We are seeking a strategic and analytical Data Product Lead to drive product vision and strategy for IAG.ai.

Job Description

As the Technical Product Lead, you will be responsible for setting the vision and roadmap for key engineering and data products, ensuring alignment with business objectives, and working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions.

The Software Engineering team is on a mission to accelerate the value produced by product engineering teams at IAG.ai and across IAG, enabling and empowering software engineering and AI teams to deliver high-quality software efficiently and safely, leveraging best practices.

The main product accountability is for a greenfield Engineering Metrics Platform that pulls data from GitHub, Snyk, SonarCloud, and other technical tools to surface data-driven insights. These insights help facilitate engineering productivity improvements, cost savings, and decreased risk of security or quality issues across all of IAG. The role will also have oversight of 3 other Software Engineering team products and be a mentor for their Product Owners and leaders: MarketPlace, Tooling-as-a-Service, and the AI Engineering Platform. The Data Product Lead will manage the roadmap, reporting, and OKRs for the Software Engineering team to ensure we are delivering value for IAG.ai teams and for our tools used across the IAG Group. The role may evolve to suit the needs of the team, so this ownership may not necessarily stay static.
