Job description

The Data Product Manager owns the delivery and success of one or more of NVA’s data products, working hand-in-hand with business partners to co‑own the product roadmap and ensure the product serves clinical, operational, growth, or financial needs. Reporting to the Director of Data Products, the Data Product Manager sets priorities for their product together with their POD (product-oriented delivery team), collaborates with business product owners, Data Engineering, BI/Analytics, AI, and Data Governance to drive delivery, and actively champions adoption of the product with business partners. This is an individual-contributor role focused on turning business needs into trusted, high-quality, widely used data products that are aligned to NVA’s broader data strategy and deliver measurable business value.

What You’ll Be Doing (Key Responsibilities):

· Co‑own the roadmap for your assigned data product(s) together with business partners, translating their needs and priorities into a clear, sequenced product backlog.

· Partner with business product owners and domain stakeholders to define product requirements, success criteria, and acceptance criteria for each release.

· Manage stakeholder expectations on scope, timing, and trade‑offs for your product, communicating status, risks, and decisions clearly and proactively.

· Collaborate with Data Engineering to ensure your product is built on reliable, scalable data pipelines and platform architecture, and to sequence delivery within POD capacity.

· Work with BI/Analytics and AI teams to incorporate reporting, self‑serve analytics, and AI/ML capabilities into your product where they add value.

· Partner with Data Governance to ensure your product meets standards for data quality, definitions, lineage, and compliance, and aligns to NVA’s broader data strategy.

· Define and track the metrics that measure your product’s success—adoption, data quality, business impact, and time-to-value—and use them to guide priorities.

· Drive the end-to-end delivery of your data product—from discovery and definition through build, testing, launch, and iteration—removing blockers and keeping stakeholders informed.

· Promote and champion adoption of your product with business partners through demos, enablement, documentation, and ongoing support, actively driving usage.

· Gather and synthesize user feedback, monitor product performance, and continuously improve the product to better serve business needs.

· Stay current on data product management practices, tooling, and emerging technology (including AI), and apply them to improve how your product is built and adopted.

Minimum Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (Qualifications):

· Track record of delivering data or analytics products end to end—from requirements through launch and adoption—with demonstrated business impact.

· Working familiarity with modern data platforms and analytics tools (e.g., data lake/lakehouse architectures, Azure/Fabric, Snowflake, Power BI) and how data engineering, BI, AI, and governance come together to deliver data products.

· Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to partner with business owners, align cross‑functional teams, and manage expectations on scope and timing.

· Strong analytical and product‑thinking skills; ability to translate ambiguous business needs into clear data product requirements and actionable roadmaps for both technical and non‑technical audiences.

· Preferred: Product management certification (e.g., Pragmatic Institute, SAFe Product Owner / Product Manager)

· Preferred: Relevant data platform or analytics certification (e.g., Azure, Snowflake, Power BI)
