Job Description Summary

We are seeking a Data Relationship Manager (DRM) to serve as the primary bridge between the IT organization and our business partner’s data needs. You will partner with business leaders to understand the impact and technical feasibility of their requests, drive the decomposition of complex requirements, and be responsible for designing our data product (DaaP) architecture using technical best practices. You will become a subject matter expert in your department’s data sources and key metrics, as well as critical cross‑functional support for our Actionable Data Insights (ADI) program.

Ensure all data initiatives comply with IT data governance, security measures, and established data product (DaaP) design standards. Verify development aligns with business expectations before production deployment, including confirming business user acceptance testing (UAT) sign‑off.

For large and complex business requests, translate requirements into technical design recommendations and a level of effort estimation.
