The successful candidate must have sufficient technical depth to understand complex data, lead modeling and validation discussions, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and work effectively across the payment-processing lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Define the vision, strategy, roadmap, and success measures for enterprise data products and platform capabilities.
• Understand consumer needs and translate business use cases into product requirements, data requirements, business rules, and acceptance criteria.
• Lead discovery and prioritization across business, product, risk, finance, operations, analytics, governance, and technology teams.
• Develop a detailed understanding of source data, including its meaning, structure, relationships, history, quality, and system-specific variations.
• Define modeling requirements such as data grain, keys, relationships, facts, dimensions, reference data, history, derived attributes, and sources of truth.
• Partner with data modelers and engineers to design standardized, reusable data products.
• Lead source-to-target mapping and ensure attributes are traceable to source fields and transformation rules.
• Define reconciliation and validation requirements covering completeness, accuracy, timeliness, historical coverage, coded values, and downstream usability.
• Shape platform capabilities for batch, file-based, streaming, API, and change-data-capture ingestion.
• Define requirements for file processing, schema validation, transformation, exception handling, incremental processing, monitoring, and reconciliation.
• Define how data is organized across raw, standardized, curated, semantic, and consumption layers.
• Shape governed data sharing through tables, files, APIs, events, streams, analytical products, and secure data-sharing mechanisms.
• Embed data quality, metadata, lineage, classification, privacy, security, access, and governance into product design.
• Apply payments knowledge across merchant, partner, authorization, settlement, refund, chargeback, pricing, risk, fraud, and revenue data.
• Communicate priorities, dependencies, risks, trade-offs, and outcomes to senior stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Significant product-management experience with enterprise data, data-platform, or similarly complex technical products.
• Experience defining product strategy, roadmaps, requirements, priorities, and measurable outcomes.
• Strong understanding of data modeling, source-to-target mapping, reconciliation, validation, lineage, and data quality.
• Understanding of batch, streaming, file-based, API, and change-data-capture patterns.
• Knowledge of data lakes, lakehouses, cloud warehouses, transformation layers, orchestration, observability, and governed consumption.
• Working knowledge of AWS, Snowflake, Apache Iceberg, Kafka, dbt, and Airflow, or comparable technologies.
• Strong SQL proficiency for exploring data, validating mappings, and investigating anomalies.
• Strong knowledge of payment processing and the end-to-end transaction lifecycle.
• Experience with payment and processor data.
• Strong communication, prioritization, stakeholder-management, and influencing skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with merchant acquiring or multiple payment processors.
• Experience modernizing fragmented or legacy data environments.
• Experience delivering data products for analytics, applications, risk, data science, or AI.
• Familiarity with PCI, sensitive-data handling, and regulated environments.
