Customer experiences, analytics, and AI-driven decisions are only as strong as the data products behind them. As a Data Management Specialist, you don’t just safeguard data, you design the foundations that make data valuable at scale. You create the standards, frameworks, and operating models that allow teams across bol to build high-quality, reusable, and trustworthy data products.

You enable a world where teams can independently innovate with data, while staying aligned on quality, definitions, and governance. Not by adding process, but by designing clarity, automation, and consistency into the system.

Bol is transitioning from fragmented, manual governance to Data Product Governance – a model where governance is embedded, automated, and scalable. The challenge is not to control data, but to enable data products to scale across domains without losing consistency or trust.

You will:

• Define standards that work across very different domains and use cases
• Balance autonomy for domains with enterprise-wide consistency
• Translate complex governance needs into practical, automatable solutions
• Shape how governance supports analytics and AI at scale

This is a role where you design the system others depend on and where your decisions directly impact how data is used across the company.

You operate at the center of Data Product Management & Governance, where you define how data products are governed and scaled across bol. You design the standards, frameworks, and operating model that enable domain teams to create high-quality, reusable, and trustworthy data products in a consistent and scalable way.

• Define and maintain enterprise standards for data quality, metadata, lineage, naming, and data contracts
• Own the KPI definition standard and cross-domain harmonization framework to ensure consistent definitions
• Design and evolve the Data Product Governance Operating Model, including lifecycle governance gates and control frameworks
• Define requirements for automated data governance, cataloging, and data quality controls in collaboration with platform teams
• Ensure enterprise-wide consistency across data products and domains, resolving semantic conflicts and governance gaps
• Enable adoption through playbooks, templates, training, and support for Data Stewards and product teams
• Facilitate cross-domain alignment on metrics, concepts, and standards, acting as a central expert and connecting teams across the organization.
• Closely work together with the Data Platform team for (automated) governance solutions.

With 5+ years of experience in data governance, you bring the depth needed to design scalable, sustainable approaches for complex governance requirements. And the pragmatism to make them work in reality! You ‘talk data’ and inspire our stakeholders to adopt data management. You understand that defining standards is only the starting point. The real challenge is making them work across teams, domains, and use cases. You’re comfortable operating in an environment where not everything is fully defined yet. Instead of waiting for clarity, you create it. Knowledge of DAMA principles and CDMP certification (or willingness to obtain it) is a must-have and the foundation for success in this role.

You’ll join the Data Products Management & Governance team within bol’s Data, Analytics & AI department, reporting to the Manager Data Product Governance & Stewardship. You’ll collaborate daily with Data Product Managers, Data Engineers, Product Analysts, Data Scientists, and Data Stewards. Your work sits at the intersection of business knowledge, engineering, and governance. It is also essential to bol’s transition toward data product thinking. With 13.7 million customers and an accelerating AI agenda, the quality and trustworthiness of bol’s data products isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the foundation everything else is built on. You’ll help make that foundation rock solid.
