Director, Data Solutions & Engineering

Role Overview

Statara is seeking a Data Solutions & Engineering leader to guide the design and evolution of client-facing data and analytics solutions while serving as the department head for Data Products & Engineering. This dual mandate combines solution architecture with organizational leadership, bridging business needs with Statara’s Data, Insights, and Activation capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Department Leadership: Data Products & Engineering

• Serve as the head of the Data Products & Engineering department, setting vision, priorities, and technical direction
• Lead, manage, and develop team members, including coaching, mentorship, performance oversight, and capacity planning
• Own the operational health of Statara’s data infrastructure, including pipeline reliability, platform stability, and data product quality
• Drive continued evolution of Snowflake-based architecture and modern data workflows across the organization
• Align engineering and data product priorities with commercial objectives and the broader product roadmap

• Solution Architecture & Strategy

• Lead the technical shaping of client solutions, from initial concept or test through high-level design and delivery planning
• Translate business objectives into clear data, analytics, and activation approaches that align with Statara’s capabilities
• Serve as a key technical voice on complex or novel solution designs
• Identify opportunities to standardize and scale solutions across clients and use cases

• Client & Pre-Sales Support

• Partner with Business Development to scope opportunities, clarify technical requirements, and assess feasibility
• Participate in client conversations as a technical resource, translating capabilities into clear business value
• Support the development of technical demonstrations, solution walkthroughs, and related materials for key opportunities

• Feasibility & Validation

• Guide data and analytical validation efforts to confirm solution viability, scalability, and expected outcomes
• Review data structures, assumptions, and analytical outputs to ensure technical soundness
• Support proof points (e.g., pilots, prototypes, demonstrations) where they strengthen solution confidence

• Cross-Functional Alignment

• Collaborate with Product, Data Science, and Engineering to align solution designs with platform capabilities and delivery realities
• Surface risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early to maintain momentum and clarity
• Bridge commercial intent and technical execution across teams

Requirements

• Demonstrated technical depth and sound judgment—earned through real exposure to complex problems

• Snowflake working experience required. You should have hands-on working knowledge of Snowflake. You don’t need to be a certified architect, but you need to be able to contribute to technical decisions confidently in a Snowflake-centric environment

• Experience in solutions engineering, data engineering, analytics, data products, or a related technical role

• Familiarity with data integration, pipelines, data modeling, and solution architecture concepts

• Experience with modern cloud data platforms and analytics workflows; AWS environment experience is a plus, as is Alteryx

• Ability to translate business needs into technical requirements and executable solution plans

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including comfort working with complex datasets

• Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

• Team leadership experience required—whether through direct management, tech-lead roles, or running cross-functional workstreams. Formal people-management experience is preferred but not the only path

• Experience working across Sales, Product, Engineering, or analytics functions is a strong plus

Plus

• Background in data onboarding, identity resolution, audience strategy, martech/adtech, or measurement partnerships

• Experience in activation, programmatic, or audience deployment
