Product Owner - Data Platforms (Azure, Snowflake & Databricks)
Westpac Group · Sydney
As Product Owner – Enterprise Data Platforms, you will own and drive the roadmap, priorities and ongoing evolution of our enterprise data platform capabilities across Microsoft Azure, Snowflake and Databricks.
This is a highly technical Product Owner role, where you’ll combine strong product and delivery ownership with deep data platform knowledge. You’ll work closely with engineering, architecture, security and governance teams to translate business and technology requirements into platform capabilities, technical roadmaps and prioritised delivery outcomes.
You’ll lead priorities across cloud-native data engineering, ETL/ELT frameworks, data products, platform reliability, governance, security and large-scale data migrations. You’ll also coordinate engineering capacity, manage delivery risks and dependencies, oversee vendors and platform costs, and lead Proof of Concepts to evaluate new capabilities and provide recommendations to senior stakeholders.
