Director, Strategic Projects-Enterprise Insights and Analytics - Open to Remote

What You Need To Know

Overview

As SGWS transitions from the disparate and local solutions to enterprise class, standardized data and analytics, the need to evaluate and rationalize local solutions will continue and the iterative effort to migrate users to

established standards will require significant knowledge of the business and BI technologies. It is critical for Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits (SGWS) to establish expertise around these transformational initiatives to work with

the sites and markets and collaborate with them to migrate them to established standards; this requires a strong business project manager who understands the W&S business and BI technologies to work with the sites and functional owners

to review current state and develop and implement future state solutions.

The EIA director of strategic projects will be responsible for leveraging their knowledge and experience to understand current state and solutions, collaborate with the sites, ETP, DMG, and functional owners to establish a set of

enterprise standards and BI best practices and migrate the sites to these standards. In addition, the business project manager will work within EIA to identify optimal analytics and BI solutions for business users, suppliers, and

retailers. Strong experience in rolling out enterprise reports, and governance, conducting gap analysis, and identifying alternate solutions is highly desired. The role requires very strong collaboration and communication skills and

the ability to work across multiple groups and functions. Must have strong BI experience with a passion for the wine and spirits category.
