The opportunity

Delaware North Boston Holdings is hiring a full-time Director, Business Intelligence and Analytics to join our team at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. As the Director of Business Intelligence and Analytics, you will oversee two critical business functions: Business Intelligence – responsible for converting data into tools, insights, reports, + analytics – and Data Strategy – responsible for the core technologies (e.g. CRM, data warehouse, engineering + architecture), integrations, + platforms that power our business, leading and scaling both functions through an ongoing period of transformation.

 

This leader will oversee a combined group that spans BI analysts, data engineers, CRM specialists, and technical analysts. The Director will be responsible for setting the vision, priorities, and standards for the department while ensuring both verticals are tightly aligned to enterprise objectives around revenue optimization, fan engagement, operational efficiency, and digital transformation.

 

The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who bridges the gap between technical depth and business acumen. They will translate senior Leadership’s strategic vision into executable roadmaps, champion a culture of data-driven decision-making across the organization, and serve as the primary point of escalation and cross-functional coordination for all data and analytics initiatives. This individual will be highly visible, working directly with senior stakeholders across Ticketing, Premium, Corporate Partnerships, Marketing, Digital, Finance, and Operations to embed data into every facet of how the business operates and grows.
