About this role

ButterflyMX is seeking a Vice President of Data to spearhead an enterprise-wide data transformation and position information as a core operating advantage. This remote position is ideal for an accomplished, hands-on data executive with a passion for building scalable architectures, guiding cross-functional teams, and driving impactful business decisions.

Role Overview

ButterflyMX is looking for a world-class Vice President of Data to lead a company-wide data transformation and establish data as one of the most important operating advantages. The organization has invested in foundational technologies like Snowflake, Fivetran, dbt, Sigma, and modern AI platforms, but needs an exceptional leader to turn these systems into a trusted operating picture of the business. Reporting directly to the CTO with four initial direct reports, this highly visible role requires shaping the enterprise data strategy, establishing a governed data layer, and partnering closely with executive leadership, Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Finance, and Operations.

Key Responsibilities

Define and execute ButterflyMX’s enterprise data strategy while balancing foundational investments with rapid delivery of visible business value.
Establish the governed data layer, centered primarily on Snowflake, as the authoritative source of truth for the company.
Partner with cross-functional leaders to define economic and operational relationships, identifying leading indicators and causal relationships rather than lagging reports.
Create a company-wide metric governance framework and treat internal data products with the same rigor applied to external software products.
Build a data organization where AI agents serve as a primary working tool.
Remain technically engaged by reviewing code, inspecting models, prototyping solutions, and participating directly in solving complex challenges.
Centralize standards, architecture, governance, and core data products while decentralizing responsible usage.

Requirements

12+ years of progressive experience across data engineering, analytics engineering, business intelligence, data architecture, data products, or related disciplines.
5+ years leading professional data teams, including experience managing managers or senior technical leaders.
Demonstrated success building or transforming a data function within a growing SaaS or technology company of comparable scale.
Deep experience with modern cloud data platforms, preferably including Snowflake.
Strong experience with data transformation and modeling frameworks such as dbt.
Experience with managed ingestion platforms such as Fivetran and with designing reliable source-to-warehouse pipelines.
Strong experience with business intelligence and self-service analytics platforms such as Sigma.
Deep understanding of dimensional modeling, semantic layers, entity resolution, master data, golden records, data contracts, lineage, observability, and data quality engineering.
Experience integrating and governing data from Salesforce and other core SaaS business systems.
Demonstrated ability to establish governed business metrics and resolve cross-functional definition disputes.
