Director, Product Management - Data Platform

Director, Product Management - Data Platform Location: San Mateo, CA · Nashville, TN · Sterling, VA Open to remote The Role Asurion — the world’s leading connected device protection company, serving 300M+ customers — is looking for a hands-on Director of PM to own the strategy and roadmap for our Data Platform. You understand both sides: how data is produced and how it’s consumed. You know how to build the foundational infrastructure — data catalog, lineage, ingestion pipelines, access governance, and a self-service analytics layer — that turns raw data into a trusted, scalable asset. This is a high-visibility role with broad scope and the mandate to shape how the entire organization works with data. What You’ll Do Own the Data Platform roadmap: from ingestion and pipeline orchestration to data catalog, lineage tracking, access governance, and the self-service analytics layer. Define how teams onboard data to the platform — establishing contracts, SLAs, quality checks, and documentation standards that make data trustworthy at the source. Drive the self-service experience — so analysts and data scientists can discover, access, and use data in tools like Databricks notebooks or Snowflake without filing tickets. Partner with engineering on architecture decisions: when to use streaming vs. batch, how to structure the lakehouse, what belongs in the warehouse vs. the lake. Align data engineering, analytics, data science, security, and business stakeholders around a shared platform vision. Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing team of data-fluent PMs. What You Bring 10+ years in product management, with a significant focus on data platform, infrastructure, or analytics products. Fluency with the modern data stack: Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, MLflow), Snowflake, Amazon EMR/Spark, and cloud-native data services on AWS or GCP. Experience building or evolving core platform capabilities: data catalog, metadata management, column-level lineage, pipeline orchestration (Airflow, dbt, or similar), RBAC, and data quality frameworks. Understands the producer/consumer dynamic — knows that a great platform is as much about how data gets in as how it gets used. Proven cross-functional leadership; strong communicator from the board room to the engineering standup. Customer-obsessed with a strong bias for outcomes over output. Nice to Have Experience standing up a data mesh or domain-oriented data ownership model. Familiarity with ML/AI workflows and feature stores that consume platform data. Background partnering with security and privacy teams on governance at scale. Why Asurion Build at scale — petabytes of data, real-time decisions, 300M+ customers. Greenfield platform scope inside a well-resourced, high-growth organization. Direct influence on how every team across the company discovers and uses data.
