Job Description
Position Purpose:
This role leads Kraft Heinz's Data Architecture chapter presence in GCC India, managing all Data Architects and Sr. Data Architects based in that location across every domain the chapter supports. Unlike the domain-facing Group Lead roles, this position carries overall accountability for the GCC team’s collective delivery and quality rather than ownership of any single technical work stream — partnering closely with onsite Data Architecture leads to align staffing and ensure seamless delivery, and driving stabilization of the chapter’s operating routines and progress tracking. This role reports to the Director, Data, AI & Digital Innovation – GCC, with a dotted-line relationship to the Global Head of Data Products & Platforms that functions as the role’s primary day-to-day partnership for chapter priorities.
Essential Functions and Responsibilities:
- Manage the GCC India Data Architecture team members and their deliverables across all domains, ensuring consistent quality, standards adherence, and career development for each team member.




- Partner closely with onsite Data Architecture leads to assess their staffing needs, allocate GCC resources accordingly, and ensure seamless, timely delivery against each domain’s priorities.
- Diagnose gaps in the chapter’s operating routines — stand-ups, governance forums, progress tracking — across onsite and GCC time zones, and design consistent cadences that keep delivery visible and risks surfaced early.
- Assess the Data Architecture chapter’s operating maturity against target-state practices — standards adoption, onboarding, quality processes — and build the playbooks and feedback loops needed to close the gaps.
- Serve as the primary liaison between the Director, Data, AI & Digital Innovation – GCC, and the Global Head of Data Products & Platforms, aligning GCC operational/administrative requirements with the chapter’s technical and delivery priorities.
- Manage, mentor, and develop the GC
