Owns the translation of roadmap and product definitions into executable work across Data Products &

- Analytics, Platform Engineering, and Data Science/ML. Makes execution predictable through better artifacts, not more process — usable epics, cross-board visibility, and a tight program rhythm. Does not direct PE or DS sprint work, is not a status-tracking role, and carries this as an individual contributor.

Scope: Owns epic quality, cross-board visibility, and the DP&A; program rhythm across the DP&A;, DS, and PE boards, working as an individual contributor. Reports to the Senior Director, Data Products &

- Analytics.

Essential Job Functions: Convert roadmap items and product definitions into epics sized for DS and PE sprint planning

Draft independently, then iterate with technical leads before work goes on a board

Own epic structure, acceptance criteria, sequence, and dependencies — implementation detail stays with technical leads

Hold a Ready-to-Execute standard: three clarifying questions means the epic wasn’t ready

Track active work across the DP&A;, DS, and PE boards; give a coherent picture of what’s in flight, blocked, or at risk

Identify sequencing conflicts and cross-team dependencies before they become sprint blockers

Own the Jira process and sprint cadence for the Data Products &

- Analytics team

Facilitate planning, review, and retro ceremonies — decision-oriented, not status-reporting exercises

Manage the backlog so what’s in Jira reflects what the team is actually trying to do

Set the standard for epic and process quality that other contributors follow across DP&A; — without a reporting relationship

Qualifications / Skills / Knowledge: Required Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field

- Agile/Scrum or PMP certification a plus

7+ years in program or project management within a data or software delivery context, with deep hands‑on ownership (people-management experience not required)

Program management depth — knows what makes an epic actually usable

Technical grounding without engineering scope — enough to draft an epic a senior engineer can work from, pending iteration

Cross-functional operating instincts — visibility across teams they don’t control, without creating overhead

Jira fluency as a process designer,



not just a user — board structure, epic standards, a backlog tied to real priorities

Strong written communication — artifacts clear enough to act on without a meeting

Influence without authority — holds others to a quality standard (e.g., Ready-to-Execute) with no reporting relationship

Exposure to data, analytics, or ML delivery environments

Authority / Decision Making: Authority To Set the epic and Ready-to-Execute standard for DP&A; work

Own the DP&A; Jira process, board structure, and sprint cadence

Sequence work and flag cross-team dependencies and program risks
