THE TEAM We’re a lean crew of business-savvy technologists who prototype first and perfect later. Our charter is to uncover opportunity, launch Version 0.1 in days, measure real-world impact, then iterate without ego. We mix cutting-edge tools with brilliantly low-tech hacks -whatever accelerates the outcome. Data collaboration is a strategic pillar of how Zeta works with its largest and most security-conscious clients. We’re looking for a leader who can own that pillar end to end: evolving the platform, expanding it across cloud ecosystems, and turning deep technical capability into a scalable, go-to-market offering. THE ROLE 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 (e.g., AWS- and Databricks-based architectures) 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. WHY ZETA'S DATA CLOUD ACCELERATION TEAM Velocity: Your GenAI ideas hit users in weeks. Stack freedom: No six-month procurement hurdles - pick the vendor or OSS model that fits. Breadth: Projects range from ad-tech optimization to identity resolution to creative signal mining. Growth loop: Every win feeds back into a playbook you own and evolve. Distributed culture: Work where you’re most effective - sync live when it matters, async when it doesn’t. RESPONSIBILITIES Leadership experience owning a data platform, product, or technical domain end to end. Hands-on experience with secure data sharing or collaboration patterns (e.g., cleanrooms, zero-copy architectures, policy-based access, governed computation). Strong background ...
