With a wide variety of people, global locations, technologies and products, 3M is a place where you can collaborate with other curious, creative 3Mers.

This position provides an opportunity to transition from other private, public, government or military experience to a 3M career.

Your Skills and Expertise

As a Senior Product Manager, Data Platforms , you will operate at the intersection of platform engineering, data product teams, and business stakeholders. You will treat the enterprise data platform as a product-not a project-owning strategy, outcomes, adoption, and value realization.

You will make an impact by:

• Defining and evolving the product vision and roadmap for 3M's enterprise data platform ecosystem, spanning next-generation lakehouse architectures (AWS, Iceberg) and legacy platforms (Snowflake, Teradata, SAP HANA, SQL Server).
• Balancing modernization and innovation with the stability, optimization, and rationalization of existing platforms.
• Owning the end-to-end lifecycle of platform capabilities, from intake and prioritization through delivery, adoption, and measurable value realization.
• Serving as the single-threaded owner for data platform priorities, trade-offs, and sequencing across engineering, data product teams, and business stakeholders.
• Driving platform adoption through clear value propositions, defined "golden paths," and improved developer and analyst experiences.
• Establishing and tracking success metrics , including platform adoption, reliability SLAs, cost efficiency, data quality, and time-to-deliver data products.
• Partnering with architecture and governance teams to define and enforce platform standards , including medallion patterns, data contracts, security layers, and policy-as-code practices.
• Identifying opportunities to decommission, consolidate, and optimize platforms and workloads to reduce cost and complexity.
• Producing executive-ready artifacts , including monthly platform health and value reports and CIO-level narratives on progress and business impact.

What You'll Build

• A clear, opinionated 12-24 month platform product roadmap
• A repeatable intake, demand management, and prioritization model
• A platform adoption playbook for data product and domain teams
• A value realization framework tied directly to enterprise outcomes
• Ongoing executive reporting on platform health, adoption, and ROI
