Data Product Owner

Job title: Data Product Owner

Location: Deerfield Beach, FL

Rate: $70-75/hr

Duration: Contract with possible conversion to full time

Job Description:

Team / Environment

• Three data-management areas with different Agile maturity levels and no consistent organization-wide backlog structure today.
• The role supports platform teams rather than a single, neatly defined product or value stream.
• Some teams are familiar with Agile, while others need foundational coaching, structure, and hands-on support.
• The resource will collaborate with multiple engineering teams, leaders, stakeholders, and the Agile COE.

Top 3 Must-Haves

• Hands-on Product Owner experience in a data, analytics, data platform, engineering, lakehouse, BI, or closely related technical environment.
• Deep practical command of Agile delivery and Azure DevOps, including board setup, backlog management, epics/features/stories, acceptance criteria, sprint planning, stand-ups, grooming, and retrospectives.
• Self-directed leadership and communication skills to standardize teams at different maturity levels, work effectively with engineers, and serve as the organization's primary PO / Agile expert.

Important Profile Distinction

• This is not a traditional project-manager role focused only on schedules and roadmaps.
• The person must personally manage Agile execution and artifacts while also applying an ownership mindset to evolving data platforms and services.
• Candidates without meaningful data-domain experience are less aligned, even if they have extensive general Product Owner experience.
