GLOBAL EDA PRODUCT OWNER

Job Description

For more than a century, L'Oréal has devoted itself solely to one business: Beauty. Present in 150 countries across five continents and with €42 billion consolidated sales, L'Oréal is the global industry leader. With 37 global beauty brands across four divisions, L'Oréal offers beauty for each covering all beauty categories and catering to all beauty desires. With the acquisition of the Australian brand Aēsop in 2023, the Group continues to expand its portfolio through targeted acquisitions as part of its drive to create the future of beauty.

The Global EDA Product Owner is responsible for the success of EDA, APIGE products that enable simple, secure and scalable data exchange across the Group. These products include business APIs, event streams, integration services, templates, connectors and self‑service assets used by multiple internal teams. You drive the identification, marketing, enablement and acceleration of EDA use cases built on the Confluent platform, working in close partnership with the EDA Platform Owner. This evolving role will grow in scope and seniority from activating the first wave of use cases to eventually owning the full EDA product vision and shaping the next generation of real‑time, event‑driven capabilities at enterprise scale.

Reporting line: Global Architecture Solution & Engineering Lead.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify EDA use cases: proactively engage with business and tech teams to surface, qualify and prioritize use cases that benefit from an event‑driven approach.
• Market and evangelize EDA capabilities: build and execute an internal go‑to‑market strategy for the EDA platform including demos, playbooks, success stories and communication assets.
• Enable use case delivery: act as the primary enabler for teams onboarding onto the EDA platform; provide guidance, reusable event design patterns, self‑service tooling and documentation.
• Accelerate EDA adoption: identify recurring event patterns, challenge one‑off implementations and transform successful use cases into reusable EDA products available in the event catalog.
• Position EDA within the broader integration landscape: advise teams on when event‑driven patterns are the right choice versus APIs, iPaaS or batch.
• Own the EDA product backlog: structure and prioritize the backlog, write and refine user stories, and work with the squad to deliver MVPs and iterations.
• Productize and industrialize EDA assets: ensure that event streams and connectors are documented, versioned, catalogued and SLA‑bound.
• Coordinate with platform, security and data governance teams to ensure compliance with architecture, security and regulatory requirements.
• Monitor EDA product KPIs (adoption, throughput, incidents, consumer count) and drive continuous improvement.
• Contribute to documentation, release notes, demos and training to support onboarding of new EDA consumers and producers.

Key Requirements

• 8‑12 years of experience in integration and/or product management in a large complex organization.
• Strong background in integration at large: event streaming, APIs, iPaaS, messaging and batch flows.
• Proven ability to drive technology adoption and build go‑to‑market strategies for internal platforms.
• Experience working in global, distributed environments.

• Solid understanding of integration concepts: APIs (REST/GraphQL), iPaaS (e.g. Workato), batch/ETL, messaging and how EDA complements them.
• Deep knowledge of EDA concepts: Kafka topics, partitions, consumer groups, schemas, connectors, stream processing (ksqlDB / Flink).
• Experience working with iPaaS solutions and challenge high‑level technical designs.
• Practical experience with agile tools and documentation (Confluence, AsyncAPI, event catalog tooling).

• Strong product mindset: focus on value, reuse and internal customer satisfaction.
• Evangelist profile: able to market complex technical capabilities in a compelling way to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Excellent communication skills, able to simplify complex topics for non‑technical audiences.
• Strong stakeholder management to drive adoption without formal authority.
• Team player, able to collaborate effectively with the EDA Platform Owner and align on priorities.
• Analytical and structured, able to prioritize, make trade‑off decisions and manage uncertainty.

Success Will Be Measured By

• Progressive simplification of the integration landscape through EDA‑driven decoupling.
• Number of EDA use cases identified, qualified and successfully activated across the Group.
• Increase in adoption metrics: active Confluent topics, consumer teams onboarded, event throughput.
• Growth of the reusable EDA product catalog (event schemas, connectors, reference patterns).
• Positive feedback from internal customers on EDA Products and support.
• Alignment of EDA platform evolution with IT2030 strategic objectives.

Benefits & EEO Statement

• Allows employees to have a real impact, test ideas, innovate and build the future.
