The Data Technical Program Manager leads an enterprise-scale data program that enables scalable, trusted, and actionable data across the organization. This role owns end-to-end program execution, stakeholder alignment, and delivery outcomes across data engineering, analytics, and business teams. It is accountable for program-level outcomes and governance across multiple workstreams rather than day-to-day project execution.

• Drive measurable adoption and value from data platforms and analytics capabilities.
• Proactively manage and communicate program risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs.
• Provide leadership with clear visibility into progress, outcomes, and key decisions.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
• Own delivery of multiple interrelated data initiatives using modern data architectures (e.g., Medallion).
• Serve as the primary program interface for business, IT, and executive stakeholders.
• Drive roadmap planning, milestone execution, and dependency management.
• Establish program standards, governance, and operating cadence.
• Oversee program budgets, resourcing, and forecasts.
• Identify and mitigate risks; implement corrective actions as needed.
• Communicate status, risks, and outcomes to senior and executive leadership.
• Coordinate and govern onboarding of new entities and attributes in Snowflake using the Medallion framework across multiple projects.
• Manage cross-team dependencies and prioritization to prevent downstream delivery blockers.
• Define and enforce standard operating procedures and release gates to support a single version of the truth across data warehouse efforts.
• Drive enablement by ensuring documentation and training are available and adopted so delivery teams adhere to standards.
QUALIFICATIONS
• 5–8+ years leading enterprise-scale data programs.
• Experience with modern data platforms (cloud, Snowflake, ETL/ELT pipelines).
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Proven success delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives at scale.
CORE COMPETENCIES
Enterprise Program Leadership
• Leads complex, multi-workstream data programs with clear accountability for outcomes
• Balances scope, speed, quality, and risk to meet enterprise priorities
Strategic Planning and Execution
• Translates business strategy into executable data roadmaps
• Aligns teams around milestones, dependencies, and delivery commitments
Stakeholder and Executive Management
• Establishes trust and credibility with senior leaders
• Communicates tradeoffs, risks, and decisions clearly and concisely
Delivery Governance and Standards
• Continue refining and enforce program-level standards, SOPs, and release gates
• Ensure consistent delivery and a single source of truth across data and analytics initiatives
Financial and Resource Management
• Oversees program budgets, forecasts, and capacity planning
• Optimizes resource allocation to maximize value delivery.
Technology and Data Fluency
