About the role

The Director, Data Platform will build and run AHEAD’s Data Platform Team— a single, unified group accountable for every governed connection the enterprise exposes into its data domains. This is a build-and-run leadership role: the Director will stand up the team, the platform, and the operating model simultaneously, then own it on an ongoing basis.

The platform model centers on one governed connection per data domain — exposed as an MCP server, API, direct SQL connection, or event stream — with two backend lanes behind every connection: a read lane serving curated, AI- and analytics-ready data products, and an operational lane serving approved enterprise actions and event-driven integration back into source systems. The Director owns both lanes, the connection layer that unifies them, the access model that determines what any caller — person, application, AI agent, or integration pipeline — is permitted to do, and the event streaming infrastructure that powers domain-event-driven consumers such as Hatch.

This is a hands-on architectural and operational leadership role. The Director will be the senior-most technical authority on Snowflake, data governance, platform access and authorization, FinOps, ingestion, medallion architecture, data product publishing, and event
