Data Director
- DATA DIRECTOR | ClearPath Health Analytics | 2021 - Present - Lead a team of 12 (data engineering, analytics, BI) delivering dashboards and datasets for execs and business teams; improved reporting and decision making across the org. - Drove cloud data platform modernization (Snowflake + dbt + Airflow) and established data standards; reduced time to deliver analytics. - Partner with Product and Finance to define KPIs and build forecasting and performance reporting; supported revenue planning and resource allocation. SENIOR MANAGER, DATA & ANALYTICS | BrightMart Retail | 2017 - 2021 - Managed enterprise BI and self-service reporting for 6 departments, rolling out Tableau and training users to increase adoption. - Implemented data quality checks and governance processes; improved trust in numbers and decreased escalations.
- EDUCATION / CERTS - B.S. Information Systems, Texas State University - AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (2020)
- TOOLS - Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Tableau, SQL, Python (basic), Jira, Confluence
- SELECTED INITIATIVES - Built a customer 360 dataset combining CRM and product usage data for sales and support teams; enabled better segmentation and outreach.
- SUMMARY - Data leader with 9+ years experience building analytics teams, improving data reliability, and partnering with executives to drive outcomes.
Overview
- Add quantified business impact and baseline metrics to leadership bullets.
- Clarify scope: budget, data scale, stakeholders, and decision cadence for exec reporting.
- Strengthen technical depth and ownership (architecture, governance model, SLAs) with specifics.
Suggestions
Rewrite to quantify outcomes and specify which exec decisions improved. Example: "Lead 12-person data org (6 DE, 4 analysts, 2 BI) supporting 150+ weekly active dashboard users; cut exec reporting cycle time from 5 days to 1 day and increased forecast accuracy by 8%."
The current bullet signals leadership but does not prove business value. Directors are evaluated on measurable improvements in cycle time, adoption, accuracy, and revenue/cost outcomes.

"Lead a team of 12 (data engineering, analytics, BI) delivering dashboards and datasets for execs and business teams; improved reporting and decision making across the org."
Replace "reduced time" with a specific metric and add data volume + reliability targets. Example: "Modernized to Snowflake/dbt/Airflow; reduced time-to-first-dashboard from 6 weeks to 2 weeks; achieved 99.5% pipeline SLA across 120+ models."
Platform modernization is a strong director-level story, but the impact is vague. Naming SLAs, number of models/pipelines, and delivery cycle times makes the scope credible.

"Drove cloud data platform modernization (Snowflake + dbt + Airflow) and established data standards; reduced time to deliver analytics."
Add KPI ownership and forecasting method/results. Example: "Defined North Star and 18 tier-2 KPIs with Product/Finance; built driver-based forecast in Python/SQL; improved monthly revenue forecast MAPE from 14% to 9% and standardized metrics in a governed semantic layer."
Partnership with Finance/Product is relevant, but the bullet needs the artifacts (KPI set, semantic layer, model type) and measurable planning impact (accuracy, cycle time, variance).
Referenced resume text
"Partner with Product and Finance to define KPIs and build forecasting and performance reporting; supported revenue planning and resource allocation."
Specify governance framework, tooling, and before/after incident volume. Example: "Implemented Great Expectations tests + data contracts; established data council and tiered certification; reduced Sev-1 data incidents from 10/mo to 2/mo and cut ad-hoc reconciliation requests by 30%."
"Improved trust" is subjective. Data Directors are expected to set governance mechanisms and demonstrate reliability improvements via incident rates, test coverage, or reconciliation time.
Referenced resume text
"Implemented data quality checks and governance processes; improved trust in numbers and decreased escalations."
Quantify adoption and business outcomes from Customer 360; include consumers and refresh cadence. Example: "Built Customer 360 (CRM + usage + support) refreshed daily for Sales and Support; enabled 6 new segments and increased campaign conversion by 12% while reducing time-to-triage by 20%."
The initiative is relevant but reads like a project description. Adding who used it, how often, and what changed in funnel/support metrics turns it into an executive-ready accomplishment.

"Built a customer 360 dataset combining CRM and product usage data for sales and support teams; enabled better segmentation and outreach."
