About the role
What you'll do:
- Lead and develop the Enterprise Data delivery team, including Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers, Domain Enablement Engineers, and Data Governance specialists.
- Establish clear delivery operating rhythms for planning, prioritization, capacity management, roadmap tracking, dependency management, risk escalation, and stakeholder communication.
- Turn enterprise data strategy and business-domain priorities into sequenced, achievable delivery plans across platform onboarding, source integration, data-product delivery, semantic enablement, and governance.
- Partner with business leaders and domain stakeholders to shape intake, clarify intended outcomes, assess readiness, prioritize use cases, and establish realistic delivery expectations.
- Ensure domain work is appropriately scoped and sequenced, balancing near-term business value with the need for durable, governed, reusable data foundations.
- Coordinate delivery across Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Domain Enablement, and Data Governance; resolve dependencies and escalate decisions that require platform, architecture, security, infrastructure, or executive direction.
- Ensure team outputs meet expectations for production readiness, data quality, documentation, ownership, lineage, security, access controls, and maintainability.
- Review delivery plans, technical approaches, risks, and tradeoffs with technical leads; challenge work that creates unnecessary duplication, ungoverned data assets, or unsustainable operational burden.
- Partner with the Sr. Staff Data Engineer to align domain delivery to shared ingestion, transformation, and deployment patterns.
- Partner with the Staff Analytics Engineer to ensure domain assets align to enterprise semantic standards, metric definitions, and Gold-layer promotion expectations.
- Partner with the Platform / Data Reliability Engineer to ensure domain workloads meet platform standards for reliability, observability, cost management, environment promotion, and secure production operation.
- Partner with the Data Governance Specialist to ensure ownership, stewardship, classifications, metadata, lineage, quality expectations, and approvals are incorporated into delivery work.
- Hire, coach, develop, and retain a high-performing data team; establish role clarity, growth expectations, performance feedback, and appropriate technical leadership opportunities.
- Define and monitor practical measures of delivery health, including roadmap progress, throughput, time to enable new domains, adoption, quality trends, operational stability, and unresolved dependencies.
- Communicate delivery progress, material risks, investment needs, and tradeoffs clearly to business and technology leadership.
- Continuously improve the team’s delivery model as the enterprise data platform, domain portfolio, and organizational maturity evolve.
