Data Collaboration Lead

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the data collaboration platform: Serve as the primary owner for Zeta’s data collaboration product, ensuring its stability, scalability, security measures, and long-term growth across cloud architectures.

• Advance the architecture beyond its current setup: Enhance the existing cleanroom-based implementation by designing comparable capabilities across various cloud and data platforms while maintaining zero-copy, security, and enterprise trust assurances.

• Establish and drive the roadmap: Define, prioritize, and implement a roadmap that reconciles client needs, technical viability, platform reuse, and long-term strategic benefits.

• Develop the support and operational model: Construct a scalable support framework required to run the platform at an enterprise level—this includes documentation, patterns, tools, escalation procedures, and operational readiness.

• Remain hands-on where necessary: Possess the technical acumen to design and execute secure data collaboration workflows, including cleanroom-style methodologies, access controls, and policy-driven computing.

• Collaborate on go-to-market strategy: Work in close partnership with product, sales, and client-facing teams to effectively position data collaboration offerings, refine messaging, support complex transactions, and ensure the platform is both marketable and deliverable.

• Elevate internal standards: Cultivate extensive institutional knowledge surrounding data collaboration by conducting enablement sessions, publishing internal playbooks, and acting as the primary expert across engineering, product, and GTM teams.

• Measure what matters: Establish success metrics—adoption, client outcomes, reliability, revenue impact—and leverage them to guide investment, iteration, and deprecation strategies.
