Who are we? 

At Newcross Healthcare, we’re transforming healthcare through innovation, technology, and education—driven by our values of Integrity, Respect, Empathy, and Teamwork. We combine technology, insight, and human compassion to empower healthcare professionals and improve outcomes for those who need care most. 

Now, we’re looking for an exceptional Data Product Manager to join our Team and play a pivotal role in driving our next phase of growth and innovation.

Who are you? 

We’re looking for an experienced Data Product Manager to lead a focused data migration and ETL delivery programme within our internal platform team.

This is a hands-on contract role suited to someone who thrives in delivery-focused environments, can confidently manage agile data teams, and has strong experience driving migration projects from planning through to cutover. 

Working closely with a Senior Product Manager, you’ll take ownership of day-to-day delivery activities — managing sprint execution, stakeholder communication, backlog prioritisation, and ensuring high-quality delivery across SME-scale structured data migration initiatives. 

This role is fully remote and offers the opportunity to work within a collaborative product and engineering environment on a business-critical transformation programme.

Delivery & Sprint Management

• Lead fortnightly sprint planning and delivery with a team of data engineers
  
• Own and prioritise the ETL and migration backlog
  
• Define user stories, acceptance criteria, and delivery milestones
  
• Track progress, manage risks, and escalate blockers where required
  
• Coordinate delivery across engineering, QA, and business stakeholders
  
• Ensure smooth end-to-end migration execution including testing and cutover activities 
  

ETL & Data Migration

• Translate business requirements into actionable technical specifications
  
• Work closely with engineers on ETL pipelines, transformation logic, and data mapping
  
• Maintain strong data quality standards throughout the migration lifecycle
  
• Manage discovery, transformation, testing, and deployment phases
  
• Identify data dependencies, lineage, and downstream impacts
  

Stakeholder Management

• Act as the primary day-to-day contact for internal business stakeholders
  
• Deliver regular project updates and steering communications
  
• Facilitate workshops, requirement gathering, and sign-off sessions
  
• Manage expectations around scope, timelines, and dependencies
  
• Partner closely with the Senior PM to align delivery with wider platform strategy
  

Collaboration & Ways of Working

• Embed within the internal platform team and existing agile processes
  
• Work autonomously with minimal oversight
  
• Contribute to retrospectives and process improvements
  
• Maintain clear documentation of decisions, assumptions, and outcomes
  

What We’re Looking For: 

Essential 

• Strong, demonstable experience in Product Management with a focus on data, integration, or platform products
  
• Proven experience delivering ETL or data migration projects
  
• Strong agile delivery experience including sprint planning, backlog management, and stakeholder ceremonies
  
• Ability to translate complex data requirements into prioritised engineering tasks
  
• Experience working closely with data engineers and technical architects
  
• Strong understanding of:
  
• Data schemas
  
• Transformations
  
• Data quality validation
  
• Migration planning
  
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  
• Self-starter with the ability to hit the ground running in a contract environment 
  

• Experience within healthcare, staffing, or regulated SME environments
  
• SQL knowledge and confidence interrogating datasets
  
• Exposure to:
  
• Databricks
  
• Azure Data Factory
  
• dbt
  
• Similar ETL tooling
  
• Familiarity with BI/data warehousing concepts including Power BI or Tableau
