Overview

This is a remote position, however, the candidate must reside within 30 miles of one of the following locations : Portland ME, Chicago IL, Boston MA, Washington DC, Dallas TX, San Jose CA, Seattle WA, or New York City NY.

WEX is on a mission to reimagine, simplify, and transform how we serve our customers and empower internal teams—driven by data, AI, and automation. As part of this transformation, we are seeking a visionary and execution-oriented Senior Director of Foundational Data and Corporate Payment Signal Hub to architect, lead, and scale the data foundation that powers WEX's future growth.

This role will lead product strategy and delivery across critical data platforms all designed to unify, enrich, and deliver actionable intelligence across the enterprise. You\'ll partner with leaders in Product, Technology, Operations, and GTM to establish the foundational building blocks - customer hierarchies, product structures, payment intelligence, and robust data ingestion pipelines - that drive smarter decisions, unlock revenue opportunities, and accelerate innovation.

Why This Role Matters

We are shifting from a broad, catch-all data and analytics model to a focused, foundational data strategy that prioritizes high-impact data domains and scalable infrastructure. Critical elements like customer and product hierarchies, entity linkages, and transactional payment data - which sit at the heart of our business - are receiving the investment and leadership they deserve. You\'ll own the roadmap for these foundational capabilities and deliver the intelligence layer that supports both internal operations and customer-facing innovations.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Product Strategy & Vision : Drive the roadmap for foundational data platforms to unify data entities, optimize payment intelligence, and enable a trusted customer intelligence framework.

Build the Data Backbone : Establish scalable, high-quality data ingestion and processing pipelines that power analytics, AI models, and business-critical decisions across WEX.

Deliver Enterprise Intelligence : Transform raw data into actionable insights through APIs, dashboards, and embedded intelligence-enabling teams in finance, product, and operations to optimize revenue, detect anomalies, and innovate confidently.

Enable Scalable Decision-Making : Develop and maintain entity linkages (prospect to customer lifecycle), product hierarchies, and transaction signals that serve as the foundation for Customer 360, risk management, and portfolio strategy.

Cross-Functional Leadership : Partner with executive leaders in Product, Technology, Operations, and GTM - to align business priorities with technical delivery.

Team Leadership : Mentor and scale a high-performing team of product managers and data experts, fostering a culture of ownership, innovation, and delivery excellence.

Balance Speed and Strategy : Execute on near-term priorities (e.g., payment intelligence, ingestion scalability) while laying the groundwork for future growth.

Governance & Metrics : Embed data quality, telemetry, and performance metrics into every platform to ensure trusted, reliable data and measurable outcomes.

What We're Looking For

10+ years of leadership experience in data, with proven success in foundational data platforms or enterprise intelligence systems.

Technical & Product Expertise : Strong understanding of data ingestion pipelines, entity resolution, customer hierarchies, and transactional data.

Strategic Leader : Ability to translate complex business requirements into clear product roadmaps that drive measurable business outcomes.

Cross-Functional Influence : Skilled in aligning technical teams and business stakeholders, balancing priorities across multiple domains.

Execution Excellence : Hands-on experience building and scaling internal data platforms with multi-million-dollar impact (e.g., operational efficiency, revenue optimization, risk mitigation).

Analytical Mindset : Deep understanding of data lifecycles - data ingestion, transformation, signal generation, and intelligence delivery.

Education : Bachelor\'s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field; Master\'s preferred.

Bonus Points For

Experience with payment systems, customer 360 frameworks, or product hierarchy management.

Familiarity with workflow automation, APIs for data delivery, or enterprise data platforms.

Background in building centralized data services that scale across diverse business lines.

Why Join Us?

This role sits at the heart of WEX\'s data transformation—shaping the systems and intelligence that drive how our teams work and how our customers are served. By building the foundational data backbone and signal intelligence, you will unlock the next generation of innovation across WEX, creating a scalable platform for both internal efficiency and customer value.

Pay Range : $199,000.00 - $265,000.00. The base pay range represents the anticipated low and high end of the pay range for this position. Actual pay rates will vary and will be based on various factors, such as your qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency for the role. Base pay is one component of WEX\'s total compensation package. Most sales positions are eligible for commission under the terms of an applicable plan. Non-sales roles are typically eligible for a quarterly or annual bonus based on their role and applicable plan. WEX\'s comprehensive and market competitive benefits are designed to support your personal and professional well-being. Benefits include health, dental and vision insurances, retirement savings plan, paid time off, health savings account, flexible spending accounts, life insurance, disability insurance, tuition reimbursement, and more.
