About the Role
This position serves as the primary steward of data quality and governance, ensuring accurate, well-structured, and trusted data across institutional systems. You will partner with department leaders to translate reporting needs into reusable dashboards and data structures while establishing best practices for data management.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary steward of data quality and governance across institutional systems, identifying and resolving inconsistent definitions, duplicated metrics, and fragmented data sources.
- Own the day-to-day relationship with the Dexibit business intelligence platform, ensuring the data feeding it is accurate, well-structured, and trusted by end users.
- Design and manage a centralized data lake architecture to consolidate institutional data.
- Partner with department leaders to understand their reporting and analytics needs and translate those into consistent, reusable dashboards and data structures.
- Build and maintain institutional KPI reporting, including Board metrics, in partnership with the Chief Operating Officer.
- Support evaluation and integration of visitor and guest data sources, including the guest ticketing/CRM stack.
- Establish documented data definitions and stewardship practices for top institutional metrics (attendance, membership, revenue, visitation, program participation).
- Identify opportunities to reduce manual, spreadsheet-based reporting in favor of governed, repeatable analytics processes.
- Act as a proactive analytics business partner to every department, following the ITBP service model rather than functioning as a reactive request queue.
- Escalate significant data quality, integration, or system-fragmentation issues to Technology leadership with recommended remediation.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (data analytics, information systems, statistics, business, or related discipline), or equivalent professional experience.
- 3-5+ years of experience in data analysis, business intelligence, or data management, ideally including experience untangling fragmented or inconsistent data environments.
- Experience with BI/visualization platforms (e.g., Dexibit, Tableau, Power BI, Looker) and relational data concepts; direct experience with Dexibit is a plus but not required.
- Nonprofit, cultural institution, hospitality, or attractions-industry experience is a plus, particularly with visitation, ticketing, or membership data.
