The Role 

Asurion — the world’s leading connected device protection company, serving 300M+ customers — is looking for a hands-on Director of PM to own the strategy and roadmap for our Data Platform. You understand both sides: how data is produced and how it’s consumed. You know how to build the foundational infrastructure — data catalog, lineage, ingestion pipelines, access governance, and a self-service analytics layer — that turns raw data into a trusted, scalable asset. This is a high-visibility role with broad scope and the mandate to shape how the entire organization works with data. 

What You’ll Do 

• Own the Data Platform roadmap: from ingestion and pipeline orchestration to data catalog, lineage tracking, access governance, and the self-service analytics layer. 
• Define how teams onboard data to the platform — establishing contracts, SLAs, quality checks, and documentation standards that make data trustworthy at the source. 
• Drive the self-service experience — so analysts and data scientists can discover, access, and use data in tools like Databricks notebooks or Snowflake without filing tickets. 
• Partner with engineering on architecture decisions: when to use streaming vs. batch, how to structure the lakehouse, what belongs in the warehouse vs. the lake. 
• Align data engineering, analytics, data science, security, and business stakeholders around a shared platform vision. 
• Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing team of data-fluent PMs. 

What You Bring 

• 10+ years in product management, with a significant focus on data platform, infrastructure, or analytics products. 
• Fluency with the modern data stack: Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, MLflow), Snowflake, Amazon EMR/Spark, and cloud-native data services on AWS or GCP. 
• Experience building or evolving core platform capabilities: data catalog, metadata management, column-level lineage, pipeline orchestration (Airflow, dbt, or similar), RBAC, and data quality frameworks. 
• Understands the producer/consumer dynamic — knows that a great platform is as much about how data gets in as how it gets used. 
• Proven cross-functional leadership; strong communicator from the board room to the engineering standup. 
• Customer-obsessed with a strong bias for outcomes over output. 

Nice to Have 

• Experience standing up a data mesh or domain-oriented data ownership model. 
• Familiarity with ML/AI workflows and feature stores that consume platform data. 
• Background partnering with security and privacy teams on governance at scale. 

Why Asurion 

• Build at scale — petabytes of data, real-time decisions, 300M+ customers. 
• Greenfield platform scope inside a well-resourced, high-growth organization. 
• Direct influence on how every team across the company discovers and uses data. 
• Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a flexible hybrid work model. 
• Asurion is an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive environment for all employees.
