Sr Principal Product Owner – Data Management & Integration Services

Job Overview:

Are you ready to redefine how data becomes enterprise intelligence and to own the integration backbone that lets AI act on it?

At Keurig Dr Pepper, we're building the future of data one domain, one signal, one intelligent decision at a time. Great AI doesn't start at the model; it starts at the data and the seams between systems. Our strategy is to converge these patterns into one governed Enterprise Integration Gateway standardize, secure, govern so that trusted, catalog-governed data can be both created and consumed by AI: agents, models, and copilots operating in the flow of work.

We're looking for a product owner who can own both ends: the modern data platform that makes data AI-ready, and the enterprise integration gateway that lets AI discover, govern, and act on that data. If you thrive at the intersection of AI engineering, enterprise integration, and data operations and you want to turn bleeding-edge technology into real business transformation this is your moment.

Your Mission

As the Sr Principal Product Owner Data Management & Integration Services, you will execute KDP's Data Mgmt and AI Data Readiness strategy for next-generation data platforms, and drive the AI integration strategy that optimizes for AI data creation and consumption. You will own the capabilities that acquire, move, standardize, and govern enterprise data from raw ingestion through the Enterprise Integration Gateway (API management, event streaming/CDC, microservices, iPaaS, and agent/MCP patterns) to domain-based data ownership, medallion-architected pipelines, and AI-embedded DataOps. This role is central to KDP's Unified Architecture and to making our data structured and unstructured trusted, discoverable, and ready for an AI-augmented enterprise.

What You'll Do

AI Integration Strategy One Front Door for AI (Emphasis Area)
Drive the AI integration strategy that optimizes for AI data creation (AI-ready ingestion, enrichment, and pipeline generation) and AI data consumption (agents, models, apps, and copilots acting on trusted data).
Own the roadmap for the Enterprise Integration Gateway converging a fragmented estate of ETL, B2B/EDI, API/app, and file-transfer integrations into one governed, composable, enterprise-wide gateway that standardizes, secures, and governs how data and services cross every boundary.
Establish modern integration patterns as the enterprise standard: API management, event streaming / CDC, microservices, iPaaS, and agent frameworks / MCP enabling AI agents (autonomous and assisted, human-in-the-loop), models (reasoning over catalog-governed data), and copilots (in the flow of work via discoverable APIs).
Champion an API-first, microservices strategy: API lifecycle management, REST API design, gateway architecture, event-driven patterns, and API standards (auth, versioning, rate limits, error contracts, observability, deprecation), leading the migration from legacy point-to-point patterns to reusable integration services.

AI Data Readiness & AI Engineering Enablement
Deliver capabilities that make data AI-ready unifying structured and unstructured data, and enabling reasoning over trusted, catalog-governed assets
Execute AI-embedded, AI-augmented DataOps automated governance, anomaly detection, and intelligent metadata discovery treating AI as a force multiplier for pipeline creation, data management, and self-service (e.g., Databricks AI enablement such as Genie, AgentBricks, and Mosaic AI)
Partner with platform/AI engineering to enable ML/feature workloads and AI consumption Unity Catalog-governed models and feature stores, cataloged prompts and datasets for auditability, and discoverable APIs that put trusted data in the flow of work
Execution of Strategic Data Capabilities
Deliver platform capabilities that support raw data ingestion, profiling, and domain-based ownership across the enterprise
Operationalize medallion architecture (Bronze Silver Gold) to support scalable, governed data pipelines fed by enterprise integration flows
Apply the enterprise decision framework (federate to prove value, migrate to optimize and govern) to balance speed-to-value with compute/storage efficiency
Translate business needs into prioritized backlogs and sprint plans that accelerate AI enablement and data readiness

Domain Stewardship & Marketplace Partnership
Enable domain stewards to manage and activate their data assets through platform capabilities and tooling
Partner with the Enterprise Data Marketplace team to ensure seamless integration, lineage, and discoverability of curated, AI-ready data products

Stakeholder Engagement
Collaborate with Enterprise AI Services, business units, data stewards, integration/trading partners, and technical teams to align on governance, access policies, connectivity, and AI-consumption patterns
Facilitate cross-functional collaboration across business, technology, operations, and external vendor/partner teams to deliver high-value data products and dependable integrations

Governance & Compliance
Ensure robust metadata management, lineage tracking, and policy enforcement across all data domains including data-in-motion across every integration boundary (preventing governance gaps at the seams)
Establish data contracts at each system boundary (schema, SLA, classification, owner, glossary references) and an approved connector/pattern catalog that scales self-service without sacrificing consistency
Apply security hardening and compliance discipline (SOX, key management for file transfer, partner security, Zero-Trust access) and align with AI governance for responsible, auditable AI (model inventory, GenAI/RAG and agentic-AI controls)
Support next-generation strategies with Day-1 readiness and go-live integration support
Collaborate with the Data Governance Executive Board / Integration Governance sub-council to align platform, gateway, and AI capabilities with regulatory and business standards

Who You Are
A delivery-focused technologist with expertise across product management, enterprise integration, data operations, and AI enablement
An AI-forward product owner who understands what it takes to make data AI-ready and to let agents, models, and copilots safely create and consume it
A disciplined executor who can translate complex business needs into scalable, well-integrated, well-governed solutions
An integration-minded leader who understands that trusted AI starts with reliable acquisition, movement, and governance of data across systems
A collaborative leader who thrives in cross-functional environments and drives alignment across business, technical, and external partner stakeholders
