About The Role

We're looking for a Director, Data Collective to lead the team that owns Sovrn's data platform end-to-end: the pipelines, lakehouse, data services, and cloud infrastructure that power our exchange, our products, and our customers' decisions. This is a hands-on engineering leadership role. You'll own team composition and hiring; lead architecture and design across the platform; and remain close enough to the code, the systems, and the tradeoffs to make real technical decisions, not just approve them.

You'll be working with a strong senior team, a modern stack, and an organization that already uses LLMs and agentic tooling across the data stack. " Someone with strong opinions about what high-leverage AI-native data engineering looks like at exchange scale, and the credibility to bring the rest of the org along.
