Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Drive scrum delivery and orchestrate workflows between data engineering pods, business leads, and semantic layer leads to scale a centralized data repository. Manage project schedules, KPIs, and technical backlogs to ensure the delivery of a scalable enterprise data foundation.
Requires 5-7+ years of experience in technical project management or Agile delivery with proven leadership at the Director/Sr. Director level. Proficiency in cloud data platforms, ERP/CRM tools, and Agile software is required, with CSM, PSM, or PMP certifications preferred.
Agile/Scrum Leadership: Facilitate daily stand-ups, end-of-day scrum check-ins, and manage structured 2-week sprint cycles across parallel technical and business-facing streams.
Cross-Functional Orchestration: Act as the primary connective tissue between the Business Leads (defining data requirements), Data Engineers (building the ingestion pipelines), and Semantic Layer Leads (structuring data for performance and accessibility).
Execution & Delivery: Shepherd the ingestion, pipelining, and modeling of new enterprise data sources (e.g., integrating SAP, Salesforce) into the centralized cloud data foundation.
Semantic & Data Scaling: Coordinate the deepening and optimization of established data domains with a heavy focus on data quality, standard definition mapping, metrics governance, and business-facing consumption layers.
End-to-End Project Governance: Define, track, and manage comprehensive project schedules, critical path milestones, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure predictable delivery timelines.
Scope & Resource Management: Monitor project scope ruthlessly to prevent scope creep, managing technical backlog refinement and ensuring resources are optimally allocated across technical pods.
Risk & Dependency Management: Proactively identify technical roadblocks, map cross-functional dependencies between engineering and semantic modeling, and deliver actionable, data-driven status updates to project leadership.
Communication & Reporting: Serve as the central point of contact for project status, translating technical velocity and delivery metrics into clear, structured progress reports for stakeholders and leadership.
Culture Alignment: Drive a culture of immediate resolution—jumping into a huddle or sending a quick chat to resolve alignment issues dynamically rather than drawing out decisions over long email threads.
Delivering Transformation
At Hazel Seybert, our mission is to help businesses grow by solving issues with people, processes and productivity. This includes opportunities such as process improvement, operational efficiency, workforce redesign/planning, and business project management. We believe that world-class business consultation must go beyond mere recommendation; it must be executed. Our consultant teams are purposely designed to ensure our clients have the best of both worlds; strategic business consulting AND effective implementation. It’s one thing to help a company fix a broken process, complete a product deployment, or realign a workforce to changing business demands. It’s another thing to partner with a company to make sure their strategy is coded in the DNA of every process and project. We use organizational design principles as the framework within which we engage every client. Our partnerships are founded on the belief that organizational health begins with a healthy strategy, which cultivates the health of all policies and practices involving structure, processes, systems, and people.
