Résumé du poste

Digitalt3 is seeking an experienced Product Owner for a long-term, full-time engagement. This is a 100% remote role based in the USA or Canada and requires 10+ years in product ownership.

You will own a complex backlog spanning ingestion, Bronze/Silver/Gold data layers, data quality, and ontology work, translating business outcomes into epics and acceptance criteria for engineers and QA. Collaborate with LoB champions, set priorities, and drive validation and migration activities to ensure

Qualifications

• 10+ years as a product owner or equivalent.
• Experience migrating or modernizing a legacy warehouse with large-scale logic conversion.
• Grounding in dimensional modelling, semantic layers, and ontology/knowledge-graph concepts.
• Strong written specifications with testable acceptance criteria.
• Able to say no to scope and defend technical decisions to stakeholders.
• Insurance or regulated-data experience; CSPO/PSPO advantageous.

Responsabilités

• Own a single prioritized backlog spanning ingestion, Bronze/Silver/Gold build, stored-procedure conversion, semantic and ontology work, and data quality.
• Translate business outcomes into epics, user stories and acceptance criteria for engineers and QA.
• Set and defend priority order by business value, dependency and risk; manage scope, date and quality trade-offs.
• Maintain a rolling 2-3 sprint ready backlog per pod; accept or reject completed work against acceptance criteria.
• Lead rationalization deliverables and present top reports to LoB for confirmation.
• Own the current-state to target-state mapping and migration validation activities.

Description du poste

Contract Type: Full-Time (40 hrs/week - long-term engagement)

Location: 100% Remote (Based in USA/Canada)

Experience: 10+ years as a product owner or equivalent

Core responsibilities

Product ownership and backlog

• Own a single prioritized backlog spanning ingestion, Bronze/Silver/Gold build, stored-procedure conversion, semantic and ontology work, and data quality.
• Translate business outcomes into epics, user stories and acceptance criteria that engineers can build against and QA can test against.
• Set and defend priority order - by business value, dependency and risk - and make trade-offs explicit when scope, date and quality collide.
• Maintain a rolling 2-3 sprint ready backlog per pod; accept or reject completed work against acceptance criteria.

Requirements and rationalization

• Run the rationalization deliverable to a concrete definition: what percentage of reports and procedures counts as “done”, what evidence supports the cut, and who signs off.
• Lead the bottom-up, usage-based approach - present each line of business with “here is your world, here are your top 25 reports” and take confirmation, rather than open requirements gathering across 1,600 users.
• Own the current-state to target-state mapping: which flows map to Bronze, Silver and Gold, and which legacy artefacts are retired rather than converted.

Technical depth

• Work fluently with engineers on medallion design, conformance rules, SCD handling, data contracts, schema evolution and lineage.
• Understand the stored-procedure conversion approaches well enough to prioritize them: AI-assisted generation, parser/rule-based (SQLGlot, ANTLR, Calcite), template-based for repeated patterns, and manual re-engineering for tightly coupled logic.
• Drive the early proof: convert one simple, one medium and one complex procedure end to end (analyse, design, convert, test), bucket the remainder by similarity, and use the results to size the factory.
• Own the definition of done for data assets: reconciliation passed, data quality expectations met, lineage captured, documentation published.

Validation and quality

• Define validation criteria up front with each line of business – the reports, balances and metrics that must reconcile before sign-off – so nothing surfaces for the first time at UAT.
• Own source-to-target reconciliation and parallel-run acceptance with QA; ensure audit balance controls and data quality expectations are specified as requirements, not retrofitted.
• Serve as the business-facing owner for defect triage and prioritization during migration and hypercare.

Stakeholder engagement

• Act as the standing interface between LoB champions and the pods; run backlog reviews, demos and release communications.
• Sequence visible early value - semantic model and natural-language access for one LoB - to sustain business confidence during a multi-year build.

Qualifications

• 10+ years as a product owner or equivalent
• Demonstrated experience migrating or modernizing a legacy warehouse, including large-scale logic conversion and parallel-run validation.
• Practical grounding in dimensional modelling, semantic layers, and ideally ontology or knowledge-graph concepts.
• Strong written specification skills: acceptance criteria that are testable, unambiguous and traceable to a business outcome.
• Comfortable saying no to scope, and credible enough technically that engineers and business stakeholders both accept the answer.
• Insurance or regulated-industry data experience preferred; CSPO, PSPO or equivalent an advantage.
