You're someone who looks ahead, communicates clearly, and moves decisively through ambiguity-driving alignment and execution across global, cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities

Proven ownership of complex data products or systems with measurable outcomes (strong "I did" examples).
Ability to drive results across cross-functional teams (engineering, data science, design, and business stakeholders) through influence without formal authority.
Strong communication and listening skills; able to distill complex topics into crisp narratives for diverse audiences.
Pragmatic technical fluency with modern data technologies and ecosystems (ADLS, Microsoft Fabric, or similar a plus).
Experience operating in a global, highly matrixed environment and aligning partners across geographies and time zones.
Experience with agile development practices, methodologies, and tools.
Track record shipping platform-level capabilities (not just features) and raising quality standards through clear definitions of "excellent."
