• Communicate priorities, dependencies, risks, trade-offs, and outcomes to senior stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Significant product-management experience with enterprise data, data-platform, or similarly complex technical products.
• Experience defining product strategy, roadmaps, requirements, priorities, and measurable outcomes.
• Strong understanding of data modeling, source-to-target mapping, reconciliation, validation, lineage, and data quality.
• Understanding of batch, streaming, file-based, API, and change-data-capture patterns.
• Knowledge of data lakes, lakehouses, cloud warehouses, transformation layers, orchestration, observability, and governed consumption.
