Product Ownership: Finance Analytics

• Serve as Product Owner for the Finance analytics roadmap—owning the backlog and prioritizing data development that enables key use cases (forecasting, margin trends, ARR/churn analytics).

Innovation & Prototyping

• Collaborate with internal customers to prototype new ideas and data products, turning conceptual use cases into technical proofs-of-concept.
• Experiment with emerging technologies (e.g., AI-powered insights, automated data classification, predictive BI features) to expand the impact of the data platform.
• Identify opportunities to integrate modern capabilities into certified data workflows and communicate value back to business and technical stakeholders.

Documentation & Enablement

• Partner with the Data Governance Lead to ensure all certified data models are documented with business definitions, transformation logic, and usage guidelines.
• Contribute to the development of a centralized data catalog, and lead communications around model releases, data updates, and enablement resources.
• Promote self-service analytics by ensuring that certified data products are discoverable, well-documented, and supported by shared standards.

Release Management & Quality Assurance

• Implement and manage CI/CD processes for dbt code and model deployments (including versioning, test coverage, and rollback plans).
• Lead reviews of internal and third-party dbt projects, ensuring adherence to modeling, performance, and data governance standards.
• Continuously monitor production data assets for reliability, accuracy, and usage trends; implement refinements based on feedback and results.

Technical Leadership & Collaboration

• Influence and guide a community of analysts, engineers, and BI developers in adopting best practices for data modeling and analytics engineering.
• Lead architectural design reviews and model workshops, and provide technical mentoring on dbt, Snowflake, and semantic modeling principles.
• Coordinate and align 3rd-party implementation teams to the organization's standards and priorities.

IDEAL EXPERIENCE:

• 8+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics architecture, or BI product development.
• Deep expertise in dbt, Snowflake, and SQL, with a track record of delivering scalable dimensional data models.
• Experience leading end-to-end delivery of certified data products for consumption in Power BI or similar tools.
