- Work with stakeholders to turn business requirements into effective product outcomes.
- Manage delivery from start to finish while protecting quality, compliance, and integration across the wider ecosystem.
- Spot skill or capability gaps and introduce training and development initiatives.
- Promote strong data governance, privacy, and best-practice ways of working, while making use of enterprise and AI capabilities.
What you will bring
- Substantial experience in data product management, including strategy, roadmap development, and delivery execution.
- Demonstrated people leadership with the ability to lead and elevate technical teams.
- Hands-on technical knowledge of data platforms and tools such as SQL, dbt, GCP, BigQuery, and Python.
