Director – Data Product Hub

We are looking for a mission-driven leader, responsible for shaping the next-generation suite of reusable, discoverable data products powered by a shared semantic model.  This role offers the opportunity to build something transformational from the ground up – accelerating how we enable insights at scale and improving how clients access and consume trusted, well-governed data. 

You will play a pivotal role in evolving our data product strategy from isolated, custom-built solutions toward a unified, scalable approach.  Working at the intersection of product, engineering, and client solutions, you’ll champion a model that balances governance, agility, and transparency while helping teams unlock the full value of our data assets. 

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on leading through influence, building coalitions, and inspiring change in a high-impact, low hierarchy environment.  You will guide a cross-functional pod and collaborate closely with peers and contractors across multiple lines of business to deliver enterprise-grade data capabilities. 

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:  

• Define and lead the strategy for reusable data products mapped to a shared semantic model, ensuring alignment across domains and use cases 
• Establish a central inventory and discovery layer for data products with transparent lineage, governance, and usage tracking 
• Drive adoption and scale by shaping the foundation for consistent query patterns, reducing duplication, and enabling rapid access to trusted insights 
• Lead a cross-functional pod and coordinate contractor teams, empowering delivery through influence and strong collaboration rather than formal hierarchy 
• Partner with internal teams and clients to identify opportunities for scalable data solutions that deliver measurable value 
• Design and implement a transformation roadmap to align distributed assets with a common architecture – with a focus on opportunity, not remediation 
• Serve as an advocate for data transparency, usability, and trust, championing the benefits of interoperable data across internal and external touchpoints 
• Act as a connector and change agent, guiding others toward best practices while respectfully challenging inefficiencies or siloed approaches 
• Define success metrics and feedback loops to continuously improve platform utility, adoption, and client satisfaction 

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:  

• 12+ years of experience in data product management, data strategy, or enterprise data architecture roles 
• Demonstrated success in leading or scaling data product ecosystems using semantic layers, data catalogs, or metadata-driven approaches 
• Strong fluency with modern data platforms and familiarity with data modeling, query optimization, and access governance 
• Exceptional ability to lead cross-functional efforts without formal authority, driving results through communication, alignment, and influence 
• Comfortable navigating a flat, fast-moving environment with distributed ownership and shared accountability 
• Proven experience directing teams of contractors or matrixed contributors, with a collaborative mindset and outcome-oriented leadership style 
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate technical vision into business value 
• Experience with metadata management systems and knowledge graph platforms is a plus
