Manager – Engineering - Enterprise Data Platform

As a Data Engineering Manager within the Enterprise Data Platform team at PitchBook, you will lead a team of skilled data engineers responsible for building and optimizing data pipelines, managing large-scale data models, and ensuring the quality, availability, and performance of enterprise data assets. This leadership role combines technical depth, strategic thinking, and people management to enable PitchBook’s data-driven decision-making and analytics capabilities.

You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional partners across Technology & Engineering, Product, Sales, Marketing, Research, Finance, and Administration to deliver robust, scalable data solutions. The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader with a strong background in modern data platforms, cloud architecture, and team development—someone passionate about empowering teams and improving data capabilities across the organization. A core part of this role is shaping an analytics environment that is built for AI agents as much as for people. Our analysts, executives and AI agents should all query the same governed, documented, well-described data and get the same answers. You will lead the team to make that real, with semantic layers, governed metrics, rich metadata, agent-safe access, and evaluation of agent output, and in using agents to build faster and with higher quality.

This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership role: you will guide architectural decisions, mentor engineers, collaborate with cross-functional leaders, and contribute to building next-generation data and AI capabilities at PitchBook. You will exhibit a growth mindset, be willing to solicit feedback, engage others with empathy, and help create a culture of belonging, teamwork, and purpose. If you love leading a team of passionate data engineers, building data-centric solutions, strive for excellence every day, are adaptable and focused, and believe work should be fun, come join us!
