GoodLeap is also proud to support our award-winning nonprofit, GivePower, which is building and deploying life-saving water and clean electricity systems, changing the lives of more than 1.6 million people across Africa, Asia, and South America.

We are seeking a Principal Product Manager – Data Platform to define and lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution of GoodLeap’s enterprise data platform. This is a pivotal leadership role responsible for enabling secure, scalable, and self-service data infrastructure that empowers teams across engineering, analytics, operations, and business units.

You will play a critical role in driving GoodLeap’s evolution into a truly data-driven organization. This includes building trust in data through governance and cataloging, enabling compliant data sharing in regulated environments, and promoting modern platform capabilities that unlock value for both internal teams and customers. You’ll partner deeply with cross-functional leaders across all departments of the organization.

If you have a deep understanding of modern data architectures and platforms (without needing to be an engineer), a passion for scalable product thinking, and a strong track record of hands-on product execution, this is the opportunity to help shape the foundation of data at GoodLeap.

Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities

Lead the vision, strategy, and roadmap for GoodLeap’s enterprise data platform — aligning priorities across data engineering, analytics, business, and governance stakeholders
Champion the concept of Data as a Product, promoting reusable, well-documented, and discoverable data assets with clear ownership and lifecycle management
Partner with data engineering and analytics teams to support scalable, modern data infrastructure — while owning product strategy, user requirements, and success metrics
Drive key platform initiatives such as data ingestion, pipeline orchestration, data modeling and transformation, and real-time access, using tools like Databricks, Fivetran, and Spark.
Define and manage the product strategy for data governance and compliance capabilities — supporting regulatory requirements like PCI, CCPA, and FCRA
Lead the implementation and adoption of data cataloging and metadata solutions (e.g., Unity Catalog, Altan) to improve data discoverability, lineage, and documentation across domains
Collaborate closely with business stakeholders (e.g., Compliance, Risk, Finance, and Ops) to ensure the data platform supports their evolving needs with high trust and transparency
Create detailed product requirement documents, user stories, and technical specifications for integrations, data onboarding, and data product initiatives
Monitor platform usage, establish SLAs, and define success metrics to drive adoption and continuous improvement
Promote a culture of data stewardship and cross-functional ownership to improve data quality, usability, and reliability

Required Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities

10+ years of product management or related experience, with at least 4+ years focused on data platform, infrastructure, or enterprise data products
Deep familiarity with the modern data stack, such as Databricks or Snowflake, Airflow, DBT, Fivetran/Airbyte, Spark, Redshift, BigQuery
Experience implementing data cataloging tools (e.g., Altan, Alation, Collibra, Unity Catalog) and defining data governance processes
Demonstrated understanding of data architecture concepts, such as data lakes, warehouse modeling, ELT patterns, and real-time streaming — with the ability to communicate effectively with technical teams without owning architecture directly
Hands-on experience writing clear and actionable requirements for data platform features, including integrations, pipelines, access controls, and internal data products
Prior experience working in regulated environments (e.g., finance, lending), with strong knowledge of PCI, CCPA, SOC2, and other compliance considerations
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills — equally comfortable engaging with technical leads and executive-level business stakeholders
Exceptional organizational, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills; able to manage ambiguity and drive decisions in complex environments
A passion for building platform products that empower others, foster autonomy, and deliver long-term leverage across teams
