Sr Technical Product Manager – Data Product Marketplace, Defense & Systems Data Fabric

Operationalizes the Data Product Marketplace and enterprise catalog for Defense & Systems. The role manages, facilitates, and monitors the flow of data products from intake through to being consumable in the fabric: onboarding and certification intake, the catalog and discovery experience, self‑service access workflows, and the adoption metrics that show whether any of it is working.

Standards come from the Principal Data Architect in the form of data-product contracts, schemas, and SLAs; policy comes from the Sr Principal Technical Product Manager. This role executes within both and owns the day‑to‑day consumer experience. Success improves Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost by shortening the path from a data product request to a governed, usable data product.

The Data Fabric only matters if people use it, and that is what this role owns: the front door, the onboarding path, and the evidence of adoption. You will work directly with data product owners across Defense & Systems, run the intake process that moves products into the fabric, and hold the consumer experience to a standard. This is hands‑on product management on a platform being built now, not caretaking of one already built.
