Senior Technical Product Manager leading data strategy and governance initiatives in a growing fintech environment. Collaborating with Product and Analytics teams to ensure data integrity across applications.
Responsibilities
Embed Data Strategy: Partner with vertical Product Managers and Engineering leads during the design phase of new features. You will ensure that every Product Requirement Document (PRD) includes a defined data strategy—specifying exactly how data is captured, stored, and validated.
Design Review: Act as a technical reviewer for major product initiatives, asking the critical questions: "How does this change the data model? Does this create a duplicate field in core applications? How will we report on this?"
Standardization: Establish the standards for how our Product team defines data requirements, ensuring consistency in how we track loan lifecycles, customer statuses, and financial transactions across different squads.
Data Modeling: Oversee the logical data model within our Core Applications and Salesforce. You will ensure that as we scale, our schema remains clean, normalized, and efficient, preventing "tech debt" in the form of messy or redundant data fields.
Lineage & Overrides: Own the logic for Data Lineage and Data Overrides. You will define the rules for which system is the "source of truth" when data conflicts occur and ensure we have an audit trail for manual overrides in core apps.
Governance at the Source: Implement "Governance by Design" by working with Engineering to build validation rules and constraints directly into the application layer, preventing bad data from ever entering our ecosystem.
The Analytics Bridge: Serve as the primary liaison between the Product/Engineering organization and the Analytics/Data Science teams. You will ensure that upstream application changes do not break downstream reporting or AI models.
Translation: Translate complex analytical requirements (e.g., specific features needed for a risk model) into actionable engineering tickets for the Core Application teams.
Data Availability: Ensure that the data generated by our products is accessible, documented, and structured in a way that allows the Analytics team to self-serve, reducing the dependency on ad-hoc engineering support.
