• Translate business needs into reusable, governed domain data products
• Partner with business sponsors, architects, engineers, and governance teams to deliver domain capabilities
• Support management of the domain backlog, release priorities, and product acceptance criteria
• Ensure the domain supports end-to-end business processes, not just individual systems or datasets
• Lead tracer testing across real business transactions to validate data quality, handoffs, identifiers, and usability
• Drive adoption across operational applications, reporting, analytics, self-service, and AI capabilities
• Establish quality, governance, privacy, and control requirements within the product lifecycle

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex data topics in clear business language
• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity while driving measurable outcomes

What makes you stand out?
