Platform or infrastructure product strategy driven in close partnership with Engineering, hands-on in architecture and schema design. Hands-on production experience with data collection platforms (tag management, web data-layer, CDP-style), and the judgment to evaluate and choose between them. Experience defining enterprise data contracts, schema registries, and governance standards in multi-producer, multi-consumer environments. A track record of building new structures or capabilities in high-ambiguity, precedent-free environments, not just enduring them. Proven ability to influence roadmap and investment decisions without direct authority across multiple organizations. Experience mentoring multiple PMs across teams, with demonstrated impact on their judgment or trajectory. Fluency with AI tools in your own work, and a track record of raising that bar across the PMs you influence. Familiarity with the modern cloud data stack and how collection quality and schema choices affect downstream analytics, ML, and BI. Proficiency in SQL and/or Python for data validation, schema verification, and troubleshooting. Executive-level communicator, equally clear with engineers and senior leaders, who resolves disagreements through reasoning, not rank. Preferred Qualifications Data observability experience: monitoring pipelines for quality, freshness, schema drift, and anomalies. Experience evaluating or leading enterprise technology transitions: build-vs-buy, platform migration, and the change management involved. Familiarity with downstream ML and AI data requirements: what makes collected data usable as training signal or feature input. Strong grasp of data governance, privacy, and consent (GDPR, CCPA) and how regulation shapes collection architecture.
