Product Owner

We are seeking a Data Product Owner to lead data initiatives aligned with engineering and analytics teams, with a strong focus on Master Data Management (MDM) domains such as customer, product, location, and transactional data. This role requires a technically fluent product owner who can operate in ambiguity, lead problem definition, and build multi-year roadmaps that drive enterprise data strategy.

The ideal candidate brings a blend of product ownership, business analysis, and delivery leadership, with experience supporting large-scale data environments in retail or similar industries.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive end-to-end delivery of data initiatives, from problem framing and requirements gathering through execution and delivery.
• Lead workshops and working sessions with business stakeholders to define unclear or evolving requirements.
• Translate business needs into structured backlogs, user stories, and multi-year product roadmaps.
• Act as the primary interface between business partners and technical teams, ensuring alignment and clarity across all stakeholders.
• Lead initiatives across key MDM domains, including customer, item/product, location, invoice, and sales data.
• Oversee ELT-based data initiatives within hybrid cloud environments, ensuring scalable and efficient data flows.
• Use SQL to explore datasets, validate logic, and support requirement accuracy and data integrity.
• Establish and standardize product management practices, including backlog governance, roadmap frameworks, and stakeholder engagement models.
• Track and report on delivery KPIs (e.g., cycle time, throughput, team performance) to support a maturing product organization.
• Define and manage OKRs to align team output with business outcomes.
• Operate independently on smaller initiatives without reliance on centralized PMO structures.

Must-Haves
