Job Summary:
Revance is building an Intelligence Platform to serve as the single source of truth for insights, recommendations, and knowledge across the company. We are seeking a Data & AI leader to lead this transformation.
You will own the full arc from data foundation to business reporting to actionable intelligence: ingesting data from dozens of sources, resolving entities into a connected intelligence layer, powering AI and ML models on top that drive measurable commercial outcomes across both practice-level (B2B) and consumer-level (B2C) touchpoints. You will create clarity of intelligence, ensuring every insight is trusted, explainable, and directly tied to growth.
- Reporting to: Chief Technology Officer
- Location: Nashville, TN or Dallas, TX or Remote
What You’ll Do:
Execute the Intelligence Vision & Strategy
- Execute the enterprise intelligence strategy as the knowledge and insight hub across the Revance portfolio
- Design and operationalize a self-reinforcing intelligence system where better data produces better models, smarter actions, and improved outcomes
- Translate business goals into a sequenced intelligence roadmap with measurable topline impact
- Establish clarity of intelligence: unified data → unified semantics → trusted insights → automated action → revenue lift
Power Commercial Intelligence & Growth Engines
- Deliver AI-powered engines that can operate at scale
- Embed intelligence directly into commercial workflows (CRM, ordering, loyalty, digital platforms) so insights drive action at the point of decision
- Tie intelligence output to measurable outcomes: AOV, conversion, retention, share of wallet, pipeline velocity
Architect a Scalable Intelligence Platform
- Design a modern data architecture that connects data across many sources into a coherent, well-modeled intelligence layer
- Own the semantic layer and metrics governance: consistent business definitions, reusable governed metrics, and decoupled business logic enabling self-service analytics and AI consumption
- Ensure platform scalability, reliability, governance, cost efficiency, and explainability at every layer
Build & Lead the Intelligence Organization
- Define and build the AI & Data Engineering team and establish collaboration models with other stakeholders
- Lead and coordinate strategic vendors, ensuring all work aligns with long-term architecture, not just short-term deliverables; transition critical capabilities in-house over time
- Establish a culture of outcome-driven intelligence - every model, metric, and pipeline must trace to business impact
- Own data governance, quality, lineage, observability, and compliance across all data domains, including AI guardrails (bias checks, human-in-the-loop, auditability)
What You’ll Bring:
Strategic & Leadership
- 10+ years in data, analytics, and AI, with at least 5+ years leading data or AI/ML teams
- Proven track record of building compounding intelligence systems that directly drove revenue growth, ideally in B2B, B2C, or B2B2C environments
- Experience translating data strategy into executive narratives and cross-functional alignment; ability to make complex concepts intuitive for non-technical leaders
- Track record of building and scaling high-performing teams (data engineering, data science, analytics) from early stage to mature function
Technical Architecture & Execution
- Platform Leadership & Intelligence — Led modernization of the enterprise data platform to create an AI-ready environment; championed integration of ML/LLM capabilities directly into the data core
- Unified Intelligence Architecture — Built a unified data layer that brings signals from many different source systems together into a single, trusted source of truth, creating the foundation that analytics and AI/ML models run on.
- Operational Excellence (DataOps/MLOps) — Established disciplined DataOps and MLOps practices, with automated, well-tested pipelines that deliver data reliably and keep models monitored and maintained once they are in production.
Domain & Commercial Intelligence
- Experience operationalizing AI enabled recommendation systems at scale with measurable commercial lift
- Background in healthcare, life sciences, retail, or regulated industries is a strong plus
- Understanding of loyalty ecosystems, CRM intelligence, and omnichannel personalization is a plus
Basic Qualifications:
- Doctorate degree & 5 years of directly related experience
- Master’s degree & 7 years of directly related experience
- Bachelor’s degree & 9 years of directly related experience
