You will be part of one of three teams on a large-scale initiative, working closely with other Product Owners as well as Business Analysts, the Product Manager, Architects, and Developers. This role is well suited to someone who is comfortable working close to systems and data flows, understands how operational data moves through a marketing ecosystem, and enjoys solving structural and quality issues that enable teams downstream.

• Experience acting as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or similar role responsible for translating needs into delivery‑ready requirements
• Strong understanding of how customer and marketing data flows through platforms and integrations
• Hands‑on experience with platforms such as Customer Insights, CDPs, CRM systems, or marketing automation tools (Eloqua, SAP Marketing Cloud, Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, etc.)
• Comfort working with imperfect data and driving incremental improvements to quality and structure
• Experience working within Agile or Kanban delivery models
• Familiarity with concepts such as data mapping, data quality rules, identifiers, consent, and activation readiness
• Bilingual (French and English)

Responsibilities

• Support the definition and evolution of core marketing and customer data structures needed for the project, including entities, attributes, and relationships.
• Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and risks in existing operational data across marketing and customer platforms and help define remediation priorities.
• Contribute to data mapping and alignment efforts between source systems, the new Customer Data Platform (CDP), and downstream activation tools.
• Partner with data governance and architecture teams to ensure data definitions, rules, and usage are consistent and aligned with target‑state design.
• Monitor and support improvements to data quality, completeness, consistency, and reliability within the marketing data domain.
• Act as Product Owner for the operational marketing data domain within the project Data Squad, owning the backlog, priorities, and delivery outcomes.
• Translate business needs, operational issues, and platform requirements into clear, actionable user stories and backlog items.
• Triage, qualify, and prioritize requests related to operational data, balancing short‑term delivery needs with longer‑term CDP foundations.
• Ensure backlog items are aligned with project milestones, architectural standards, and future‑state data objectives.
• Work closely with the Technical Lead, IT developers, Business Analysts, Quality Analysts, data engineers, and architects to clarify requirements, validate assumptions, and support execution within Agile / Kanban frameworks.
