Director of Product Management - Data & Analytics

The Role

TRG Screen is embarking on a strategic transformation of how data is accessed, consumed, and delivered across our product portfolio. Today, data lives within source and application databases: siloed, difficult to combine, and hard to expose to customers and internal teams. We are building a modern data lakehouse to change that, and we need a Director of Data Solutions to lead this journey.

This is a foundational, high-impact role, reporting to our Chief Product Officer. You will inherit a modern but underperforming data product, untangle legacy reporting built on stored procedures, and simultaneously set the vision and execution plan for the next generation of TRG Screen's data platform. You will serve as the senior data product leader for our product, engineering, and executive stakeholders.

This role is based in Belfast, and begins as a senior individual contributor with a clear trajectory to build and lead a growing data product team.

Responsibilities

Stabilise & Improve the Current State

• Take ownership of our existing data product:  assess gaps, stabilise performance, and deliver near- term improvements that create immediate value for customers and internal teams.
• Audit and rationalise a portfolio of legacy custom reports built on stored procedures: understand the business problems they solve, document them, and define a clear migration path.

Define the Data Lakehouse Vision

• Define the vision and roadmap for TRG Screen's data lakehouse, grounded in deep customer research and a clear understanding of where data solutions deliver the most value.
• Apply a Jobs to Be Done framework to uncover what customers are truly trying to accomplish and translate those insights into a prioritised product backlog.
• Conduct ongoing customer discovery with clients and customer-facing teams (Customer Success, Sales, Professional Services) to ensure the roadmap reflects real customer pain and opportunity.
• Work closely with the Data Architect and Database Engineer to communicate requirements clearly . You define the what and why; they own the how.
• Champion an AI-first approach to visualisation and insight delivery, evaluating and selecting third-party AI tooling rather than building bespoke visualisation layers.

Build & Deliver Data Products

• Define and ship customer-facing data products, including APIs, datasets, and consumption layers that customers or customer-serving teams directly use and derive value from.
• Productise TRG Screen's data as a revenue stream : define how data and APIs are packaged, tiered, and commercialised for customers and partners.
• In partnership with product stakeholders, own the API product strategy , defining APIs not just as technical interfaces but as sellable, scalable products with clear value propositions, entitlement models, and a developer experience that delights customers.
• Partner with engineering to translate customer-driven requirements into clear, actionable briefs.
• Ensure data quality, governance, reliability, and documentation across all data products.

Own the AI Data Strategy

• Serve as the product owner of TRG Screen's AI data foundation : defining what data needs to be available, in what form, and to what quality standard to power AI and ML workloads.
• Use customer research and Jobs to Be Done methodology to define intelligence layer product requirements: what AI-powered features and experiences customers need, handed off to technical teams for execution.
• Collaborate with TRG Screen's AI strategy stakeholders to align the data product roadmap with AI product priorities.
• Champion AI-first approaches to data consumption: evaluating and recommending AI-powered visualisation and insight tools.

Lead & Grow the Team

• Begin as a senior individual contributor with direct leadership responsibility - you will be the data product function at TRG Screen initially.
• Work in close partnership with a Database Engineer and Data Architect, providing product direction and prioritisation while they drive implementation.
• Build out your team as the platform matures, with a planned trajectory to hire and lead a Product Manager and Product Owner.
• Act as a player-coach: credible enough to go deep on architecture and technical decisions alongside engineering peers, while driving strategy and stakeholder conversations at the executive level.

Skills and Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in data product management or related roles, with at least 3 years in a leadership capacity.
• Deep expertise in Jobs to Be Done and customer discovery: ability to uncover what customers truly need from data and translate that into a compelling product roadmap.
• Strong product instincts: knows how to prioritise ruthlessly, write clear requirements, and drive a backlog in an Agile environment.
• Solid working knowledge of data concepts (SQL, data modelling, APIs, ETL/ELT, BI tools), enough to be a credible partner to a Data Architect and Database Engineer.
• Experience defining and shipping data APIs as commercial products, including packaging, entitlements, and usage-based models.
• Understanding of data monetisation strategies, how to turn data assets into revenue-generating products.
• Strong understanding of AI and ML data requirements: how to define product needs for AI-powered features and intelligence layers.
• Familiarity with LLMs, generative AI, and AI-powered product surfaces, and how they consume and depend on structured, high-quality data.
• Strong stakeholder management skills: able to translate between engineering, product, and executive audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Power BI source integration or similar third-party BI connectivity.
• Exposure to AI-powered analytics or visualisation tooling.
• Experience with dbt, Airflow, or modern data orchestration tools.
• Background in a SaaS or multi-product environment where data is fragmented across systems.
• Prior experience in financial data, market data, or fintech,  relevant to TRG Screen's domain
