VP of Data - butterflymx

ButterflyMX is on a mission to empower people to open and manage doors & gates from a smartphone. Our products are installed in more than 20,000+ multifamily, commercial, gated communities, and student-housing properties worldwide, including properties developed, owned, and managed by the most trusted names in real estate.

Our features are designed for developers, owners, property managers, and tenants and our products lower operating costs and improve tenant satisfaction.

OUR SOLUTION

Developers and owners no longer need to run building wiring or install in-unit hardware. Property managers can grant building access, revoke permissions, and review entry logs from an online dashboard. Residents can open doors from their smartphones, issue visitor access, and see who is trying to enter the building.

OUR CULTURE & VALUES

Fantastic people are the key to our success. As a distributed, primarily remote workforce, we’re looking for more intelligent, passionate, collaborative, ai-forward, and down-to-earth individuals to join our growing team. We’re driven by a shared commitment to excellence and innovation, grounded in our core values: We delight our customers, We take ownership, We are a community of collaborators, We speak up, We think big and do small, and We are tenacious.

ROLE OVERVIEW

ButterflyMX is looking for a world-class Vice President of Data to lead a company-wide data transformation and establish data as one of our most important operating advantages.

We have invested in the right foundational technologies, including Snowflake, Fivetran, dbt, Sigma, and modern AI platforms. However, technology alone does not create a strong data organization. We need an exceptional leader with the vision, judgment, technical credibility, commercial fluency, and organizational influence to turn these systems into a trusted operating picture of the business.

The VP of Data will establish Snowflake and the governed data layer as the company’s source of truth. Every important business entity will have a trusted golden record. Every critical metric will have one definition, one owner, and one official home. Executives, operators, dashboards, workflows, and AI agents will use the same authoritative data products.

This leader will enable every function to understand performance, diagnose problems, identify opportunities, and make confident decisions faster. They will not measure success by the number of dashboards produced. They will measure it by the quality and speed of decisions, the adoption and trust of data products, and the degree to which data multiplies the effectiveness of our people.

This is a highly visible leadership role reporting directly to the CTO, with four initial direct reports and broad influence across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Finance, Operations, and Executive Leadership.
