Data & AI Systems Manager

Responsibilities

• Own Pursuit's data infrastructure end-to-end — the semantic layer, data dictionary, and internal tools that make program outcomes, partner ecosystem, and network data usable across teams
• Turn data into insight and action: build reporting, dashboards, and agentic capabilities that don't just show teams and leadership what happened, but help them decide what to do next
• Enable teams to self-serve outcomes data — improve data availability, accuracy, completeness, and structure across systems so all Pursuit staff can pull the metrics they need to run the business without hitting a bottleneck
• Partner with program, fundraising, and operations teams to design data structures (fields, statuses, pipelines) that actually reflect how they work
• Shape data governance for an AI-native org — help define the standards, permissions, and structure that let AI agents, not just people, use Pursuit's data reliably
• Pilot and evaluate new AI tools and workflows as they intersect with data and systems
• Act as Pursuit's systems integrator: architect how our SaaS vendors and internal tools connect, and administer access, permissions, and workflows across them
