• Data Governance & Quality: Partner with Security and Data Governance teams to enforce data access controls, privacy regulations (LGPD/GDPR/HIPAA), data lineage, and data quality standards.
• Execution & Product Delivery: Lead agile development cycles, defining clear acceptance criteria, managing user stories, and ensuring timely delivery of data solutions.
• Adoption & Value Measurement: Track usage metrics, adoption rates, and ROI of data products to continuously optimize user engagement and business value.

Requirements:

• Experience with Databricks
• Experience specifically managing data platforms, ETL pipelines, or analytics products.
• AWS Technical Literacy: Solid understanding of the AWS data stack (S3, Redshift, Glue, EMR, Athena, QuickSight, IAM) and cloud-native data architecture patterns (Data Lake, Lakehouse, Data Mesh).
• Agile & Delivery: Strong experience leading cross-functional squads using Scrum/Kanban, backlog management tools (Jira, Linear), and defining clear user stories.
• Data Skills: Proficiency in SQL and data visualization tools, with the ability to query data directly to validate product performance and metrics.
• Business Acumen: Demonstrated track record of converting complex technical requirements into actionable business outcomes and executive-ready communications.
