Jesse Jenkins
@jessejenkins
Director of data operations and analytics, modernizing pipelines to deliver secure, high-impact insights.
What I'm looking for
I’m a data operations and analytics leader with 15+ years of experience delivering scalable, secure analytics solutions across market research and analytics organizations. I focus on modernizing legacy platforms, strengthening data governance, and automating workflows so teams can move faster without sacrificing rigor.
At MarketCast / Phoenix Marketing International (PMI), I’ve led end-to-end data operations for large-scale, longitudinal market research programs—supporting executive and client-facing dashboards. I designed automation solutions using Python, SQL, PostgreSQL, and VBA, reducing manual QA and reporting effort by 60–75%, cutting costs by 25%, and improving defect rates from 50% to 10%. I also modernized recurring data processing pipelines, built script-driven QA frameworks, migrated legacy projects to new analytics platforms with automated validation, and served as a Jira Administrator to standardize workflows and reduce delivery risk.
I partner closely with IT and Security to maintain ISO 27001 data security compliance and translate technical issues into clear business impact for VPs and senior stakeholders. Earlier, as a Senior Analyst / Team Lead in professional services, I supervised global analytics teams and led regression modeling and methodological validation using SAS, SPSS, and STATA—work that reinforced my commitment to statistical defensibility.
