About the Role
Lead measurement and instrumentation across Disney's direct-to-consumer experiences, including Disney+ and Hulu. The data collection layer your team designs powers experimentation, data science, and personalization across the business, determining the trustworthiness of engagement and product health data used for decision-making. You will lead a team of Data Product Managers driving DTC instrumentation end-to-end, setting a high bar for exceptional measurement work and staying close to delivery risk.
Responsibilities
- Lead and develop the team, setting the standard for DTC data collection and raising the bar across Product & Technology.
- Own the DTC data collection roadmap across the Disney+ and Hulu product experiences, sequencing by business need and evaluating emerging capabilities.
- Drive execution and stay ahead of delivery risk, balancing speed with long-term telemetry health.
- Write and review instrumentation solution designs (events, parameters, schemas) that feed analytics, experimentation, and ML downstream.
- Own data quality outcomes, closing coverage gaps before downstream teams do, increasingly through AI-assisted monitoring.
- Move the team toward intelligent, contract-based instrumentation that scales coverage automatically and accelerates the engineering lifecycle.
- Partner with Data Engineering, Product Engineering, Product Management, and Business Operations on shared measurement goals.
- Represent the team's strategy to senior leaders across the company.
Requirements
- 8+ years in data product management, data instrumentation, digital analytics implementation, or a closely related field.
- Direct experience leading and developing teams in instrumentation, analytics, or measurement, accountable for performance and the team's standards.
- Fluency with AI tools in your own work, and a track record of raising AI fluency across your team.
- Strong product sense applied to measurement: you've owned strategy and roadmap with clear accountability for outcomes.
- Deep understanding of first-party and third-party measurement across web, mobile, and connected devices, and how instrumentation choices affect downstream quality and trust.
- Hands-on technical depth in instrumentation and analytics implementation on enterprise measurement platforms (AEP/CJA, Amplitude, or comparable), with recent hands-on application, not solely oversight.
- Track record of cross-functional execution across Product Engineering, Product Management, Analytics, QA, and Program teams in matrixed organizations.
- Proficiency in SQL and/or Python for data validation, troubleshooting, and analysis.
- Clear communicator who can translate technical tradeoffs into business terms for any audience, including executives.
- Experience supporting DTC subscription or commerce products at scale: purchase, upgrade, cancellation, or account management analytics.
- Experience building instrumentation for A/B testing and product experimentation at scale.
- Data observability experience: monitoring pipelines for quality, freshness, and schema drift.
- Strong understanding of data governance, privacy, and compliance (GDPR, CCPA) in analytics instrumentation.
- Familiarity with the modern cloud data stack and how analytics data flows downstream.
