At American Express, our culture is built on a 175-year history of innovation, shared values and leadership behaviors, and an unwavering commitment to back our customers, communities, and colleagues. As part of Team Amex, you will experience this powerful backing with comprehensive support for your holistic well-being and many opportunities to gain experience new skills, develop as a leader, and grow your career. Here, your voice and ideas matter, your work makes an impact, and together, you will help us define the future of American Express. Enterprise Data Management & Products (EDMP), a key part of our Technology organization, focuses on delivering data products that fuel business growth and unlock value, while also shaping robust data management strategies and governance solutions. Our aim is to propel growth, unlock potential, enhance efficiency, manage risk, and foster talent. By prioritizing enterprise growth across all sectors, we create solutions that enhance satisfaction and value, streamline operations for scalability, and maintain trust and security. Role Description: The Senior Product Manager at American Express drives innovation in Enterprise Metadata Management Platforms, owning vision, roadmap, enabling secure, scalable, and compliant data ecosystems. We leverage cutting-edge technology, including AI-driven solutions, to manage metadata across diverse data landscapes, ensuring robust data management, governance, lineage tracking, and quality controls that power data-driven decision-making. We are seeking an experienced Product Leader to drive the evolution of our Enterprise Data Governance and Metadata Management capabilities, with a focus on translating governance policy into scalable, automated product solutions. This role bridges the gap between stakeholders and Products, ensuring our tools and processes support enterprise-wide data trust, quality, and compliance. Primary Responsibilities: Define and execute the product strategy for Data Governance and Management capabilities, ensuring alignment with enterprise data policy, stewardship, and compliance frameworks. Translate governance and policy standards (e.g., DCAM, DAMA, DMBOK) into product features and automated controls across metadata, lineage, and data quality platforms. Partner closely with business stakeholders — Enterprise Data Office, Business Unit Data Office, Enterprise Architecture, and Compliance — to align data ownership, accountability, and value realization. Collaborate with technology teams (ATLAS, MANTA, AI/ML) to ensure governance capabilities are implemented, scalable, and measurable. Drive adoption and maturity of governance capabilities by developing clear use cases, metrics, and training plans that connect governance policy to business outcomes. Represent the voice of stakeholders — data stewards, data custodians, executives and domain owners — ensuring that data controls are effective and frictionless. Influence enterprise data culture by promoting accountability, transparency, and data literacy through well-designed governance capabilities. Qualifications: 8+ years of experience in Product Management, Data Governance, or Data Strategy roles within complex enterprise environments. Deep understanding of data governance and management frameworks (DCAM, DAMA, DMBOK) and how to operationalize them. Strong ability to bridge business and technical perspectives — translating governance needs into system-level requirements. Familiarity with metadata management, data lineage, and catalog tools (e.g., Data Hub, Open Metadata, MANTA, Collibra, Alation). Proven experience collaborating with data stewards, compliance, and enterprise data offices to deliver measurable outcomes. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence technology and business functions. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in information systems, Data Management, Business, or a related field.
