Demand for Data Leadership roles
New Data Leadership postings at the employers we follow are up 7% over the last 5 weeks compared with the 5 before.
Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 5 weeks.
Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.
About the role
We file this job under Data Leadership, by the work the posting describes.
Data leaders run data teams or design how a company's data fits together. Managers hire, set priorities and answer for whether the data work pays off; architects choose the systems and the shape of the data.
Expect years of hands-on data work, experience leading people or projects, and the ability to explain tradeoffs to executives.
Unlike a senior engineer or analyst, most of a data leader's week goes to people, planning and decisions rather than building.

Job description
Description
Associate Principal, Data Products
Remote (U.S.) | Full-Time
About Us
Cortico-X was built on a simple belief: what’s best for people is what’s best for the organization. We help leaders turn that belief into action by connecting insight, strategy, and transformation in ways that create stronger experiences and better business outcomes.
This is not consulting for consulting’s sake. Our work is designed to move organizations forward by helping them make smarter decisions, align around what matters most, and turn human understanding into real change.
We are building a different kind of firm for the AI era — one that treats human experience as a strategic advantage, not a side consideration. If that kind of work energizes you, read on.
The Opportunity
Cortico-X is seeking an Associate Principal to lead data product strategy and advisory for our clients. In this role, you'll work directly with senior client stakeholders to understand their business challenges and design transformative data and AI solutions. While technical fluency is essential, this is primarily a strategic and client-facing role—you'll guide technical teams and validate approaches, but your focus is on client leadership, solution design, and delivery management.
What You’ll Do
Client Leadership & Strategy
- Serve as a trusted advisor to C-suite and VP-level stakeholders
- Lead discovery sessions to identify data and AI opportunities
- Translate business objectives into technical roadmaps and solution architectures
- Present recommendations and solution demos to executive audiences
- Build strong client relationships and identify opportunities to expand engagements
Product Design & Advisory
- Apply design thinking to create user-centric data products
- Design end-to-end solutions that balance value, feasibility, and risk
- Define product roadmaps and phased delivery plans that show quick wins
- Ensure alignment with best practices in data governance, security, and ethical AI
Team Leadership & Technical Guidance
- Lead cross-functional teams of data engineers, data scientists, and analysts
- Provide direction on data architecture, modeling, pipelines, and platform selection
- Guide teams working with modern data stacks (Spark, SQL, Databricks, cloud platforms)
- Build occasional prototypes or POCs to validate approaches (helpful but not required)
- Conduct quality reviews to ensure deliverables meet client expectations
Requirements
What You’ll Bring
Experience
- 7–10 years in data/AI consulting, product management, or data engineering
- 3+ years in client-facing advisory roles
- Proven success managing senior stakeholder relationships and leading technical teams

Technical Knowledge
- Strong understanding of data architecture, modeling, and modern data platforms
- Working knowledge of SQL, Spark, and cloud ecosystems (Databricks, Snowflake, AWS/GCP/Azure)
- Solid grasp of AI/ML concepts and implementation approaches
- Ability to evaluate technical approaches and guide engineering teams
Advisory & Consulting Skills
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills
- Strong facilitation skills for workshops and stakeholder alignment
- Experience with design thinking, agile delivery, and product management frameworks
- Strategic problem-solving abilities and comfort managing multiple engagements
Personal Qualities
- Executive presence and credibility with senior leaders
- Collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset
- Comfort with ambiguity and fast-paced environments
