What You'll Do:

• Define the long-term product vision and roadmap for data governance and MDM capabilities, aligning with enterprise data strategy and business outcomes

• Translate business, regulatory, and technical needs into clear product requirements for governance services, including metadata management, data lineage, data catalogs, data quality monitoring, and access policies

• Partner with data engineering teams to design and implement scalable governance frameworks and MDM solutions that support self-service analytics and compliance

• Lead the development of master data models and entity domains (e.g., customer, account, product, location) in collaboration with business and technical stakeholders

• Establish and track success metrics for data quality, stewardship effectiveness, metadata completeness, and adoption of governed data domains

• Champion data ownership models, stewardship frameworks, and governance policies consistent with DAMA-DMBOK, DCAM, or data mesh principles

• Collaborate with Security, Legal, and Compliance teams to ensure adherence to privacy regulations, data retention policies, and access control standards

• Influence enterprise data strategy by promoting a culture of data accountability and enabling governed, reusable data products across business units

• Communicate complex governance concepts to executive audiences using clear, value-oriented storytelling and ROI-driven narratives

• Drive adoption of governance and MDM platforms through user training, documentation, and change management initiatives

What You Have:

• 8-10+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years focused on data governance, data platforms, or master data management

• Demonstrated success delivering cross-functional data initiatives that improved business outcomes, data quality, and regulatory compliance

• Familiarity with modern data stack architectures, including cloud data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery), transformation tools (dbt), and orchestration frameworks

• Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority and align diverse teams around a unified vision

• Experience defining and tracking product KPIs and using data to inform prioritization and roadmap decisions

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field (MBA or advanced degree preferred)

• A passion for building scalable, user-friendly data products that empower decision-making and foster trust in data across the organization

• B2B experience is a plus

Nice To Have:

• Deep understanding of data governance frameworks (e.g., DAMA-DMBOK, DCAM) and MDM best practices, including golden record management and data stewardship models

• Hands-on experience with MDM technologies (e.g., Reltio, Informatica MDM, Semarchy, Profisee) and data governance platforms (e.g., Collibra, Alation, Atlan, Ataccama)
