Responsibilities

The Sr. Manager, Enterprise Data is responsible for leading delivery across Shield AI’s Enterprise Data team as the organization enables business domains onto its governed Databricks data platform.
This role manages the engineers and delivery work required to turn enterprise data strategy into usable, reliable data products. The Sr. Manager will establish effective delivery rhythms, guide domain prioritization, manage capacity and dependencies, and ensure that business needs are translated into clear, appropriately scoped work for the Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Domain Enablement, and Data Governance functions.
The Sr. Manager partners closely with the Sr. Director of Enterprise Data & Architecture on strategy, operating model, investment priorities, executive engagement, and cross-functional alignment. The role partners with Platform Engineering and Enterprise Architecture, which remain direct functions of the Sr. Director, to ensure domain delivery is built on secure, reliable, scalable enterprise foundations.
Lead and develop the Enterprise Data delivery team, including Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers, Domain Enablement Engineers, and Data Governance specialists.
Establish clear delivery operating rhythms for planning, prioritization, capacity management, roadmap tracking, dependency management, risk escalation, and stakeholder communication.
Turn enterprise data strategy and business-domain priorities into sequenced, achievable delivery plans across platform onboarding, source integration, data-product delivery, semantic enablement, and governance.
Partner with business leaders and domain stakeholders to shape intake, clarify intended outcomes, assess readiness, prioritize use cases, and establish realistic delivery expectations.
Ensure domain work is appropriately scoped and sequenced, balancing near-term business value with the need for durable, governed, reusable data foundations.
Coordinate delivery across Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Domain Enablement, and Data Governance; resolve dependencies and escalate decisions that require platform, architecture, security, infrastructure, or executive direction.
Ensure team outputs meet expectations for production readiness, data quality, documentation, ownership, lineage, security, access controls, and maintainability.
Review delivery plans, technical approaches, risks, and tradeoffs with technical leads; challenge work that creates unnecessary duplication, ungoverned data assets, or unsustainable operational burden.
Partner with the Sr. Staff Data Engineer to align domain delivery to shared ingestion, transformation, and deployment patterns.
