• Data Product Strategy and Scalability

  • Define and oversee the roadmap for Product data products (e.g., Product Master, attributes catalog, variants/configurations, classifications), ensuring scalability, resilience, and fitness for purpose.

  • Set non-functional requirements (performance, availability, security, compliance, observability) to support growth in data volume and user demand.

  • Guide architecture patterns (APIs, streaming, batch, event-driven) and reference implementations that enable reuse and consistent adoption.

• Implementation Partnership and Delivery Enablement

  • Partner with delivery teams to ensure Product data assets and products are implemented according to domain standards, architecture principles, and governance controls.

  • Approve access requests and entitlements, ensuring compliance with regulatory and security requirements.

  • Partner with Security, Legal, and Privacy teams to operationalize retention, classification, and data minimization practices.

• Data Quality, Integrity, and Lifecycle Management

  • Be accountable for the quality and integrity of Product domain data, including stewardship, issue management, and remediation plans.

  • Establish and enforce lifecycle management for product records, including creation, updates, versioning, variants, discontinuation, and archival.

  • Govern associated reference data, metadata, taxonomies, and hierarchies; maintain authoritative definitions, lineage, and catalogs.

• Product Master Adoption and Source-of-Truth Enforcement

  • Ensure internal systems and solutions consistently use Product Master as the authoritative source for product identity and core attributes.

  • Define integration standards (APIs, event contracts, matching/versioning rules) and certify consuming applications for compliance.

  • Monitor adherence and address deviations through remediation plans and governance escalation.

• Standards, Policies, and Compliance

  • Implement and maintain domain standards, data models, naming conventions, and semantic definitions; align with enterprise architecture and data governance frameworks.

  • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies relevant to product data (e.g., safety/regulatory labeling, regional attributes).

• Measurement, Monitoring, and Continuous Improvement

  • Define domain-level metrics and dashboards (data quality scores, coverage, timeliness, adoption, SLA compliance).
