Principal Product Manager, Data Platform in London

Position Overview: This role will own the vision and roadmap for a next‑generation data discoverability platform that makes certified data products findable, understandable, and usable for every data producer and consumer.

In This Role, You Will:

• Own and drive the vision, strategy, and multi‑year roadmap for an AI‑enhanced data catalog that makes trusted data assets searchable, understandable, and reusable across the organization.
• Define and deliver scalable data platform capabilities spanning metadata capture (schemas, lineage, data contracts), governance, discovery, and access via self‑service UIs and APIs.
• Build and evolve a data trust and certification framework, enabling users to assess dataset quality, ownership, observability, and SLAs with confidence.
• Embed AI‑driven discovery features such as semantic search, natural language query, and recommendations to improve data discoverability and reduce time to insight.
• Translate complex platform and business needs into a clear, outcome‑driven roadmap, prioritising based on impact, feasibility, and measurable results.
• Partner with engineering, data, analytics, and business teams to deliver reliable and scalable platform solutions.
• Define and track adoption and impact metrics (e.g., catalog usage, certified dataset ratio, time‑to‑find reductions, user satisfaction).
• Champion platform quality, scalability, and governance, while driving broad adoption across teams.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
• 10+ years of product management or related technology experience, including ownership of complex platform or data products.
• Experience leading data‑centric products or platforms (e.g., data catalogs, metadata systems, data quality frameworks, data contracts, analytics enablement platforms).
• Deep background in data analysis, analytics, or data engineering, with strong understanding of data ecosystems and workflows.
• Proven track record of defining and executing product strategy and roadmaps for complex, cross‑functional data platforms, with measurable business impact.
• Strong technical fluency in APIs, data modeling, and distributed systems, including experience working on always‑on data platforms and data flow architectures.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate closely with engineering and data teams to deliver technically sophisticated platform capabilities (e.g., metadata capture, lineage, discoverability tooling).
• Experience defining and driving adoption and success metrics (e.g., usage, data discoverability, time‑to‑insight, user satisfaction).
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and cross‑functional teams on prioritisation, governance, and trade‑offs, and to clearly articulate the business value of data discoverability.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience leading enterprise‑scale data platforms or data catalogs with broad adoption.
• Track record in platform governance, data quality, and self‑service enablement.
• Expertise in metadata management and data discoverability, including lineage, certification, and data contracts.
• Experience building or integrating AI/ML‑powered platform capabilities (e.g., semantic search, recommendations, NLP interfaces).
• Strong ability to influence architecture and operating models without direct authority.
• Experience using data to measure platform adoption, product health, and operational performance.
