Director, Business Intelligence & Analytics

RapidSOS is a leading public safety AI company focused on enhancing emergency response through technology. They are seeking a Director of Business Intelligence & Analytics to drive strategic planning and decision-making using data, while building an AI-amplified decision engine for the company.

Responsibilities:

• Be a key partner to the executive team on planning, forecasting, and investment tradeoffs — not just reporting on decisions, but helping shape them
• Own the analytical frameworks that inform how RapidSOS allocates resources, evaluates performance, and identifies growth opportunities
• Lead white space analysis, upsell opportunity identification, and customer health scoring to drive GTM strategy
• Influence board and investor narratives by ensuring the data behind our story is airtight, consistent, and compelling
• Establish and enforce definitions for all key business metrics — ARR, churn, pipeline, product utilization, and customer health — across Finance, Revenue, and Product
• Serve as the arbiter of truth when metrics conflict across systems or teams
• Partner with Finance on investor-grade reporting standards and SaaS metric definitions
• Identify opportunities to use AI to automate recurring reporting, anomaly detection, forecasting, and narrative generation
• Build workflows that reduce manual analysis and increase the speed from data to decision
• Partner with Data Engineering and Product to incorporate predictive and AI-generated insights into dashboards and executive reporting
• Establish best practices for responsible AI use in analytics, including validation, governance, and transparency
• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting that drive board, investor, and leadership decisions
• Own the cadence of executive data deliverables including weekly leadership reviews, monthly business reviews, and board packages
• Translate complex data into clear, decision-ready narratives for senior stakeholders
• Embed analytics support across RevOps, Product, and Finance — delivering insights at the speed each team operates
• Partner with Product on utilization metrics, adoption trends, and retention risk signals
• Enable self-serve analytics capabilities across the organization so teams move fast without breaking things
• Hire, develop, and grow a high-impact team of analysts and analytics engineers over time
• Partner closely with the Data Engineering team (Databricks/medallion architecture) to ensure the analytics layer is reliable, scalable, and governed
• Evaluate and evolve the BI and AI toolstack to match the ambition of the function

Requirements:

• 8+ years in analytics, business intelligence, or data strategy roles, with 3+ years in a leadership capacity
• Deep experience in a B2B SaaS environment — you understand ARR, net revenue retention, CAC, pipeline coverage, and the metrics that matter to investors and operators
• Proven ability to be a strategic partner to senior leadership, not just a reporting function — you've influenced planning, budgeting, and investment decisions with data
• Experience using AI tools to accelerate analytics workflows: automated SQL generation, natural language data exploration, AI-assisted modeling, or narrative reporting
• Track record of reducing manual reporting effort through automation or intelligent tooling
• Hands-on with modern BI tooling (Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or similar); strong SQL skills required
• Experience working with cloud data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or equivalent)
• Executive presence — you can present to the board with confidence and translate complexity into clear decisions
• Comfort experimenting with new tools and shaping how AI is used responsibly inside an organization
• Familiarity with analytics engineering workflows and tools
• DataBricks familiarity is a plus
• Prior experience building or formalizing a BI function from the ground up a plus
