About Graza
Graza makes always fresh, never blended, extra virgin olive oil in fun-to-use squeeze bottles. In the past two years, we’ve gone from a fast-growing brand to a national business, with products on the shelves of Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, Kroger, Safeway/Albertsons, and many others.
We’ve also expanded beyond olive oil into mayo and chips, with more innovation ahead. We operate across retail, club, DTC, and international markets, and the complexity of the business is growing quickly.
That creates an exciting problem: we need to build the systems, data infrastructure, and processes that allow Graza to scale without adding unnecessary complexity.
The Role
We’re looking for our first dedicated Director of Data & Business Systems
This is not a traditional data engineering role. And it’s not a traditional IT or business systems role. You’ll sit at the intersection of data, technology, and how the business actually works.
You’ll help us understand how information flows through Graza—from customer orders and inventory, through purchasing, production, logistics, finance, and ultimately into the reporting the leadership team uses to run the company.
You’ll identify where we rely on spreadsheets, manual work, duplicate data entry, disconnected systems, or inconsistent definitions. You’ll determine whether the answer is a process change, better use of an existing system, an integration, automation, or something new.
At the same time, you’ll own the evolution of our Snowflake data environment and turn it into a reliable foundation for reporting, analytics, and decision-making.
You’ll report to the VP of Finance and work directly with the leadership team. This is a highly visible role with broad ownership and significant room to shape the function.
What You’ll Do
Build the data foundation.
Own the architecture and roadmap for our Snowflake environment. Design the underlying data model, ingestion and transformation pipelines, and reliable datasets that become the foundation for company reporting. Build the tools and outputs that allow the business to answer questions without recreating analysis in spreadsheets every week.
Understand how the business works.
Map critical business processes and data flows across Finance, Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, and other functions. Understand where data originates, where it changes, which system owns it, and where things break down. Establish clear systems of record for customers, products, orders, inventory, revenue, COGS, and other critical business domains.
Make Graza's systems work together.
Evaluate our existing technology landscape and determine where we should integrate, configure, replace, consolidate, or build. Own the architecture behind key integrations between accounting, ERP, e-commerce, inventory, supply chain, logistics, retail, and other platforms.
Eliminate unnecessary manual work.
Find the processes that consume people's time because "that's how we've always done it." Quantify the problem, redesign the process, and automate where it makes sense. We want fewer spreadsheets that require someone to remember to update them and more durable systems that work correctly by design.
Build trusted business intelligence.
Partner with Finance, Sales, Operations, and Supply Chain to turn business questions into useful data products. Build reporting around revenue, margin, customers, channels, SKUs, pricing, velocity, inventory, purchasing, production, logistics, and forecasting. Start with the decision the business needs to make and work backward to the data required to support it.
Create confidence in the numbers.
Establish definitions, ownership, testing, reconciliation, monitoring, and documentation for critical metrics. When Finance, the leadership team, the board, or investors ask a question, we should be able to explain where the number came from and why we trust it.
Build the function.
