We are seeking a Data & Technical Project Manager to serve as the primary operational partner and “eyes and ears” for direct manager, supporting a fast‑moving Master Data Governance and Analytics Operations team. This role is highly cross‑functional and requires someone who is data‑savvy, extremely solution‑oriented, and comfortable navigating complexity across IT, Product, Analytics, Merchants, and Finance.

• Lead and manage multiple concurrent initiatives across IT, Product, Analytics, and Business Stakeholders
• Partner with merchants, finance, analytics, and product teams to understand data needs, operational gaps, and dependencies
• Translate business and stakeholder needs into clear requirements and user stories, partnering with Product teams for execution
• Identify and resolve issues related to data taxonomy, hierarchy, and product data quality, escalating to Product and IT teams as needed
• Evaluate incoming work across tickets, enhancements, and new initiatives, helping prioritize what is truly high‑impact vs. “busy work”
• Drive operational efficiency improvements, asking “Is the team busy—or productively busy?”
• Maintain timelines, milestones, and delivery commitments, ensuring accountability across teams
• Identify and assess new data governance tools or platforms that could improve scalability, data quality, and efficiency
• Operate effectively in an environment with many moving parts, incomplete information, and evolving priorities
