together small, empowered teams that move with clarity, speed, and purpose, enabling digital to be a meaningful source of advantage across our operating unit.

Our work touches on the experiences that keep the business running, including customer journeys, service delivery, sales workflows, and the systems that connect them. We are raising our standards for product craft and rebuilding the platforms behind these experiences.

About the Role

The Head of Product Data & Analytics leads the data discipline within the Product organization, overseeing the analysts and data scientists embedded in empowered product teams. This leader is responsible for how teams use data to understand behavior, measure progress, experiment confidently, and discover new opportunities.
