The ideal candidate brings strong technical program management experience, high Jira fluency, strong async communication habits, and the ability to create clarity across complex, cross-functional data platform initiatives.

This role helps ensure enterprise data initiatives are delivered with focus, transparency, speed, and measurable business impact.
This is a remote role.

What You ll Do

• Own and manage the Data Engineering roadmap across supported brands, translating enterprise priorities into clear delivery plans, releases, backlogs, and measurable outcomes.
• Lead Agile delivery for cross-functional data platform and engineering teams, including standups, sprint planning, and backlog refinement,
• Refine and maintain Jira backlogs to reflect upcoming initiatives, emergent work, engineering dependencies, and shifting business priorities.
• Drive end-to-end program management for complex, multi-quarter data engineering initiatives, ensuring teams have clear priorities, aligned stakeholders, and actionable next steps.
• Proactively identify risks, blockers, dependencies, access needs, tooling gaps, and cross-team handoffs so engineers can keep work moving.
• Create visibility across initiatives through async updates, Jira hygiene, executive-level reporting, dashboards, program reviews, portfolio health tracking, and clear stakeholder communications.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience of relationship-building strength across cross-functional teams; you understand what partners are working on, identify ways big and small that Data Engineering can help, and help stakeholders see where they would benefit from Data Engineering support.

• The ability to operate with Agility, adapting delivery practices and priorities as business needs, technical complexity, and stakeholder requirements evolve.
• An Entrepreneurial Spirit, with the initiative to improve processes, strengthen operating rhythms, create scalable frameworks, and drive continuous improvement across Data Engineering delivery.
