We’re looking for a Principal Data Product Manager to define and drive the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for enterprise data governance and master data management (MDM).

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, Big Query), 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)
