Job Description & How to Apply Below
This role sits at the center of business strategy, data product management, and technical delivery. You'll function as the data product lead for assigned business domains, owning the end-to-end lifecycle of enterprise data and analytics products. That includes problem framing, requirements definition, delivery partnership, adoption, and value realization.
This is a hands-on senior role for someone who enjoys working across business and technology, thrives in ambiguity, and wants real ownership. You'll influence outcomes through expertise, judgment, and cross functional leadership rather than direct people management.
If you think like a Business Systems Analyst, design like an architect, and operate with a product mindset, this role was built for you.
** How you'll make an impact:*
* + Serve as the primary subject matter expert for data, analytics, and integration needs across assigned business domains, translating business requirements into repeatable, executable design patterns and system qualities.
+ Own the data product vision and functional roadmap for your domain, aligned to business priorities and Edwards' enterprise data and AI strategy.
+ Lead end‑to‑end techno‑functional requirements definition, including business outcomes, success metrics, data logic, data quality expectations, and non‑functional requirements.
+ Partner closely with Data Product Managers, Architects, and Engineering teams to identify integration opportunities, select appropriate tools, and define shared data, interfaces, and data flows.
+ Provide architectural and design oversight through planning, execution, and operations to ensure alignment with enterprise standards and successful implementation.
+ Breakdown complex initiatives into clear, prioritized epics and user stories that meet definition‑of‑ready standards.
+ Function as the functional authority during delivery, supporting testing and UAT, resolving ambiguity, and validating outcomes against business intent.
+ Shape logical data models, domain data products, semantic definitions, and metadata in collaboration with architecture and engineering partners.
+ Contribute to the evolution of enterprise design methodologies, technology standards, and best practices, driving reuse and consistency across EDAIx.
+ Evaluate emerging technologies for potential integration and advocate for new tools, standards, and approaches when they deliver clear value.
+ Drive adoption and value realization through rollout support, usage metrics, and continuous improvement initiatives.
+ Provide expert guidance on tactical initiatives and mentor junior techno‑functional team members through coaching, training, and knowledge transfer.
** A Day in the Life:*
* No two days look the same, but a typical day may include:
+ Partnering with business leaders to clarify problems and shape them into well‑defined data products or integration opportunities.
+ Translating business objectives into success metrics, system qualities, data requirements, and acceptance criteria that engineering teams can execute.
+ Whiteboarding data flows, integrations, interfaces, and domain models with architects and analytics engineers.
+ Refining stories with delivery teams to ensure architectural alignment and eliminate ambiguity before work begins.
+ Reviewing data outputs, dashboards, pipelines, or models during testing to ensure they represent true business meaning, not just technical correctness.
+ Providing architectural guidance across active initiatives to ensure consistency, reuse, and compliance with enterprise standards.
+ Collaborating with other Data Product Managers and Architects to drive cross‑domain alignment and shared…
