- *POSITION OVERVIEW**
- --------------------
The Scrum Master (Manager – Data Products) enables reliable, high\-quality delivery of Ralph Lauren’s enterprise Data Product portfolio, supporting teams that build and operate shared data assets, analytical datasets, and AI\-ready data foundations.
Working closely with Data Product Managers, Data Engineering, Analytics, and Governance teams, this role ensures agile ways of working are applied effectively to data product delivery—improving flow, predictability, transparency, and continuous improvement. The Scrum Master focuses on execution discipline, dependency management, and team effectiveness, while product direction and prioritization remain with Product Managers.
At a manager level, this role brings experience navigating complex data programs, coordinating across multiple data domains, and coaching teams and stakeholders in pragmatic, outcome\-oriented agile practices.

- Ensure visibility into delivery progress, risks, dependencies, and impediments.
2\. Partnership with Data Product Managers
- Work closely with Data Product Managers to support backlog readiness, sprint goals, and delivery cadence.
- Help translate product roadmaps into executable sprint plans without owning prioritization decisions.

3\. Team Coaching \& Continuous Improvement

- Help manage interdependencies across data domains, pipelines, and shared platforms.
- Proactively surface delivery risks, delays, or conflicts to Product Managers and leadership.

5\. Metrics, Reporting \& Delivery Insights
- Track delivery metrics such as sprint predictability, throughput, flow efficiency, and stability.
- Provide insights into delivery health, bottlenecks, and maturity trends.
- Ensure metrics are used to enable transparency and improvement—not enforcement.
- Contribute to leadership reporting with objective views of delivery performance.
6\. Data Ways of Working \& Maturity
- Support adoption of consistent agile delivery practices across data product teams.
