Role Description
- We are hiring a Senior Product Manager – Enterprise Lineage to define, scale, and institutionalize lineage as a core enterprise capability at American Express.
- This leader will own the long-term vision and roadmap for automated, end-to-end lineage across application code, distributed processing engines, rule frameworks, cloud-native services, mainframe systems, and reporting layers.
- The environment spans modern engineering stacks (Java, Python, Spark, Scala, Beam, Flink, Go), rule engines (Drools, MVEL), GCP ecosystems, and legacy mainframe platforms. The mandate is clear: build scalable, reliable, production-grade lineage that supports report traceability, regulatory compliance, impact analysis, and enterprise data quality.
- This role operates at the intersection of architecture, regulatory risk, data governance, and platform engineering. It carries executive visibility and requires both technical depth and strategic product leadership.
- You will shape how lineage is standardized across the enterprise — preventing fragmentation and duplicated solutions.
- You will influence technology scanner roadmap priorities and vendor alignment.
- You will operate in a report-driven activation model that materially expands lineage scope.
- You will define how column-level traceability and transformation intelligence scale across distributed architectures.
- You will build a product that directly impacts regulatory confidence and operational risk posture.
- This is an opportunity to architect lineage at enterprise scale, not just manage incremental enhancements.
- Define and execute the enterprise lineage vision and multi-year roadmap.
- Prioritize scanner development across Java, Python, Spark, Scala, Beam, Flink, Go, Drools, MVEL, GCP, and Mainframe.
- Drive end-to-end lineage stitching across applications, processing layers, cloud platforms, and reporting systems.
- Translate regulatory, reporting, and data quality requirements into scalable product capabilities.
- Establish lineage as the enterprise standard and mitigate risk of BUDO-level fragmentation.
- Partner with Enterprise Architecture, Risk, Compliance, Data Offices, and Engineering to drive adoption and measurable impact.
- Define success metrics tied to regulatory traceability, report lineage coverage, and data quality enablement.
- 8 years of Product Management experience in enterprise data platforms, lineage, metadata, or distributed data systems.
- Deep technical understanding of lineage mechanics: parsing engines, column-level traceability, cross-system stitching, transformation logic interpretation.
- Experience operating in highly regulated, complex financial or enterprise environments.
- Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and align cross-functional engineering and governance teams.
- Strong executive presence with the ability to translate technical depth into business impact.
