About the role

This role provides an opportunity to transition from other private, public, government, or military experience to a 3M career. The ideal candidate will act as the strategic bridge between enterprise business functions, data engineering and AI enablement – shaping a globally scalable portfolio of data products measured through Outcome-Driven Metrics and aligned with enterprise governance, FinOps and AI risk frameworks.

Responsibilities

• Define the vision and strategic roadmap for Enterprise domain data products (Finance, HR, IT, Legal) in alignment with enterprise data strategy, platform capabilities and business value streams.
• Establish consistent standards for data product management across enterprise domains, including data contracts, backlog prioritization and Outcome-Driven Metrics for value measurement.
• Identify opportunities for technology-driven improvements and innovations within Finance, HR, IT operations and Legal functions – including AI/ML-ready data products and self-service analytics.
• Partner with Data Engineering and Platform teams to ensure data products are scalable, secure, interoperable across domains, and discoverable through the enterprise data marketplace.
• Translate enterprise priorities into clear, actionable domain product roadmaps that balance innovation, compliance, and technical sustainability – with particular attention to cross-domain dependencies and shared data assets.
• Oversee the enterprise data product portfolio: lifecycle management (creation, updates, maintenance, retirement), investment planning and roadmap execution for cross-domain and shared data assets.
• Prioritize across domains based on business value, readiness, and capacity – using intake, ITOC and BRM processes; apply Outcome-Driven Metrics and cost attribution to guide strategic investment decisions.
• Ensure product roadmaps integrate with the broader Data Platform architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold, Iceberg/S3, Glue, Lake Formation, Snowflake, Power BI) and support modularity, interoperability and reuse.
• Define and track KPIs: adoption rate, data product usage, cost-to-serve, cycle time, ROI metrics and data contract compliance; apply FinOps principles for transparency across the enterprise portfolio.
• Drive cross-domain collaboration and dependency management to maximize reuse, avoid duplication, and enable data products that serve multiple business units simultaneously.
• Embed governance, AI risk reviews, and data contract enforcement into the data product lifecycle – ensuring every product is certified for reuse through formal contracts with defined SLAs, quality expectations and usage rights.
• Ensure adherence to data quality, metadata, lineage, and FinOps standards – with particular focus on sensitivity of HR and Legal data; implement data product observability for pipeline health monitoring.
• Partner with Security, Risk and Compliance teams to ensure all products meet global regulatory requirements; design and maintain federated governance models balancing central policy with domain autonomy.
• Advocate for product reusability, domain ownership, self-service enablement, and data product discoverability; collaborate with platform team to deliver self-service tools for domain teams.
• Build strong relationships with enterprise domain leaders across Finance, HR, IT and Legal functions and their respective IT counterparts – aligning priorities, co-defining data product requirements and validating ODMs.
• Represent the enterprise data products portfolio at executive steering committees and enterprise planning sessions;
• Communicate the business impact of data investments in measurable terms – connecting analytics outcomes to operational and financial KPIs;
• Lead change management initiatives for operating model transformation.

• Familiarity with FinOps, AI Risk, Data Governance frameworks, and federated governance models; experience designing governance that balances central policy with domain autonomy;
• Demonstrated ability to translate business strategies into technical data solutions and measurable value delivery; experience with cost attribution, FinOps, and total cost of ownership analysis;
• Skilled communicator able to influence senior business and technical leaders in a matrixed global organization; proficiency in value storytelling, C-level presentations, and building business cases;
