The Data Product Owner is accountable for the full lifecycle of assigned data products, including intake, prioritization, requirements management, adoption, governance, and continuous improvement.

• Lead intake, prioritization, and roadmap discussions, balancing business value, strategic objectives, technical dependencies, risk considerations, and available delivery capacity.
• Collaborate with data engineering, architecture, analytics, and governance teams to design and deliver trusted, scalable, and reusable data products that support reporting, analytics, operational processes, and AI-enabled solutions.
• Champion data-as-a-product principles, including product ownership, discoverability, documentation, governance, data quality, metadata, lineage, and lifecycle management.
• Drive adoption and continuous improvement through stakeholder engagement, product performance monitoring, user feedback, and measurement of business outcomes.
• Support the development and evolution of governed "gold" data products that improve consistency, traceability, scalability, and reuse across business and technology teams.
• Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, modernize, and consolidate data assets and reporting solutions, including support for cloud migration and enterprise data initiatives.
• Contribute to product design, prototyping, data analysis, or development activities when appropriate to accelerate delivery and establish foundational data capabilities.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent work experience.
• Typically eight or more years of experience in data, analytics, product management, business analysis, technology delivery, or related disciplines.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience supporting Investment Services, Fund Services, Custody, Fund Accounting, Transfer Agency, or other financial services organizations preferred.

• Experience defining business requirements, user stories, product roadmaps, and prioritization frameworks.
• Experience working across business and technology organizations to deliver data, analytics, or technology solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to lead initiatives involving multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and complex business requirements.
• Strong communication, facilitation, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience managing data products, analytics products, business intelligence solutions, or enterprise data initiatives.
• Strong understanding of data warehousing, data engineering, data modeling, reporting, analytics, and modern cloud data architectures.
• Experience with technologies such as Snowflake, Databricks, Azure, SQL Server, Postgres, or similar data platforms.
• Knowledge of data governance, data quality, metadata management, lineage, stewardship, and data-as-a-product principles.
• Experience defining product KPIs, adoption metrics, service levels, and business value realization measures.
• Experience operating within Agile product delivery environments and managing product backlogs.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
