Technical Program Manager (Data & Analytics Integration )

This is not a data analyst or data engineer role. No hands-on scripting or pipeline development expected.
- Program Manager who understands data integration, migration, manipulation, and data management processes well enough to lead requirements and dependency conversations between business and technical teams.
- Operates in a heterogeneous environment with no single “destination” platform; success requires comfort with ambiguity and creating structure from scratch.


Must-Have Qualifications
- Senior Program Manager / Delivery Lead experience
- Experience leading large-scale data migration or data integration programs (as an owner/driver, not as a coder)
- Strong understanding of ETL/ELT concepts, data dependencies, data validation/reconciliation, and cutover planning for analytics/reporting
- Familiarity with common data and analytics platforms/tools (e.g., Snowflake, Tableau, Power BI, Oracle, SQL databases)
- Experience working with business systems data (e.g., Salesforce, Workday, HR/payroll, ERP) and understanding cross-system data flows
- Ability to reduce ambiguity: define plans, roles, artifacts, and operating cadence when standards/processes are not established
- Executive presence and professional communication in high-visibility meetings; can lead discussions with business and engineering stakeholders and drive decisions

Nice to have:
- Prior M&A / acquisition integration exposure (not required)
- Experience evaluating tooling options and discussing licensing models and tradeoffs at a practical level
- Time zone alignment with CST / MST stakeholders

Not a fit:
- Data engineers, BI developers, or analysts whose primary job is building pipelines, writing scripts, or dashboard development
- PMO-only roles that track tasks without domain ownership of data integration outcomes
- Governance-only or reporting-only roles without migration/integration accountability
