Sr Staff Technical Product Manager – Data Product Marketplace, Defense & Systems Data Fabric

GE Aerospace•Evendale, OH

2d•$131,000 - $174,000•Remote

About The Position

Operationalizes the Data Product Marketplace and enterprise catalog for Defense & Systems. The role manages, facilitates, and monitors the flow of data products from intake through to being consumable in the fabric: onboarding and certification intake, the catalog and discovery experience, self-service access workflows, and the adoption metrics that show whether any of it is working. Standards come from the Principal Data Architect in the form of data-product contracts, schemas, and SLAs; policy comes from the Sr Principal Technical Product Manager. This role executes within both and owns the day-to-day consumer experience. Success improves Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost by shortening the path from a data product request to a governed, usable data product. The Data Fabric only matters if people use it, and that is what this role owns: the front door, the onboarding path, and the evidence of adoption. You will work directly with data product owners across Defense & Systems, run the intake process that moves products into the fabric, and hold the consumer experience to a standard. This is hands-on product management on a platform being built now, not caretaking of one already built.
