Job Description

We are Progress (Nasdaq: PRGS) - the trusted provider of software that enables our customers to develop, deploy and manage responsible, AI-powered applications and experiences with agility and ease.

We're proud to have a diverse, global team where we value the individual and enrich our culture by considering varied perspectives because we believe people power progress. Join us as a Director, Data and Analytics and help us do what we do best: propelling business forward. This will be a remote role working out of your home office in the United States.

In this role, you will:

Lead the transformation of our enterprise data environment by migrating from our legacy SQL Server data warehouse to a modern data platform, positioning the company for scale, performance, and data trust.
Drive the transition from Tableau Server to Power BI as our standard visualization and analytics layer, including the rationalization of legacy dashboards and adoption of a governed semantic layer.
Ensure the successful delivery and long-term integration of the ARR & Renewal Pool Data Product, working closely with our third party partner to align architecture, prevent rework, enable trust, and increase business adoption.
Own and evolve our data engineering, analytics engineering, and BI/reporting teams, ensuring the right structure, roles, and workflows to balance day to day support and strategic execution.
Implement a predictable data product operating model, including intake, prioritization, SLAs, ceremonies, and communication rhythms that create transparency and confidence in delivery.
Partner closely with Finance, Sales Operations, Customer Success, Product, and IT to ensure data quality, availability, and adoption across the business.
Establish foundational data governance, quality management, and lifecycle practices, ensuring our data is accurate, secure, and trusted.
Communicate clearly and consistently with executives - setting expectations, sequencing work, highlighting trade offs, and providing status visibility throughout the modernization journey.

Your background:

10+ years in Data & Analytics, including experience leading a data platform modernization initiative in a complex enterprise environment.
Proven success driving adoption of Power BI or a similar enterprise visualization platform, with an emphasis on Self Service rather than Dashboard curation, at scale.
Strong familiarity with modern Data Platform concepts, semantic modeling, and analytics platform architecture, with the ability to challenge technical assumptions and guide design decisions.
Experience building or maturing data platforms, governance practices, semantic models, AI enabled analytics and data product delivery frameworks.
Track record of leading data engineering, analytics engineering, and BI/reporting teams, ideally in a distributed or global model.
Demonstrated ability to partner with GTM, Finance, IT, and Executive leadership to align priorities and drive adoption.

Your soft skills:

Product Mindset: You deliver outcomes, not artifacts - focusing on clarity, usability, adoption, and business value.
Expectation Setter: You communicate early, directly, and clearly, especially around timelines, trade offs, and priorities.
Influential Leader: You earn trust, challenge assumptions, and can say "no" in a way that leads to alignment, not friction.
Calm in Ambiguity: You bring structure to complex environments and create clarity in moments of change.
Business Savvy Storyteller: You translate complex data and technical concepts into simple, actionable business language.
Team Developer: You coach, align, and elevate talent - building a predictable, high trust, high ownership operating model.
