Product Owner Data Migration Platform

Job Description

Salary: 110,000- 130,000

The Role: Product Owner Data Migration Platform

Youll lead product development for an internal SaaS data transformation platform a full ingestion, mapping, validation, and deployment pipeline built on AWS. Youll own every layer of it: schema design, transformation rules, internal tooling, versioning, auditability, and the long-term roadmap.

Your users arent external clientstheyre the internal Implementation, Engineering, and Support teams who rely on your platform to execute fast, accurate migrations. To succeed, youll need a strong command of data architecture and the ability to think like both a systems engineer and a product strategist.

This is a platform enablement role. Youre not building dashboardsyoure building the system that powers our systems.

How Youll Make an Impact

Define a Scalable Platform Vision

Translate the broader gWorks product strategy into a clear, platform-level roadmap

Collaborate with engineering and architecture teams to build a standards-based transformation pipeline

Champion internal tooling and schema governance as product priorities

Own the Execution Engine

Break platform needs into scalable, testable epics (e.g., rollback flows, ingestion logic, validation layers)

Write backlog-ready tickets that translate abstract data problems into concrete logic

Prioritize reusable solutions that improve every future migration

Empower Internal Teams

Build workflows and tools that allow non-engineers to confidently run migrations and validate output

Eliminate manual bottlenecks with automation, audit trails, and intuitive design

Partner closely with Implementation, Engineering, QA, and DevOps to align platform priorities with frontline needs

Deliver Quality at Scale

Lead efforts to build in validation, versioning, observability, and rollback from the start

Define KPIs for transformation performance, schema accuracy, and team enablement

Ensure the system scales across clients, acquisitions, and future growth

Why This Isnt a General PO Role

This role is:

Platform-focused Youre not building UI. Youre owning the infrastructure behind every client migration

Technically fluent Youll own schema-level decisions and failure-mode triage

Internally driven Your success is measured by team enablement, data accuracy, and scalabilitynot feature velocity

Mission-critical This platform is the backbone of gWorks onboarding, growth, and acquisition integration

If youve only owned customer-facing UIs or havent worked closely with data pipelines or ETL architecture, this role likely isnt a match.

What Youll Bring

5+ years in a Product Owner or Technical Product Manager role, with deep experience in:

ETL or data transformation systems

SaaS platforms and internal tooling

AWS-native infrastructure

Familiarity with tools like S3, Lambda, ECS, Step Functions, and Terraform

A history of building internal platforms that drive operational efficiency

Ability to write precise, technically specific user stories with edge-case awareness

Proven collaboration across engineering, QA, DevOps, and operations

Bonus: Experience with schema governance and reusable transformation frameworks

What Success Looks Like

A reusable migration engine used for 100% of client onboardings by mid-2026

98%+ schema match accuracy and <1% rework during validation

Implementation teams running migrations independently, with minimal Engineering intervention

Decreased go-live escalations, support rework, and migration downtime

A clean, modular backlog aligned to platform architecture and internal tooling
