About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the data collaboration platform: Act as the single-threaded owner for Zeta’s data collaboration product = responsible for stability, scalability, security posture, and long-term evolution across cloud architectures.
Evolve the architecture beyond its current foundation: Build on today’s cleanroom-based implementation and design equivalent capabilities across additional cloud and data platforms while preserving zero-copy, security, and enterprise trust guarantees.
Set and drive the roadmap: Define, prioritize, and execute a roadmap that balances client demand, technical feasibility, platform reuse, and long-term strategic value.
Build the support and operating model: Create the scalable support structure required to operate the platform at enterprise scale - documentation, patterns, tooling, escalation paths, and operational readiness.
Stay hands-on where it matters: Be technical enough to design and implement secure data collaboration workflows, including cleanroom-style patterns, access controls, and policy-driven computation.
Partner on go-to-market strategy: Work closely with product, sales, and client-facing teams to position data collaboration offerings, shape messaging, support complex deals, and ensure the platform is both sellable and deliverable.
Raise the internal bar: Build deep institutional knowledge around data collaboration: run enablement sessions, publish internal playbooks, and serve as the go-to expert across engineering, product, and GTM teams.
Measure what matters: Define success metrics - adoption, client outcomes, reliability, revenue impact - and use them to guide investment, iteration, and deprecation decisions.
