Data Operations Lead

Data is at the core of modern business, yet many teams struggle with its overwhelming volume and complexity. At Atlan, we’re changing that. As the world’s first active metadata platform, we help organisations transform data chaos into clarity and seamless collaboration.

From Fortune 500 leaders to hyper-growth startups, from automotive innovators redefining mobility to healthcare organisations saving lives, and from Wall Street powerhouses to Silicon Valley trailblazers — we empower ambitious teams across industries to unlock the full potential of their data.

Recognised as leaders by Gartner and Forrester and backed by Insight Partners, Atlan is at the forefront of reimagining how humans and data work together. Joining us means becoming part of a movement to shape a future where data drives extraordinary outcomes.

We’re hiring an AI‑native Data Operations Lead to own how Atlan runs its business through data. This is a hands-on role that sits at the intersection of analytics, strategy, and AI — building the data backbone that powers our operating rhythm including weekly insights, monthly business reviews, and quarterly Board reporting.

You’ll bridge the gap between GTM strategy and execution — connecting the dots across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to tell the story of how the business is performing and where we can go faster.

• Build and own the data pipeline behind Atlan’s weekly → monthly → quarterly insight cadence, culminating in company-wide and Board reporting.

• Translate strategic priorities (Big Rocks) into measurable outcomes and clear operational metrics.

• Partner cross‑functionally (Sales, Marketing, CS, Growth) to unify metrics, definitions, and insights.

• Design and maintain dashboards and data workflows across pipeline and productivity.

• Leverage AI and unstructured data (e.g., call intelligence, notes) to surface faster, deeper insights.

• Drive cross‑functional alignment through data storytelling and executive‑ready communication.

• The company runs on your insights to make faster, better decisions.

• Data‑driven rhythm established: weekly ops reviews, monthly business reviews, quarterly company-wide reporting.

• AI‑powered analysis embedded into the GTM engine (e.g., win/loss, pipeline health, forecast accuracy).

• Consistent, trusted metrics across functions; no surprises at the Board table.

• 7+ years of experience in data analytics, strategy, and/or business operations.

• Track record of building executive‑level dashboards and reporting in a sales‑led SaaS environment.

• Strategic thinker who can map qualitative strategy → quantitative insight → business action.

• Strong communicator — concise, structured, and confident with executive audiences.

• AI‑native mindset: comfort combining structured (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) and unstructured data; bonus for having built or demoed an AI agent or an autonomous workflow.

• Hands-on expertise in SQL, Snowflake, and modern BI (Sigma or similar).

• Experience collaborating with cross‑functional leads (GTM, Ops, Finance, CS).

• Experience in SaaS, AI, or IoT at Series C+ stage companies.

• Exposure to AI‑based goal tracking or agent‑driven analysis platforms.
