Senior Director, Business Analytics & Operations

Job Description: We believe in bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and the drive to transform knowledge into impact. Here, your curiosity fuels progress, your voice shapes innovation, and your ambition helps redefine what’s possible within science and learning. We are a culture that obsesses over impact, challenges, and drives what’s next to power infinite possibilities for our customers, colleagues and society at large. About the Role: Wiley Research is executing a three-year transformation — from its strong publishing foundation through a connected intelligence layer to essential research infrastructure. The Business Management & Strategic Programs (BMSP) team is the connective tissue between the EVP's strategic agenda and the day-to-day work of the Research business. The Director, Business Analytics & Operations is the operating and analytical engine that keeps this ambition on track. This role combines two critical capabilities: the disciplined operating-rhythm and executive-support functions of a business operations leader, and the data and analytics leadership needed to instrument a growth strategy in a complex and matrixed organization. The Senior Director partners directly with the VP, Business Management & Strategic Programs and the EVP and GM, Research to translate strategic direction into structured execution, and builds the analytical foundation — dashboards, KPI frameworks, pipeline intelligence, financial governance — without which no data-led growth model can scale. The ideal candidate has operated at the intersection of business operations and data analytics in a large, matrixed organization, has supported P&L-owning senior leaders, and brings the credibility to act as a trusted proxy across functions. This is an execution-oriented role with visibility and consequence. Job Responsibilities: 1.
