Data Catalog Product VP

JPMorgan Chase JPMorgan Chase · Banking · LONDON, LONDON, United Kingdom · Corporate Sector

Product VP for a Data Catalog team at JPMorgan Chase, focusing on building a unified data marketplace for data scientists, ML engineers, and business users. The role involves defining vision and strategy for discovery, designing a multi-channel experience (UI, API, Agents), and championing both data producers and consumers. Key responsibilities include owning the product lifecycle, leading UX/service design, architecting an API-first platform, integrating with AI tools like Claude and Copilot, and collaborating with engineering and data science teams. Requires strong technical product management experience, UX/service design sensibility, multi-channel delivery, and data infrastructure knowledge. Experience with agentic AI patterns, RAG, tool-use, and search relevance is preferred.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define the multi-year product vision and roadmap for firmwide data discovery serving data scientists, ML engineers, analytics engineers, and increasingly business users.
  2. Lead the UX and service design vision — intuitive, fast, and delightful across all touchpoints.
  3. Architect an API-first platform powering a beautiful web UI today and programmatic access for code-first engineers.
  4. Producers: Make it effortless to publish, document, version, and maintain datasets with rich metadata, automated quality profiling, and governance guardrails.
  5. Consumers: Reduce friction from discovery to access — self-service provisioning, entitlement workflows, one-click integration with SageMaker, Databricks, and EMR.

Skills

Required

  • 8+ years in technical product management delivering catalog, marketplace, or discovery platforms from ideation to production at scale.
  • Deep UX & service design sensibility — passion to build clear, intuitive and scalable UI experiences.
  • Multi-channel product delivery — shipped across web UI, API, and/or conversational/agent-based interfaces.
  • Technical depth in data infrastructure — data catalogs, metadata management, governance frameworks, data quality tooling.
  • Strong communication — translate technical complexity into clear narratives for engineers, designers, and executives.
  • Prioritisation at scale — balance competing demands across a large stakeholder base by weighing business impact, user value, and technical feasibility.

Nice to have
