About the role

This role exists to transform fragmented, inconsistent semantic artifacts into a structured, reusable system that supports AI-enabled products and data consumption across the business. You will take ownership of a newly developed application at an early stage and drive its evolution from MVP to a usable, scalable platform. You will partner closely with Architecture, Data Stewardship, Engineering, and Product teams to ensure the platform supports the needs of multiple semantic outputs (e.g., YAML files, MCP tools, agent-based assets) while maintaining a strong focus on usability, consistency, and quality.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the product strategy and roadmap for Cotality’s Semantic Platform, aligned to enterprise priorities
• Evaluate the current MVP against user needs and define a structured plan to improve usability, coverage, and adoption
• Translate cross-functional use cases into scalable platform capabilities (not one-off solutions)
• Ensure the platform supports the capture, cataloging, and evaluation of semantic context across domains
• Establish and evolve the product-defined framework for evaluating semantic context quality (e.g., completeness, reusability, fitness for purpose)
• Partner with Architecture/Technology to align on required semantic components while ensuring platform readiness to support them
• Create and manage a clear intake and prioritization process for platform enhancements
• Drive alignment across stakeholders including Data Stewardship, Engineering, Product teams, and SMEs
• Operate effectively in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment with competing inputs and evolving requirements
• Evaluate existing platform capabilities and identify gaps in user workflows, adoption, and scalability
• Define and prioritize product enhancements to transition the platform from early-stage application to operational system
• Work with engineering teams to deliver platform features that support multiple semantic artifact outputs
• Develop frameworks and product features that enable consistent evaluation and scoring of semantic context
• Collaborate with data stewards and SMEs to ensure the platform aligns to real-world usage without owning content creation
• Facilitate cross-functional discussions to balance competing priorities and establish a clear product direction
• Monitor adoption, feedback, and usage patterns to continuously refine the product roadmap
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy in defining product direction and execution approach
• Work closely with Architecture/Technology, Data Stewardship, and Engineering to align platform capabilities
• Contribute to enterprise-wide standardization through product decisions and platform design
• Responsible for product outcomes including usability, adoption, and platform effectiveness
