Senior Data Product Manager - EPH Digital Products

The Senior Data Product Manager owns a defined area of the EPH product estate - the attributes that enable us to sell a product, from what it's called to how it's identified and how it's sold. You will take your functional direction from the Head of Product Data, and will report indirectly to the Senior Director of EDA. This role complements the existing product management by taking responsibility for a current gap in our data estate: the ingestion and publication of digital product data.

It's an opportunity for a greenfield build - a digital product lifecycle solution to enable publication of digital product data across A&G, Health and Corporate Markets, alongside the existing books and journals data. This is a delivery-first role: you will work closely with EPH business and engineering colleagues and represent EPH's position in cross-team decisions, with a meaningful second strand; coaching and growing the analysts around you.

Your success will be measured by the quality of the decisions you make under ambiguity, the analysts you grow, and - above all - the extent to which the product data you own helps Elsevier go to market more effectively and makes the customer buying experience better. Responsibilities Engage direct and indirect stakeholders to elicit requirements against our evolving product data model and translate these into clear, actionable specifications from concept through to live release.

Capture and articulate business value, ensuring work is prioritised based on outcomes and benefit to Elsevier as a whole. Make prioritisation and scope decisions across maintenance activities, programme delivery, and longer-term roadmap trade-offs. Build strong relationships across business and engineering teams and manage internal consumers through adoption, training, guidance, and documentation.

As the team shifts towards Spec-Driven Development, write tighter, more testable requirements up front - with a core focus on clarity, constraints and success criteria, which improve AI-assisted delivery. Coach and develop junior and mid-level analysts, support onboarding, and contribute to recruitment activities. Take ownership of a defined product area, shaping roadmap priorities, success measures, and long-term planning.

Contribute to data governance practices, system onboarding, and the creation of data and data flow documentation to aid understanding in the wider business. Experience writing clear, well-constrained requirements and specifications, and genuine interest in adapting your practice to AI-assisted delivery methods. A track record of operating independently - owning a product or workstream end-to-end, making prioritisation and scope calls under ambiguity.

Curiosity and sound judgement, with the ability to work effectively from incomplete information and adapt to changing priorities. Proven senior stakeholder management experience across business and engineering teams in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Deep knowledge of data management practices, ideally encompassing master data management (MDM), data governance and metadata management. Practical experience with an MDM platform is advantageous.

Demonstrated experience coaching and developing junior or mid-level analysts. Product management, product owner experience, or familiarity with academic publishing or large federated enterprise MDM environments would be beneficial.
