Day in the Life

You’ll begin your day by reviewing data products performance and reliability signals across your portfolio – usage and adoption trends, data quality scores, pipeline SLAs/SLOs, and customer feedback. You’ll meet with internal customers to connect business outcomes to clear data products objectives, refining priorities to unlock measurable value.

When EMEA‑specific regulatory constraints (e.g., GDPR) arise, you’ll partner with Legal, Security, and HR to chart compliant pathways that keep delivery moving.

You will work with data engineering, platform, architecture and governance teams to clarify data contracts, schemas, lineage, and access models, ensuring every increment is production‑ready and governed by design. You’ll groom the roadmap and backlog, decomposing epics, sharpening acceptance criteria, and balancing new capabilities with technical debt, observability, and cost optimization. You’ll demo recent increments, capture user feedback, and turn it into testable stories that improve usability, trust, and performance. You’ll brief sponsors on value realized and present investment options for the next phases.

On a monthly rhythm, you’ll coordinate with global data and architecture forums to reuse patterns, converge on standards, and ensure EMEA needs are represented in the enterprise roadmap.

As a champion of the data strategy & enablement team, you will drive adoption through excellent product experience – discoverability in the catalog, clear documentation, and dependable service levels that help teams self‑serve trustworthy, governed data at scale.

The Role

Reporting to the Data Strategy & Enablement Sr Manager, the EMEA Data Product Manager & Owner is accountable end‑to‑end for strategy and day‑to‑day delivery of data products: Vision → Roadmap → Backlog → Release → Adoption → Value.

• Value & metrics: Establish VIPs/KPIs/OKRs (adoption, time‑to‑data, data trust, NPS, ROI); run quarterly value reviews, iterate the roadmap based on evidence.
• Data governance by design: Embed privacy, security, quality, and lifecycle controls (policies, lineage, access models, retention, auditability) into every increment, ensure GDPR compliance and data residency adherence.
• Data contracts & semantics: Maintain versioned schemas and contracts, define business rules and semantic layers that ensure interoperability across domains.
• Platform leverage & reusability: Reuse enterprise platforms, patterns, and reference architectures, drive reusability and scale across markets while meeting country‑specific requirements.

• Incident, risk & release management: Triage issues, lead RCA, and prioritize preventative fixes, plan releases and change controls, coordinate rollbacks/hotfixes where needed.
• Enablement & adoption: Publish documentation, examples, and learning paths, champion catalog discoverability, access requests, and community channels.
• Financial stewardship: Own product budgets/forecasts, track benefits realization and ROI, report performance and outcomes to sponsors and Finance partners.
• Global alignment: Partner with global product, platform, and architecture teams to align roadmaps, share learnings, and represent EMEA needs and impact.
