This role would be responsible for the full life cycle surrounding the platform's APIs and potentially other consent driven, secure mechanisms to access data.

Further, the APIs are standard, configurable, and published on a marketplace for internal and external use (e.g., APIs to support extracts for visualization, third-party analytics, internal solutions, consumer applications, etc.) The platform is a foundation for go forward products and includes key attributes such as data acquisition at scale, data parsing, normalization, identity services, policy, best record matching, and ultimately data access.

The role is responsible for gathering and prioritizing all data access requirements based on prioritized business needs to meet strategic goals, owning the product development backlog, and collaborating with internal and external customers, vendors, and cross functional teams across the business to ensure successful deployment and roll out of new features. Additionally, the product manager will collaborate with peers to ensure that that the product roadmap is aligned with company's overall strategy and goals.
