Product Owner- Databricks- Remote

The Engagement Client's Data & Analytics practice is embedded in a platform modernization initiative involving three interconnected technology layers: OMNI a next-generation embedded BI front end replacing Zoho, serving treasury dashboards directly to end-client users inside the application Databricks a production Lakehouse (Azure-native) powering all analytical pipelines across four active regions (US, Canada, UK, Australia), with isolated instances per region for GDPR compliance Public Cloud (Azure + AWS) Azure is the primary data movement layer (ADLS, ClickReplicate CDC from SQL Server); AWS hosts Postgres-based Cash Forecasting pipelines feeding into the same Databricks environment The platform serves real clients in production today and is actively scaling this is not a greenfield build; it is a maturing platform with meaningful architectural and product work ahead The Opportunity We are looking for a technically fluent Product Owner who can sit at the intersection of BI delivery, data pipeline operations, and client-facing product outcomes This is not a strategy-only role you will own the OMNI implementation backlog, coordinate across Databricks engineers, the OMNI vendor team, and GTreasury product stakeholders, and make the decisions that keep delivery moving You will be the connective tissue between what the data platform can do and what the end user experience in OMNI needs to deliver What You ll Do Product Ownership & Backlog Management Own and maintain the product backlog for the OMNI BI implementation, including semantic layer design, tenant-specific views, caching strategy, and phased rollout across client accounts Define and document acceptance criteria for OMNI-connected data stories from query behavior at the Databricks Gold layer to what the treasury dashboard renders for an end user Prioritize backlog items across competing delivery pressures (GDPR compliance per region, April-deadline optimization work, new tenant onboarding) Run sprint ceremonies, manage dependencies between Databricks engineering work and OMNI vendor deliverables, and surface blockers to engagement lead Technical Coordination & Platform Alignment Serve as the informed voice between the OMNI implementation team and the Databricks data engineering team you understand how a Gold-layer view is structured, why caching and trip-wire patterns matter for compute cost, and what tenant isolation via schema-per-tenant means for BI delivery Partner with data engineers to validate that Gold-layer data models, semantic views, and tenant ID filtering patterns are aligned to what OMNI needs to render correctly Understand the multi-cloud data movement picture: Azure SQL Server ClickReplicate CDC ADLS Databricks (GT Core); AWS Postgres ADLS Databricks (Cash Forecasting) and identify where handoffs create product risk or latency concerns Coordinate with the OMNI vendor on caching capabilities, semantic layer configuration, and query behavior (direct query vs. cached sets) to reduce unnecessary Databricks compute load Stakeholder Engagement & Client Communication Interface directly with product stakeholders (Senior Product Manager, VP Global Architecture) to align on roadmap priorities, report on delivery status, and escalate architectural decisions that require business input Translate data engineering constraints (e.g., 30-minute latency SLA, GDPR data residency requirements, cost optimization targets) into product decisions that are legible to non-technical stakeholders Represent the delivery team in client-facing sessions comfortable owning the room on sprint reviews, backlog grooming with client participants, and status readouts Governance & Compliance Awareness Maintain awareness of GDPR data residency requirements across the eight deployed regions no data crossing regional boundaries is a hard constraint, not a preference Support Unity Catalog governance decisions that affect OMNI access patterns (tenant isolation, row-level security via views, user group policies) Ensure documentation standards are upheld pipeline behavior, OMNI semantic layer definitions, and acceptance criteria must be maintained in Azure DevOps What You Bring Required 5+ years in a Product Owner, Technical Product Manager, or equivalent delivery-focused role on a data or analytics platform Demonstrated experience owning a BI implementation or analytics product you have been in the room when semantic layer decisions are made and you know how those decisions affect end users Working knowledge of cloud data platforms you understand what a medallion architecture does, why query patterns against a Gold layer matter for cost and performance, and what CDC-based ingestion looks like end to end Experience coordinating across multiple vendor and engineering teams simultaneously you know how to unblock delivery without owning every technical decision yourself Strong backlog management and sprint execution discipline acceptance criteria,
