ABOUT THIS ROLE

Orchestra is seeking a Head of Data & Analytics to make intelligence a utility for the network — the same way finance or culture is a utility: a capability every team relies on to do the work at all, available on demand and self-serve for every pitch and every scope. The first-order mandate is to shore up the underlying data infrastructure and close existing service gaps so that capability is reliably in place. From that foundation, this is also a senior commercial and strategic role with full P&L accountability and a mandate to make Orchestra's data capability one of the most differentiated offerings in our portfolio. Revenue growth should follow from broad adoption of the utility, not depend on a small number of bespoke engagements.

The role spans all Orchestra verticals and integrates deeply with PR/Earned Media, Public Affairs, Advisory, Paid Media, Influencer Marketing, Brand Strategy, and Social. You will lead a 20+ person team, set the enterprise vision, build a self-serve intelligence platform and proprietary intelligence products, and serve as senior counsel on Orchestra's most strategic accounts.

The ideal candidate has operated at significant scale inside major agencies, consultancies, or enterprise analytics organizations, has built data and insights delivery as a scaled, automation-first utility rather than a bespoke-only research practice, and understands how to translate that foundation into commercial growth within earned media and strategic communications environments.
