Job Description:

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 role requires substantial data and analytics depth to assess delivery approaches, challenge unclear requirements, make appropriate tradeoffs, and ensure that the team produces durable, governed, production-ready outcomes rather than one-off reporting solutions. 

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.
