Data Product Owner

Marathon Health is seeking a Data Product Owner to lead cross-functional delivery of outcome-based data solutions for internal and external stakeholders. This onsite role in Pearl City, HI focuses on product vision, backlog ownership, and enabling self-service through foundational data components.

Role Overview

The Data Product Owner leads several cross-functional scrum teams to deliver analytics and reporting outcomes through a governed, reusable foundation. The role owns the data product vision, roadmap, and prioritized backlog, selecting technology approaches such as Tableau, Snowflake with Cortex, and Python/Streamlit to align stakeholder needs with measurable business impact.

Core Responsibilities

• Own the product vision, roadmap, and prioritized backlog for a portfolio of outcome-based data solutions serving internal and external stakeholders.
• Lead multiple scrum teams day to day, including backlog grooming, sprint planning, prioritization, and removing blockers while keeping teams focused on measurable outcomes over output volume.
• Reconcile input from the Director of Business Intelligence on analytics and reporting outcomes and from the Technical Product Manager on technical and product execution into a single prioritized backlog.
• Surface priority or direction conflicts early and drive resolution to prevent delays.
• Translate stakeholder goals into clearly defined problems, success metrics, and acceptance criteria, and validate that delivered solutions move those metrics.
• Select the right delivery approach for each problem, such as Tableau, Snowflake/Cortex agents, or Python/Streamlit portals, based on the outcome and audience rather than a default technology preference.
• Leverage AI and modern tooling to accelerate discovery, prototyping, development, and iteration across teams.
• Build and steward reusable foundational components, especially the semantic model, so stakeholders and other teams can build reliably on a trusted, governed layer.
• Establish self-service enablement through documentation, patterns, and guardrails that help users create solutions with confidence.
• Partner with Product leaders and internal stakeholders to maintain alignment on priorities, tradeoffs, and delivery status.
• Anticipate and absorb change from both Technology and Product, adjusting priorities and communicating impacts without losing delivery momentum.
• Ensure delivered solutions meet quality, security, and compliance expectations appropriate for internal and external use.
• Track adoption, usage, and business impact, using insights to continuously refine the data solution portfolio.
• Define success metrics and business outcomes for major initiatives and hold teams accountable for measuring realized value after delivery.
• Ensure solutions follow established release, change management, and production readiness processes.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field plus at least 7 years of proven experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or similar role delivering data, analytics, or BI products, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Demonstrated success leading Agile and Scrum teams, ideally more than one team concurrently.
• Strong background in data and analytics, with end-to-end reasoning for data products from source to consumption.
• Experience in healthcare, population health, benefits administration, or related regulated industries preferred.
• Experience with data governance, data quality, and master data initiatives preferred.

Preferred Experience and Attributes

• Hands-on familiarity with Snowflake, including Cortex agents, Cortex Analyst/search services, and semantic views.
• Experience delivering modern analytics using Tableau, Python, and Streamlit (or comparable frameworks for lightweight portals and insight packages).
• Practical fluency leveraging AI and LLMs to build, accelerate, or augment data solutions.
• Strong grasp of semantic modeling and the importance of a reusable, governed foundation for self-service.
• An outcome-first, technology-agnostic mindset focused on selecting the right tool for the job.
• Ability to adapt calmly to shifting Technology and Product priorities.
• Diplomatic and decisive stakeholder management, making prioritization calls when direction conflicts arise.
• A builder-and-enabler orientation that values helping others create solutions.

• Awareness of data governance, security, and privacy considerations, with sensitivity to regulated data (PHI) as a plus.
• Comfort working across a range of delivery technologies rather than specializing in a single stack.

• Track record translating business needs into prioritized, outcome-driven work and measuring results.
• Experience operating in a matrixed structure, taking direction from multiple leaders while managing competing priorities.
