Are you a proactive leader who expertly combines strategic vision with hands-on ownership to drive data products from concept to delivery? Join Zendesk's Enterprise Data & Analytics team—a high-performance group dedicated to building a simple, scalable analytics foundation that supports Zendesk’s growth to a $3 Billion company.

Our business relies on multiple third-party applications embedded within our customer data flows, each generating unique and valuable data. We need a leader to own, manage, and scale these data integrations, making them useful and accessible for analysts and applications alike.


What you'll do every day:

  • Take full ownership of the customer data lifecycle from third-party applications, overseeing everything from data ingestion to integration and end-user consumption.

  • Collaborate closely with business teams, product owners, analysts, engineers, and other stakeholders to understand and translate data needs into practical, scalable solutions.

  • Prioritize and manage data integration requests, developing processes to meet demand efficiently.

  • Champion integration solutions to ensure they deliver value, maintain data quality, and evolve with business needs.

  • Engage users proactively to anticipate their needs and drive deeper insights.

  • Maintain strong data hygiene, governance, and management practices.

  • Develop operational playbooks and runbooks to ensure consistency, scalability, and resilience across data pipelines.

  • Develop and implement automated validation and transformation processes to scale the reporting layer effectively.

  • Communicate progress and updates clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Own and manage the Agile development process for your data product initiatives, including maintaining Jira scrum boards, facilitating sprint planning, tracking progress, and coordinating cross-functional team collaboration.

  • Own and maintain a transparent and actionable product roadmap.


What you bring to the role:

  • A highly self-motivated, action-oriented leader passionate about driving impactful data products.

  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to listen deeply, understand diverse business requirements, and translate them into actionable data solutions.

  • Proven track record collaborating across multiple teams and managing complex project intake, blockers, and delivery workflows.

  • Experience managing Agile workflows, including running scrums, managing sprint boards, and using Jira (or similar tools) to track progress and facilitate team collaboration.

  • Experience documenting schemas, data models, and data dictionaries thoroughly.

  • Strong process-oriented mindset and organizational skills to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities effectively.

  • Hands-on experience with relational and columnar databases (e.g., Snowflake).

  • Deep understanding of data modeling, data architecture, design patterns, and integration strategies.

  • Intermediate to advanced SQL skills with comfort working on structured data, entity-relationship diagrams, and analytical database concepts.

  • Familiarity with major SaaS platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Zuora, Oracle, Adobe) and related data import/export concepts.

  • 7+ years of total professional experience, including at least 4 years in data product management or a similar role. Our ideal candidate has prior experience in data engineering and has transitioned into data product management, combining technical expertise with product leadership.
