Data Platform Delivery Director

ROLE MANDATE

Build and lead the delivery system that turns NXP enterprise data foundations into trusted, reusable Gold data products. The Director owns a multi-team Foundation delivery organization and orchestrates a federated network of business-domain Gold delivery teams across Finance, Supply Chain, Sales, and other domains. The role is accountable for predictable delivery, end-to-end integration, and cross-domain harmonization so that Gold products work as one enterprise data ecosystem rather than as isolated domain solutions.

Role Overview

The Data Platform Delivery Director is responsible for the delivery and evolution of NXP's One Data Platform and the operating model that connects enterprise Foundation capabilities with business-owned Gold data products. This leader manages approximately six delivery teams, typically five to six members each, spanning data engineering, platform engineering, data management, product delivery, and platform operations. The role also coordinates multiple business-side Gold delivery teams that operate as federated spokes and may sit outside the Director's direct reporting line.

Success requires equal strength in:

• scaled delivery leadership
• enterprise data architecture
• product operating models
• influence across organizational boundaries

The Director establishes clear release contracts from Foundation to Gold, aligns sequencing and dependencies among teams, and ensures that data products created by individual domains conform to shared enterprise standards, canonical definitions, and interoperability requirements.

Key Responsibilities

1. Lead a Scaled, Multi-Team Delivery Organization: Provide leadership for approximately six delivery teams, generally five to six members per team, covering the Foundation data layer, platform services, data engineering, data management enablement, and operations.
2. Establish the Hub-and-Spoke Data Product Delivery Model: Design and operationalize a hub-and-spoke model in which the central Foundation organization provides reusable platform capabilities, data ingestion, certified foundational data, common services, controls, and enablement to business-domain Gold teams.
3. Harmonize Gold Data Products Across Business Domains: Own the cross-domain harmonization process for Gold data products and ensure that products developed independently can be combined and consumed consistently across enterprise use cases.
4. Own Foundation-to-Gold Release Integration: Define and manage the release interface between Foundation capabilities and Gold data products, including versioned data contracts, readiness criteria, backward compatibility, dependency sequencing, testing, and release communications.
5. Deliver and Evolve the One Data Platform: Lead the deployment and evolution of NXP's One Data Platform, including data storage and exchange, provisioning, platform operations, Databricks adoption, and self-service enablement.
6. Enable Data Management, Marketplace, and Governance: Enable enterprise capabilities for cataloging, metadata, lineage, asset registration, business glossary, ownership, stewardship, and data quality relationships.
7. Manage Stakeholders, Portfolio, and Business Outcomes: Partner with senior leaders in Finance, Supply Chain, Sales, IT, Data Governance, Architecture, and business transformation teams to translate priorities into an executable, integrated portfolio.

Experience and Qualifications

Master's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Data Analytics, Mathematics, Engineering, Statistics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Typically 10-15 years of relevant experience, including leadership of multiple data, platform, software, or product delivery teams in a complex global enterprise.

• Enterprise orchestrator
• Scaled delivery leader
• Influential collaborator
• Product and platform thinker
• Decisive harmonizer
