As a data leader at ecobee, you’ll be responsible for partnering with our business stakeholders in Finance, Sales, Customer Support, Operations, Marketing and Product to understand both their data needs and the KPIs and metrics they use to measure success. At the same time, you’ll work closely with our technology groups to understand many disparate data sources, ranging from ecobee’s public cloud through key business systems. You are a business and technology partner, comfortable and experienced in both realms.

  • Hold your upstream data partners accountable for the accuracy, quality and timeliness of the data their systems produce
  • Champion the security of ecobee’s data by partnering with our Security team, ensuring we are meeting or exceeding the data promise we make to our customers
  • An immediate term focus on data quality –building trust in a single source of data begins with data quality
  • Enable self-service insight – your stakeholders are most effective when they are able to work with their data in a structured, clear and consistent manner
