The Sr. Manager, Digital Analytics leads Patagonia's Digital Insights & Analytics function, setting the vision and roadmap for how digital data enables our eCommerce and brand priorities. This individual builds clean data foundations, owns rhythmic business reporting, and partners across Digital, Product, Storytelling, and Technology teams to turn data into action.

The ideal candidate is an analytics leader and builder at heart who pairs technical depth in digital data with strong business acumen and storytelling, is energized by scaling a function with lean resources, and leverages technology, including automation and AI, to augment capacity. This role coaches and develops a team, can roll their sleeves up and build pipelines and produce thoughtful analyses, and is the steward of best-in-class digital data quality, privacy, and cookie management practices.

What You'll Do

• Function vision and roadmap: Set the multi-year vision and roadmap for Digital Insights & Analytics, aligning analytics value delivery to eCommerce and brand priorities and leading forward-looking project planning.
• Measurement infrastructure and governance: Own strategic digital measurement, data collection, and governance across client- and server-side environments, partnering with site engineering and Digital Technology to build reliable infrastructure upstream while staying fluent in the analytics layer (ex. GA4, tag management, UTM nomenclature). Ensure data is accurate, trusted, and well documented.
• Privacy, compliance, and cookie management: Ensure consent and cookie management practices are best-in-class, partnering with Legal, Privacy, and Digital Technology to meet digital data policies and evolving regulations.
• Business reporting rhythms: Establish steady-state, rhythmic business reporting best practices (ex. weekly business reviews, executive reporting, YTD pacing), building self-service dashboards and scaffolding that reduce reliance on bespoke requests.
• Forecasting and reconciliation: Lead eCommerce business forecasting and reconciliation, partnering with Finance, Merchandising & Planning, and Customer Analytics to align on sources of truth across platforms and systems.
• Scaling the practice: Integrate more businesses and programs into our analytics practice, including Worn Wear and Provisions, defining measurement plans, KPIs, and reporting so each business has the insight it needs to grow.
• Prioritization and capacity: Own request intake, queue prioritization, and delivery sprints, making clear trade-offs and building resourcing plans as the function grows. Leverage automation, AI, modern tooling, and agency and contractor support to scale output from multiple angles.
• Platform, vendor, and data partnerships: Serve as point person for digital analytics platforms and partners (ex. GA4, analytics agency), owning relationships, contracts, and renewals. Help secure and direct centralized Data & Analytics resourcing (ex. data engineering, ingestion, and pipelines) as a thought leader on digital data needs and roadmaps.
• Insights to action: Provide QA and thought partnership on analyses, deliver clear insights to stakeholders, and hold teams accountable for turning insights into action.
• Player-coach leadership: Coach and develop the team while staying hands-on in building pipelines and analyses, fostering growth, technical excellence, and a culture of curiosity and accountability.

Who You Are

• Analytics leader and builder: You set a clear vision, build the foundations and processes to deliver it, and thrive when shaping a function from the ground up.

• Collaborative influencer: You build strong cross-functional partnerships, navigate competing priorities, and secure support from partners outside your direct line.
• Mission-aligned: You're passionate about Patagonia's environmental mission and how data can help us build a responsible, resilient business.

Experience You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in digital analytics, eCommerce analytics, or business intelligence, including 2+ years leading people or an analytics function.
• Experience in direct-to-consumer or omnichannel retail analytics; experience supporting multiple businesses or brands is a plus.

• Proficiency in SQL, cloud data warehouses (ex. Snowflake), and data visualization tools (ex. Tableau, Power BI, Looker).
• Experience building eCommerce forecasting, pacing, and reconciliation across platform, web analytics, and financial data.
• Experience designing and operationalizing recurring business reporting (ex. WBRs, executive dashboards) that drives decisions.
• Deep understanding of privacy regulations (ex. GDPR, CCPA/CPRA) and experience in connectivity with consent management platforms (ex. OneTrust).
