The Manager, Data Strategy will help Enterprise Finance treat data as a strategic asset by defining, coordinating, and advancing a coherent data strategy and data product approach that enables analytics, reporting, and AI use cases at enterprise scale. This role sits within the Data & AI Strategy & Governance portfolio and partners across Finance and Technology to translate business priorities into a clear strategy, roadmap, and measurable outcomes. This is a cross-functional role operating at the intersection of business stakeholders and data/technology teams, focused on improving the usability and value of shared data assets through clear strategy, prioritization, and adoption.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in data strategy, data product management, analytics strategy, program management, or a related role in a complex enterprise environment.
• Demonstrated experience creating roadmaps and translating business needs into structured initiatives, requirements, and execution plans.
• Strong stakeholder management skills; ability to work across business and technical teams to drive alignment and outcomes.
• Analytical and structured problem-solving skills, including comfort with ambiguity and the ability to define “what good looks like” for data initiatives.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with “data as a product” practices, including defining internal data consumers, adoption goals, and ongoing lifecycle ownership.
• Familiarity with enterprise data management concepts (e.g., metadata/ catalog, quality expectations, standardized definitions) and how they enable scalable analytics.
• Finance domain familiarity (e.g., planning, reporting, performance management) and comfort operating in environments with heightened control expectations.

Responsibilities

• Data Strategy & Roadmap Develop and maintain a data strategy roadmap that aligns data initiatives with business goals, accounts for dependencies, and evolves through continuous iteration as needs change.
• Partner with stakeholders to identify high‑value opportunities where improved data availability, consistency, or productization will accelerate decision‑making and reduce friction for teams.
• Define success measures and track progress using meaningful metrics (e.g., adoption, usability, reliability, and business outcomes where applicable).
• Data Product Strategy (Defining “What we’re building” and “How it’s used”) Help define and communicate clear data product concepts, including intended consumers, usage patterns, and lifecycle expectations (e.g., documentation, reliability, discoverability, and interoperability).
• Translate business needs into actionable product requirements and collaborate with engineering/ architecture partners to shape feasible delivery plans.
• Drive internal adoption by ensuring data products are understandable and usable for intended consumers (training, enablement materials, feedback loops).
• Cross‑Functional Alignment & Execution Enablement Serve as a connector between Finance stakeholders and technical teams to align on priorities, sequencing, and tradeoffs while maintaining clarity on scope and expected value.
• Coordinate work across related functions (e.g., data governance, data engineering, analytics enablement) to reduce duplication and improve consistency in shared data assets and definitions.
• Contribute to portfolio-level governance by supporting decision forums with clear options, risks, impacts, and recommended paths forward.
• Standards, Quality, and “Fitness for Use” (in partnership with Governance) Partner with Data Governance and other control stakeholders to ensure data strategy and data products align with enterprise expectations for security, compliance, and appropriate use.
• Incorporate pragmatic expectations for data quality, documentation, and stewardship so that products remain trusted and support repeatable decision processes.
