Director, Decision Intelligence & AI Product Strategy

Role Description

The Director, Decision Intelligence & AI Product Strategy is the senior analytical architect and strategic thought partner for the US Asundexian Product Squad. Reporting to the Senior Director who leads Decision Intelligence (DI) for Asundexian, you translate the business’s most important decisions into clear analytical blueprints, design the approach and evidence needed to answer them, and ensure the resulting insights are embedded into business workflows and actions.

In this role, you will help shape strategic priorities alongside the Senior Director while also rolling up your sleeves to conduct sophisticated analyses and generate breakthrough insights. You will connect business context, analytics, research, data and technology so that decision products address the Product’s most important needs and generate measurable business value.

Working across the full decision-product lifecycle, you will partner closely with other groups within DI to design, build, validate, deploy, operate and continuously improve reusable analytical capabilities. While accountability shifts across the lifecycle, you hold primary accountability for architecting the analysis — framing decisions into blueprints, defining methods and evidence, and assuring analytical quality — and you own the interpretation, adoption and decision impact of the analytics you shape.

This position combines the intellectual rigor of deep analytical work with the strategic impact of advising senior leadership on high-stakes business decisions. You will work closely with the Senior Director to drive high-quality insights, effective decisions, product growth and competitive advantage.

The preferred location for this role is Whippany, NJ, however, residence-based candidates in the US will be considered based upon needs of the business.
