Organizational & People Leadership

• Lead, mentor, and scale multiple teams spanning product-focused data engineers, analytics engineers, and software engineering managers
• Define org design, career frameworks, performance expectations, and succession planning across product-aligned teams
• Build a strong engineering culture emphasizing product ownership, data modeling rigor, quality, reliability, and continuous improvement
• Drive strategic hiring and workforce planning aligned with product roadmaps and AI initiatives

Strategic Delivery & Execution

• Own end-to-end delivery of product analytics, AI data, and dimensional data platform initiatives across multiple product areas
• Translate product, AI, and engineering strategy into multi-year data architecture and modeling roadmaps
• Balance customer-facing product enablement, platform scalability, reliability, and technical debt reduction
• Ensure predictable delivery, operational excellence, and strong cross-functional execution with product engineering teams

Technical Leadership & Architecture Oversight

• Provide executive technical leadership for product data pipelines, ETL/ELT workflows, real-time data flows, and AI data foundations
• Establish and enforce enterprise dimensional data modeling standards, including:
  • Fact and dimension table design
  • Star and snowflake schemas
  • Conformed dimensions and shared metrics
• Guide teams on data grain definition, surrogate keys, and slowly changing dimensions (SCD Types 1, 2, and hybrid patterns)
• Ensure analytical and AI datasets are consistent, explainable, and reusable across products and domains
• Partner with Principal and Senior Principal Engineers to define long-term product data, analytics, and AI platform architecture

Product, Analytics & AI Enablement

• Collaborate deeply with Product Management and Product Engineering to embed well-modeled data into product design and delivery
• Ensure product event instrumentation and telemetry align to clear fact tables and dimensional structures supporting experimentation and AI
• Enable AI-powered product experiences by overseeing clean, historical, and well-grained dimensional datasets for model training, inference, and feedback loops
• Champion self-service analytics and AI enablement through trusted, documented, and semantically consistent data products

Data Quality, Reliability & Governance

• Establish enterprise-wide standards for data quality, testing, observability, and reliability, with dimensional modeling as a foundation
• Ensure monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes protect critical fact tables, dimensions, and downstream metrics
• Lead resolution of complex, cross-domain data issues impacting customer-facing features, analytical correctness, or AI outcomes
• Partner with security, privacy, and compliance teams to ensure responsible use of product data, lineage, and access controls

About the Team

You will join a highly collaborative, global product engineering organization (US , Canada and India) focused on enabling product intelligence and AI-driven insights at scale.
