About the Role

Bloomberg is seeking a highly motivated and technically astute Technical Product Owner to lead the development and evolution of our metadata infrastructure. This role is responsible for defining and driving the roadmap for core components that enable knowledge representation and delivery at scale—including data ingestion pipelines, enrichment and inference frameworks, distribution mechanisms, and (semantic) storage systems.

You will collaborate with engineering, data analysts, ontology developers, and business stakeholders to translate business needs into robust, scalable metadata solutions. You will be accountable for product strategy, technical planning, prioritization, and delivery oversight.

• Lead the design and development of modular, reusable data ingestion pipelines for various data sources.
• Partner with engineering to deliver scalable services for automated data onboarding, enrichment, profiling, and validation, supported by federation, caching, and data materialization for optimal performance.
• Implement governance capabilities to ensure metadata provenance, versioning, lineage, and compliance.
• Work cross-functionally to align platform features with developer needs, downstream consumer requirements, and enterprise strategy.
• Maintain a clear and prioritized backlog, write user stories, define acceptance criteria, and coordinate delivery in agile teams.
• Communicate platform vision, progress, and technical tradeoffs to stakeholders at all levels—from engineers to executives.
• Scope technical initiatives, balancing quick wins vs. long-term architectural investment.
• Identify key use cases across domains and translate them into functional requirements for data ingestion, enrichment, distribution, and storage layers.
• Drive architectural decisions alongside technical leads, ensuring reusability and modularity across systems.
• Evaluate and select tools, platforms, and frameworks for data infrastructure along with the engineering team
• Gather and prioritize requirements from diverse stakeholders including ontology engineers, data owners, AI teams, and product teams.
• Facilitate alignment between technical engineering teams and business domain experts to ensure our metadata is fit for purpose.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in a technical product management role
• A passion for providing reliable, scalable, and easy-to-use infrastructure
• A product-driven focus, with product management, organizational, and communication skills to effectively coordinate and work with Engineers, other Product Managers, and Senior Management
• Familiarity with agile practices and backlog grooming across cross-functional engineering teams.
• A strong technical or Engineering background and broad technical fluency
• A track record of shaping business strategy and roadmaps for technical products
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience
• Breadth of knowledge and familiarity with semantic metadata, enterprise data/metadata platforms and industry best practices and toolings
