About the role

  • The Enterprise Data Solutions & Operations (EDSO) team within the Digital & Technology (D-T) function is looking to staff a Head of Data Solutions (the 'Role') for our FPRS/CSWM line of business.
  • From a strategic management perspective, the role will bring a keen understanding of value stream processes, supporting applications and key data elements.
  • Moreover, the role will establish and nurture relationships with both value stream executive leadership, as well as functional and analytic SMEs in the value stream teams to keep a pulse on the latent needs and direction of the business.

Responsibilities

  • This role will work closely with core FPRS/CSWM business value streams (e.g., distribution mgmt., shop, purchasing, service, claims, etc.) to define, shape, prioritize and lead the delivery and evolution of key data and information product ('Products') solutions supporting business objectives.
  • More specifically, this role will drive the capture and planning for new demand of features and/or enhancements to Guardian's data Products as articulated by key business leaders from one or more key value stream and/or the respective FPRS/CSWM FP&A functional BI leader.
  • A key aspect of the role will be to balance the needs across value stream demands, soliciting/recommending priorities, and in turn, incorporating and aligning these priorities into a roadmap and plan for delivery, including resource planning (business SMEs, UAT participants, etc.), training, and activation in support of full value realization.
  • Using these relationships, the role will anticipate future data needs, constantly updating and communicating the backlog of features to be addressed in the data/info product roadmap - all in close coordination with business partners in the FPRS/CSWM FP&A analytics team(s).
  • From an org management perspective, the Role will directly manage and grow a team of data product owners (DPOs).
  • These DPOs will be aligned with FPRS/CSWM value stream data products and will drive the execution of new build features/enhancements to their respective data products.
  • In addition, the Role will manage both direct (EDSO FPRS/CSWM Solution Engineering team members, EDSO FPRS/CSWM Data Product Owners) and indirect (D&T Solution & Data Architecture resources, and D&T Data Governance resources), in order to drive the successful delivery of data products, as well as to help foster the development of the next generation of D&T data leaders,
  • Direct matrixed data stewards to craft collect, maintain and troubleshoot critical data element metadata and data quality
