Job description

Job Purpose

The Manager, Data Domain and Products is accountable for governing, coordinating, and enabling a portfolio of data domains and their associated data products, rather than owning a single domain directly.

The role ensures that domain data owners (Principal Specialists) operate within a consistent enterprise framework for data products, governance, quality, and value realization. It acts as the portfolio‑level authority, aligning domain priorities with enterprise strategy, resolving cross‑domain conflicts, and ensuring that data products are delivered as reusable, governed assets rather than siloed solutions.

This role is responsible for how data domains operate together, how data products are prioritized and standardized, and how domain outputs collectively support enterprise reporting, operations, controls, and decision‑making.

Key Accountabilities

1. Provide leadership and oversight across multiple data domains, each owned by a designated domain owner
2. Ensure domain owners apply consistent principles for data ownership, stewardship, modeling, quality, and governance.
3. Balance demand across domains by prioritizing data products based on enterprise value, regulatory need, and readiness.
4. Ensure domain data products integrate cleanly with enterprise platforms and downstream consumers.
5. Act as the primary business‑facing interface for enterprise data domains, translating strategic needs into coordinated domain roadmaps.
6. Enable domain owners to focus on execution by removing blockers, resolving dependencies, and clarifying priorities.
7. Ensure lifecycle artifacts (ownership, definitions, quality expectations, refresh SLAs) are consistently produced across domains.
8. Lead and develop domain owners, ensuring clarity of role boundaries between domain ownership and enterprise oversight.
