The Project Manager is a delivery-focused coordinator responsible for keeping the day-to-day work of

the Data Architecture & Engineering team moving according to team and departmental priorities. This

role coordinates the team's delivery cadence and the intake pipeline: fielding incoming requests for

prioritization, keeping the backlog healthy, tracking progress, and clearing the path so architects and

engineers can stay focused on building.

Working closely with the team's technical leads, this person is the connective tissue between the people

requesting data work and the people delivering it. Success looks like transparent prioritization, realistic

and well-communicated timelines, few surprises, and engineers who spend their time on delivery rather

than coordination overhead.
