Director, Data Analytics & Business Intelligence

About the Position The Director, Data Analytics & Business Intelligence is a hands-on leader who owns the enterprise analytics and reporting function at FiscalNote. This is a player/coach role: you will personally build the models, pipelines, and dashboards that power decision-making across the company while also guiding a small, high-impact team. You work closely with our SLT and with product, engineering, sales, finance, and customer success to identify KPIs, surface insights before they're asked for, and deliver actionable analytics that improve operational efficiency, customer experience, and financial performance. The right person doesn't wait for direction — they see the gaps, understand the stakes, and build the solution. About the Team The Business Intelligence team sits at the intersection of data, technology, and strategy at FiscalNote. We build and maintain the systems, models, and reporting infrastructure that enable the entire business to operate with clarity and confidence. Our work connects every function — from sales to finance to customer success — ensuring that the right data reaches the right people at the right time to drive informed decisions. Our core mission is to understand the business and impact decision-making across all departments through the use of data. About You You are a builder first. You don't need a requirements doc to know what the business needs — you've already spotted the gap, formed a hypothesis, and started sketching the model. You're equally comfortable writing complex SQL in Snowflake, building a dbt model from scratch, and presenting a board-level dashboard to the CFO. You've spent years working with Salesforce data and know its quirks, relationships, and edge cases well enough to build reliable models without hand-holding. You lead with craft and credibility: your team trusts you because you can do the work yourself, and your stakeholders trust you because you consistently deliver insights that actually change decisions. You're energized by ambiguity, allergic to stale data, and relentless about getting things right. #LI-HR1 Excited about this role, but don't meet 100% of the expected qualifications listed above?
