Director of Database Development and BI - Remote

Job Summary

As the largest online distributor of restaurant supplies and equipment, WebstaurantStore hosts an expansive catalogue with over 430,000 products that are delivered through fast, dependable shipping. Unlike most in the e-commerce arena, almost all of our technological design, development, and systems management is done in-house, allowing us to create custom solutions within an ever-changing market.

This consistent, organic growth, is why we have a need for a Director of Database Development and Business Intelligence to lead our database and business intelligence teams, drive strategic initiatives, and optimize database performance. This high-impact role requires a balance of technical expertise, strategic leadership, and team empowerment to foster innovation and scalability across our data ecosystem.

• Lead, inspire, and mentor ~8 managers and their teams, guiding them through performance development and career growth.
• Balance strategic leadership and technical expertise, allocating your time between department-wide initiatives, and day-to-day management.
• Establish, document, and drive DB/BI best practices to promote scalability, optimization, and security in a hybrid environment.
• Collaborate with BA, QA, and Development teams to align priorities, manage projects effectively, and drive innovation.

Remote Work Qualifications

• Access to a reliable and secure high-speed internet connection. Cable or fiber internet connections (at least 75mbps download/10mbps upload) are preferred, as satellite connections often cannot support the technologies used to perform day-to-day tasks.
• Access to a home router and modem.
• A dedicated home office space that is noise- and distraction-free. The space should have strong wireless connection or a wired Ethernet connection (wired connection is preferred, if possible).
• A valid, physical address (apartment, suite, etc.). PO Boxes are not supported, as a physical address is required for you to receive your computer equipment.
• The desire and ability to work and communicate with other team members via chat, webcam, etc.

Experience

• 10+ years of leadership experience within a data-focused environment, including people management at an enterprise level and success leading large teams with direct-report managers.
• Strong expertise in modern MSBI stack/database technology (SQL Server, PowerBI, Redis, Elasticsearch, etc.) and managing large-scale, high-performance databases.
• A background in DB/BI development and data warehousing with a deep technical understanding required to support engineering teams.
• Familiarity with cloud vs. on-prem decisions, understanding that while some DB/BI solutions are cloud-based, core operational databases will remain on-premises.

• A Master’s degree (MBA or technical discipline) is a plus but not required.
