Lead Data Product Owner - Finance

Your role at Dynatrace

Dynatrace's Data & Analytics organization is on a mission to build a scalable, AI-ready and self-service data ecosystem across the company. As part of this mission, we are standing up a Data Product Management capability to proactively manage our internal data products, the canonical models, metrics and dashboards that serve as shared sources of truth across the business. This function bridges business and data teams — guiding quality and governance, coordinating execution and driving adoption. Without it, data teams complete tickets instead of building lasting solutions.

About the Role:

We are seeking a Lead Data Product Owner to own and advance a portfolio of data products serving the Finance organization. This person is accountable for the reliability, value and data maturity of Finance's core data assets — ensuring that what gets built is trusted, actively used and continuously improving.  Alongside the Data Product Manager, this person co-owns the Finance data product strategy and stakeholder relationships. The Data Product Owner brings independent product judgment to both sides of the work — strategically guiding Finance stakeholders in how to think about and articulate their data need and guiding the analytics engineering team on what to build and how to design it. They actively shape and draft requirements rather than simply collecting and translating them and they independently lead the projects that deliver them.  

A core requirement of this role is the ability to influence how things get done — earning the trust of Finance leaders and the respect of technical teams in equal measure. A demonstrated track record of working in a strategic product ownership capacity is a must; Finance domain knowledge is strongly preferred.

What You'll Do:

Data Product Ownership & Maturity

• Own a portfolio of Finance data products end to end — reliability, value, adoption
• Independently lead the projects that advance Finance's data maturity, from problem definition to adoption
• Shape the Finance data product roadmap, prioritizing by adoption and business value

Technical Guidance & Product Design

• Collaborate with the GTM analytics engineering squad, influencing what to build and how to design it
• Shape data mart architecture, metric definitions and reporting requirements, navigating design tradeoffs
• Define requirements for auditable data flows: traceability and lineage for audit and executive reporting

Stakeholder Strategy & Requirements

• Partner with Finance, FP&A, Accounting and Procurement leaders to shape and draft requirements, not just take orders
• Drive alignment on business and data definitions, and translate business problems into buildable requirements

Quality, Governance & Adoption

• Oversee data quality, SLAs and governance — SOX, ASC 606 and external audit standards
• Drive discoverability and data literacy; align with peer data product owners across G&A and GTM 

This is a hybrid role (2 days per week) out of our Boston, MA office.

Minimum Requirements

• 7+ years in data product management, analytics, BI or data management
• Bachelor's in Finance, Business, Information Systems, Data Analytics or a related field

• Exceptional ability to bridge technical and business communication — a core competency for this role 
• Track record of influencing outcomes with engineers and business leaders
• Experience shaping and drafting requirements and leading projects amid conflicting priorities
• Strong grasp of data modeling, pipelines, data quality, governance and BI tooling; SQL
