For restaurant partners, ezCater helps grow their business by bringing them new high-value customers and large orders.</span></p></div><p>We are looking for a Senior Data Product Manager to own the data foundation behind how ezCater fulfills&nbsp;and delivers catering orders. Fulfillment is one of the most data-rich and operationally complex parts of our&nbsp;business, spanning demand and capacity signals, partner and driver assignment, pickup and delivery&nbsp;execution, and the events and telemetry generated at every step across internal systems and external&nbsp;delivery partners.</p> <p>This is a build-from-the-ground-up role on a new, senior-sponsored initiative. You will own the data asset for&nbsp;fulfillment as a product — the canonical model of the domain, the metrics architecture on top of it, and the&nbsp;governed data products and signals that power analytics and the models behind intelligent routing, risk&nbsp;scoring, and service-level decisions. You will own the “what and why,” with engineering and architecture&nbsp;owning the “how.”</p> <p>You will work alongside a principal product lead for the overall initiative and a dedicated engineering team,&nbsp;and partner closely with delivery operations, analytics, data platform engineering, and data architecture.&nbsp;Your first job is to turn a complex operational domain into a clear, trusted, extensible data foundation that&nbsp;every downstream capability compounds on.</p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>What You'll Do: </strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Own the fulfillment data asset as a product. </strong>Define and continuously refine the vision and strategy for the&nbsp;fulfillment data domain. Treat it as a product with real users, real adoption, and real return — measured&nbsp;against a clear North Star. Connect it to the broader Enterprise Data and company roadmaps.&nbsp;</li> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Own the canonical model and its evolution. </strong>Take ownership of the canonical fulfillment lifecycle model — events, entities, relationships, and the happy, alternate, and exception paths — and evolve it from a V1 definition into the authoritative reference the whole initiative builds against. Partner with a business analyst and subject matter experts to get it right, then keep it current as the domain grows.</li> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Own the metrics architecture. </strong>Define the metrics architecture on top of the canonical model —operational, capability, geographic, coverage, and performance views that roll up to network-health signals&nbsp;and drill down to micro-moments across the order lifecycle. Anchor it on the metrics that matter most:&nbsp;customer-facing reliability, timeliness, accuracy, and total cost to serve.</li> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Build governed, trusted data products.</strong> Own the definition of what makes a fulfillment data product trusted and production-ready, and deliver the P0 analytics and platform data products the rest of the initiative depends on.&nbsp;Design for multiple consumption paths — analytics and self-service, direct query, and the&nbsp;telemetry and signals that flow back into models.</li> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Feed the models that power the platform. </strong>Ensure the data foundation reliably serves the machine-learning and decisioning workloads behind intelligent routing, pickup-time prediction, risk scoring, and&nbsp;service-level differentiation. Define the signals, telemetry, and feedback loops these models need, and the&nbsp;contracts for delivering them.</li> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Drive delivery and predictability. </strong>Decompose work into small, estimable data-product units. Drive credible,&nbsp;dated commitments and milestone-level goals rather than open-ended task lists, make trade-offs across&nbsp;value, effort, risk, and timing explicit, and keep dependencies and risks visible in integrated plans.</li> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Own reliability, quality, and cost.</strong> Treat data health as a product promise — freshness, accuracy, and&nbsp;success service levels, with strong observability and fast resolution of data incidents. Be mindful of the unit&nbsp;economics of what you build.</li> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Drive adoption and outcomes. </strong>Validate data products against real usage with their business owners before build, drive adoption and change management, own documentation and enablement, measure&nbsp;business impact, and adjust the roadmap accordingly.</li> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Connect to the broader data platform. </strong>Frame this work as a domain built on the Enterprise Data Hub and&nbsp;its governed semantic layer, not a parallel stack. Partner with the data platform team so the fulfillment<br>domain lands on the shared foundation and benefits from its governance, cataloging, and semantic layer&nbsp;rather than reinventing them.</li> <li style="line-height: 1.5;"><strong>Partner and enable.&nbsp;</strong>Operate as a peer to engineering and architecture and as the connective tissue across&nbsp;delivery operations, analytics leaders, the principal initiative lead, and business stakeholders. Be the&nbsp;authoritative expert on the fulfillment data domain — its model, capabilities, constraints, and data flows.</li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>What You Have<
