Job Summary
The Assistant Vice President of Enterprise Reporting and Data leads enterprise reporting and data strategy across critical functions, including data engineering, data governance, agentic AI, business intelligence and reporting, actuarial data support, and specialized areas such as Ceded Reinsurance. This role owns end-to-end data and reporting platforms, ensuring scalable architecture, efficient operations, and business-aligned delivery across agile teams and vendor partners. The AVP also drives cross-functional collaboration, business value, compliance, and modernization across the data ecosystem, including Snowflake, Azure services, Databricks, Sigma, Python, Airflow, Collibra, Stibo, and Power BI.
In addition, the role is responsible for leading delivery, governance, and operational oversight across key enterprise data platform capabilities, including Data Stores, Cortex, Data Security, MDM, RDM, Data Lineage, and Data Catalog. The AVP will provide leadership across Agile execution and solution architecture while ensuring strong platform design governance, scalability, and standardization. A core expectation is maintaining close proximity to delivery, actively guiding engineering teams and course-correcting execution when needed. The role partners directly with SVP-level stakeholders to drive requirement alignment, negotiation, and business outcomes rather than operating as an order-taker. It also plays a key role in advancing AI-enabled reporting and modernization efforts across the AINA data ecosystem while ensuring operational stability and compliance.

- Must demonstrate strong proximity to delivery (not just oversight), including ability to review code, guide engineering teams on “how to build,” and step in to course-correct technical execution when needed.
- Proven experience engaging directly with SVP-level stakeholders to drive and negotiate requirements, with accountability for outcomes rather than operating as a downstream delivery partner.
