About the Role
As a Data Product Manager Lead at Capital Group, you will define and drive the vision for enterprise data products that are reusable, trusted, easy to access, scalable, and secure. You will turn our data into products that directly impact our business, our associates, and our clients — owning the full product lifecycle from discovery through launch and ongoing operation.
Responsibilities
•In a rapidly developing AI landscape, help advocate, manage, and implement the value-driven use of AI across both the products we build and how we build them — especially as product, data, and engineering roles converge.
•Within a specific domain, define and drive the vision for enterprise data products in alignment with our enterprise data strategy.
•Own the gathering and documentation of customer needs — data requirements, transformation logic, data models, SLAs, data quality expectations, and lineage from source to consumer — and own roadmaps that solve those needs, making trade-off decisions that balance business outcomes, debt, risk, capacity, and data strategy.
•Lead product planning, delivery, and launch with clear priorities and well-managed customer expectations, ensuring end-to-end data risks are mitigated and operations are ready to support.
•Once live, monitor feedback, define the OKRs and KPIs that track product health, and continuously improve — growing utilization, optimizing cost, and feeding learnings back into planning.
•Be the data product team's representative in the region — championing our work to business partners while bringing the voice of the customer back to the team.
•Represent the unique needs of regional partners and collaborate closely with the North America team to balance distinct regional requirements with the strategic direction of global data products.
•Build and manage a team of data product managers and analysts — attracting talent and making strong hiring decisions, onboarding new members around a shared product vision, setting goals, and providing regular coaching and feedback that grows both functional skill and leadership capability.
•Manage performance, cultivate a team culture aligned with company principles, and foster expertise in data analysis, data quality, and data automation.
Requirements
•Fluent in product practice end to end and instinctively look for ways AI can sharpen how the team works, helping others adopt it in practical, value-driven ways.
•An experienced people manager who hires, coaches, sets goals, and manages performance — growing both the functional skill and leadership capability of their people.
•Builds trust across engineering, operations, governance, and business partners.
•A strong individual contributor who's willing to get hands-on, fill gaps, and see the work through — comfortable making the call and moving forward in ambiguity.
•Understands what makes data reusable, trusted, accessible, scalable, and secure, and can define data requirements end to end.
•Strong attention to detail and expert-level proficiency with SQL (or modern scripting languages) and data analysis and visualization tools.
•Understands financial services and investment management well enough to spot opportunities for data-driven product improvements and translate them into business outcomes.
•Can represent UK/EU partners, champion their needs, and collaborate with globally distributed teams to balance regional requirements against a global strategy.
•Communicates clearly and proactively across technical, non-technical, and executive audiences.
Benefits
•Generous time-away and health benefits from day one, with the opportunity for flexible work options.
•2-for-1 matching gifts for charitable contributions and the opportunity to secure annual grants for organizations you love.
•Access to on-demand professional development resources to hone existing skills and learn new ones.
•Competitive salary, bonuses and benefits. In addition to a highly competitive base salary, per plan guidelines, restrictions and vesting requirements, eligibility for an individual annual performance bonus, plus Capital's annual profitability bonus, plus a retirement plan where Capital contributes 15% of eligible earnings.
