• Translating business needs into well-defined data products, including defining product vision, target users, use cases, data domains, and required capabilities in partnership with business, analytics, and engineering teams.

• Leading product discovery and prioritization by facilitating structured working sessions to identify high-value use cases, assess feasibility, and sequence delivery based on impact, dependencies, and organizational readiness.

• Acting as the primary Product Manager for data initiatives, developing epics and user stories, defining acceptance criteria, and ensuring alignment between business intent and technical implementation.

• Partnering closely with data engineering, platform, and architecture teams to ensure data products are scalable, reusable, well-governed, and aligned with data standards and platform strategy.

• Driving execution and delivery discipline by maintaining roadmaps, backlogs, and dependencies in JIRA and Confluence, while actively managing risks, tradeoffs, and stakeholder expectations.

• Championing adoption and value realization by working with business partners to enable onboarding, track usage and outcomes, and continuously iterate on products based on feedback and performance insights.

• Serving as a subject matter expert for assigned data platforms or domains, helping business teams understand how to leverage data products to advance analytical and operational needs.
