Job Summary:
Leads delivery of the EDU program's data products from definition through release and consumer adoption. A majority-technical role with a program-management skill set: the holder must be able to read and challenge a data model, a semantic definition or a pipeline design, and must also run an integrated plan, a risk register and a steering-group pack to Global PMO standard.

Breaks the program's quarterly milestones into executable releases, convenes domain SMEs and system SMEs per project, and makes sure each product is released with a named owner, named consumers and defined DATSIS. Builds the evidence base (ways of working, intake, standards, council decisions, adoption metrics) on which the operating-model decision will be taken before month 18.

The Data Products Program Lead manages execution of the Enterprise Data Unification (EDU) program, delivering governed enterprise data products that enable AI use cases. Initial products include Location 360, Product 360, and supporting product-chain event data products. Reporting to the business-side EDU lead and partnering with the IT Data Products Delivery Lead, this role owns product scope, definitions, acceptance, and consumer readiness, while IT owns platform and data delivery. The model reflects the future state of business-owned data products supported by IT-managed data aggregation. The program follows the Global PMO governance framework, with plans, resources, risks, dependencies, and KPIs managed through standard PMO reporting. The Stakeholder Group consists of registered data product consumers.
