The Opportunity 

The Business Strategy and Analytics team enables our organization to leverage data in every facet of the business, from operational needs to strategic planning. Individuals on this team leverage technical proficiencies and understanding of the business and the industry to implement systems, tools, automation, and data flow processes that allow our stakeholders to achieve their goals. The team is seeking an individual to own internal relationships with core lines of business, and leverage the knowledge gained to optimize and deliver tools that empower those groups to drive revenue. This individual will further manage all dynamic and real-time pricing efforts for associated products (e.g. tickets, partnership assets, parking), understanding business drivers and day-to-day process to serve as a trusted advisor that helps scale these activities, while also working to further data-driven decision making through model-based advanced analytics.

 

The department consists of three primary verticals: Integrations + Insights, Platforms, and Business Optimizations. Leadership of the third will be this individual’s primary responsibility, owning, managing, and optimizing various ongoing business cadences, using tools such as dashboards, models, and reports to ensure leadership is informed and empowered to make effective decisions. This role is crucial for enhancing efficiency, ensuring quality, and driving continuous improvement across all day-to-day, month-to-month, and season-to-season business functions.

 

This individual will be highly visible in the organization with direct ownership of several business-critical processes, outcomes, and artifacts. As the lead analyst on the team, projects might include: generating new reports for specific lines of business, overseeing and managing various internal and NHL-facing data exports, supporting Financial audits, deploying collective models to drive business-critical decisions related to business execution, and evaluating existing workflows while identifying opportunities for automation.
