The Sr. Manager will establish effective delivery rhythms, guide domain prioritization, manage capacity and dependencies, and ensure that business needs are translated into clear, appropriately scoped work for the Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Domain Enablement, and Data Governance functions.\nThe role requires substantial data and analytics depth to assess delivery approaches, challenge unclear requirements, make appropriate tradeoffs, and ensure that the team produces durable, governed, production-ready outcomes rather than one-off reporting solutions.\nThe Sr. Manager partners closely with the Sr. Director of Enterprise Data & Architecture on strategy, operating model, investment priorities, executive engagement, and cross-functional alignment. The role partners with Platform Engineering and Enterprise Architecture, which remain direct functions of the Sr. Director, to ensure domain delivery is built on secure, reliable, scalable enterprise foundations.\nWhat you'll do:\nLead and develop the Enterprise Data delivery team, including Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers, Domain Enablement Engineers, and Data Governance specialists. \nEstablish clear delivery operating rhythms for planning, prioritization, capacity management, roadmap tracking, dependency management, risk escalation, and stakeholder communication. \nTurn enterprise data strategy and business-domain priorities into sequenced, achievable delivery plans across platform onboarding, source integration, data-product delivery, semantic enablement, and governance. \nPartner with business leaders and domain stakeholders to shape intake, clarify intended outcomes, assess readiness, prioritize use cases, and establish realistic delivery expectations. \nEnsure domain work is appropriately scoped and sequenced, balancing near-term business value with the need for durable, governed, reusable data foundations. \nCoordinate delivery across Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Domain Enablement, and Data Governance; resolve dependencies and escalate decisions that require platform, architecture, security, infrastructure, or executive direction. \nEnsure team outputs meet expectations for production readiness, data quality, documentation, ownership, lineage, security, access controls, and maintainability. \nReview delivery plans, technical approaches, risks, and tradeoffs with technical leads; challenge work that creates unnecessary duplication, ungoverned data assets, or unsustainable operational burden. \nPartner with the Sr. Staff Data Engineer to align domain delivery to shared ingestion, transformation, and deployment patterns. \nPartner with the Staff Analytics Engineer to ensure domain assets align to enterprise semantic standards, metric definitions, and Gold-layer promotion expectations. \nPartner with the Platform / Data Reliability Engineer to ensure domain workloads meet platform standards for reliability, observability, cost management, environment promotion, and secure production operation. \nPartner with the Data Governance Specialist to ensure ownership, stewardship, classifications, metadata, lineage, quality expectations, and approvals are incorporated into delivery work. \nHire, coach, develop, and retain a high-performing data team; establish role clarity, growth expectations, performance feedback, and appropriate technical leadership opportunities. \nDefine and monitor practical measures of delivery health, including roadmap progress, throughput, time to enable new domains, adoption, quality trends, operational stability, and unresolved dependencies. \nCommunicate delivery progress, material risks, investment needs, and tradeoffs clearly to business and technology leadership. \nContinuously improve the team’s delivery model as the enterprise data platform, domain portfolio, and organizational maturity evolve. \nRequired qualifications:\n12+ years of experience across data engineering, analytics engineering, BI/data platforms, data architecture, or related technical data disciplines. \n3+ years of experience leading and developing technical teams responsible for data, analytics, data products, or data-platform delivery. \nDemonstrated success leading delivery across multiple business domains and balancing competing stakeholder priorities. \nStrong understanding of modern data-platform concepts, including lakehouse architecture, data pipelines, Bronze/Silver/Gold patterns, dimensional modeling, semantic layers, data quality, metadata, lineage, and governed access. \nHands-on experience with Databricks, including Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Databricks SQL, Workflows, or related lakehouse capabilities.\nAbility to assess and challenge technical delivery approaches without needing to be the primary hands-on implementer for every solution. \nExperience translating business priorities into outcome-oriented roadmaps, scoped delivery plans, and realistic sequencing decisions. \nExperience partnering with business stakeholders, software engineering, cloud/infrastructure, security, governance, and architecture functions. \nStrong judgment in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with incomplete information and competing demands. \nStrong communication, organizational leadership, and stakeholder-management skills. \nPreferred qualifications:\nExperience building or scaling an enterprise data function, data-product operating model, or multi-domain analytics platform. \nExperience leading data delivery for Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Program Finance, GTM, HR, Engineering, or other complex enterprise domains. \nExperience in aerospace, defense, autonomous systems, manufacturing, government, or another regulated and security-sensitive environment. \nExperience leading platform migrations, modernizations, ERP transformations, or enterprise data operating-model change. \nExperience managing distributed, remote, partner, or blended internal/external delivery teams.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6256,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
