In parallel, the role leads the product function for data and AI governance, building the technical components that enable governance operations and compliance to run at enterprise scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the product strategy, roadmap, and adoption of our Enterprise Data Platform and Data & AI Governance capabilities.

• Lead portfolio prioritization and the evolution toward persistent, outcome-driven product teams.
• Build and develop multidisciplinary teams across Product, Analytics, Delivery, Communications, and Content Engineering.
• Partner with senior leaders across Technology, Data & Analytics, Risk, Compliance, Privacy, and Security to align strategy, investments, and measurable outcomes.

• Demonstrated experience establishing product operating models and leading organizational transformation.
• Experience managing enterprise-scale technology platforms, data products, or shared technology capabilities.
• Demonstrated experience applying product management to a platform or shared-services environment: defining personas, designing for user experience, driving self-service and adoption, and managing internal customers whose needs range from non-technical consumers to expert engineers and data scientists.
• Strong understanding of modern product management, agile practices, portfolio management, and technology delivery.
• Proven ability to influence and align senior executives and cross-functional leaders without relying solely on direct organizational authority.
• Experience translating complex technical capabilities into customer, business, and executive-level outcomes.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and lead through significant organizational and technological change.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with enterprise data platforms, cloud platforms, data engineering, analytics, governance, or AI/ML ecosystems.
