VP, Reasoning Systems
Position Overview
Dataiku is the Platform for AI Success, the enterprise orchestration layer for building, deploying, and governing AI. The VP of Reasoning Systems will scale this business unit based on newly released products.
Key Responsibilities
Define the category
- Own Dataiku's Reasoning Systems vision, positioning, and narrative — internally and with customers, analysts, and the market.
- Set vertical priorities (Manufacturing Operations, Supply Chain, Financial Risk first) and the framework for expanding to new domains.
- Be the external face of the category: executive briefings, keynotes, analyst engagements.
Lead the Go-To-Market
- Design the pilot-to-system commercial model: time-boxed pilots with upfront conversion criteria tied to production pricing.
- Define the buyer profile (CIO, COO, Domain Leaders), funding sources, sales plays, and qualification criteria. Launch with existing customers; expand once repeatability is proven.
Build the Delivery Model
- Define the engagement model combining productized orchestration, governance, and human-in-the-loop control with structured services generating repeatable, scalable assets, not bespoke consulting. Leverage capacity from our vast pool of engineering and services talent.
Drive the Product Roadmap
- Partner Product and Engineering to deliver the Reasoning Systems product layer: process orchestration, activity controls, evaluation frameworks, governance tooling, and human-in-the-loop oversight.
Manage and grow the Team
- Lead a team of 10+ Industry Solutions leaders and AI Solutions Consultants — seasoned domain experts across the target verticals.
- Set team structure, staffing plans, and skill roadmap aligned to strategic priorities. Create the conditions for each person to do their best work.
- Build a product management mindset across the team: every engagement should produce something reusable.
Engage at the Executive level
- Lead key customer executives conversations to drive opportunities and high impact transformation delivery.
- Engage with market events to forge awareness and thought leadership on reasoning systems.
Own the Business
- Own Reasoning Systems revenue, costs and growth targets. Reasoning Systems is a global multi-billion opportunity in enterprise transformation, and you have the task to create a new pillar of the company business.
Qualifications
- 20+ years at the intersection of business process transformation and enterprise technology — you understand what real operational AI deployment looks like for the largest, most demanding companies in the world.
- You have built and scaled a new business, product line, or category at a technology company. You know how to go from zero to repeatability.
- You have led a consulting or solutions delivery activity and understand the discipline required to balance services delivery with product scalability.
- You have driven software product roadmaps and understand what it takes to ship ambitious, multi-stakeholder technology programs.
- Outstanding communicator — able to shape and deliver compelling narratives to technical and business audiences alike.
Compensation
The final compensation package for this role will be determined during the interview process and is based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, geographic location, internal equity, education, skill set, experience and training. Eligible roles may also be entitled to receive commission or other variable compensation through Dataiku's incentive compensation program.
Dataiku also offers comprehensive benefits, including stock options, medical, dental, and vision plans, flexible spending accounts, pre-tax commuter benefits, a 401k company match, paid vacations and sick leave, paid parental leave, employer paid disability coverage, and additional health and wellbeing perks and benefits.
