Collaborate with Innovative 3Mers Around the World
The Impact You'll Make in this Role
This is a delivery leadership role - not a hands-on engineering position. As Manager, Data Product Engineering, you will build and lead a high-performing data engineering team, manage cross-functional stakeholder relationships, and drive execution across 3M's Enterprise Finance data product portfolio. Your team delivers the data integration and transformation layer that moves financial data from 19+ ERP source systems through the AWS Lakehouse into the applications that Finance, Tax, and Treasury depend on. The immediate priority is the OneStream Lakehouse integration - a highly visible, close-critical program supporting 3M's financial close across 14 countries - and the role also owns the delivery roadmap for the broader Finance domain, including Tax data modernization, Treasury analytics, and downstream financial reporting. As a Manager, Data Product Engineering, you will have the opportunity to tap into your curiosity and collaborate with some of the most innovative and diverse people around the world. Here, you will make an impact by:
- Building, leading, and developing a team of data engineers - setting clear goals, removing blockers, coaching for growth, and creating accountability so the team runs well even when you are not in the room
- Owning the delivery plan and execution cadence for the OneStream Lakehouse integration (19+ ERP source systems, phased tranches, validated and deployed to production) - managing scope, schedule, risk, and dependencies, and escalating early
- Partnering directly with Finance Transformation, the Finance CPO, and Tax/Treasury leadership to align on requirements and priorities, and representing Data Engineering in Recovery Plan meetings, SteerCo updates, and Finance portfolio reviews
- Delivering data products across the broader Finance portfolio - financial consolidation, Tax data modernization, Treasury analytics, and financial reporting - while supporting adjacent programs as portfolio priorities evolve
- Ensuring the team delivers SOX-compliant, audit-ready data products for close-critical financial systems, driving the DQ Validation Framework, and owning risk identification and mitigation across your delivery portfolio
Your Skills and Expertise
To set you up for success in this role from day one, 3M requires (at a minimum) the following qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a Technology field (completed and verified prior to start)
- Five (5) years of experience in data engineering or data product delivery, with increasing levels of responsibility, in a private, public, government or military environment
Additional qualifications that could help you succeed even further in this role include:
- Technical fluency in cloud-based data platforms (AWS preferred), Lakehouse/Medallion architectures, and modern data engineering tools - enough to make informed decisions, review your team's work, and speak credibly to architects and engineers
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional delivery, coordinating across engineering, business, and vendor teams (e.g., Accenture, Finit) to ship on time
- Strong communication skills - able to run a meeting, write an executive status update, and have a hard conversation with a stakeholder
- Experience mentoring, coaching, or informally leading engineers (formal people management experience not required)
- Background in financial data, ERP integration (SAP HANA, SAP BW, S/4HANA), or close-critical data systems, with an understanding of SOX compliance and financial close processes
- Exposure to Databricks, Snowflake, and/or Apache Iceberg in an enterprise environment; relevant AWS, Databricks, or Snowflake certifications are a plus
- Bias for action and execution - you move things forward and don't wait to be told
