About Mood

Mood is not your average e-commerce company - we’re building the future of legal cannabis in the U.S. through a digital-first, customer-obsessed approach. We’re growing fast, powered by a team that’s just as passionate about building a seamless, personalized customer experience as they are about transforming the cannabis industry. From our rapidly expanding product catalog to our innovative use of analytics, machine learning & AI, data is at the core of every decision we make.

The Role

We’re looking for a Business Insights Manager to lead how insights are built, delivered, and trusted across Mood. Reporting to the VP of Data & Analytics, this role blends hands-on technical work with people leadership and cross-functional influence.

You’ll manage a small, high-impact team (two analysts and one data engineer), own the quality and velocity of business insights, and serve as a primary interface between business stakeholders, analytics, and data science. Your mission: ensure decision-makers get fast, accurate, and actionable insights - without friction.

This role is ideal for someone who is deeply technical, business-minded, and excited to both build and lead.

Team Management & Development

• Manage and mentor two analysts/reporting specialists and one data engineer
• Create a scalable operational framework & recruit more team members as the business scales
• Set clear expectations around quality, speed, and stakeholder communication.
• Support career development, skill growth, and best practices across the team.

Business Stakeholder Partnership

• Act as a primary analytics partner to business leaders across marketing, product, CX, and operations.
• Proactively surface insights, risks, and opportunities - without waiting for requests.
• Align stakeholders on KPI definitions, success metrics, and reporting expectations.
• Ensure insights lead to action by clearly communicating tradeoffs and recommendations.

Reporting & Data Stack Improvements

• Own initiatives to improve reporting speed, scalability, and usability.
• Identify gaps and bottlenecks in the current analytics and reporting stack.
• Scope, prioritize, and drive improvements focused on:

• Faster time-to-insight
• Higher data accuracy and trust
• Reduced manual reporting and rework
