Manager, Data Analysis Discovery & Requirements
Deloitte US · Cincinnati, United States +5 · 1d ago
This role leads the discovery, definition, delivery, governance, and adoption of data products for a strategic initiative to build Deloitte Global's Data Platform. It blends product ownership, business analysis, and data discovery expertise with a working understanding of how well-structured data underpins modern AI and agentic capabilities.
The Manager will own business use cases from intake through implementation, partnering with business stakeholders, architects, and engineering teams to shape scalable, trusted, AI-ready data products. Success in this role means being equally comfortable running structured requirements sessions and navigating ambiguity — translating technical depth into recommendations that business and technology leaders can act on.
