Lead Product Manager

We are on the hunt for a Lead Product Manager to join our team. This role is built to extend the reach of the leader accountable for Strategy & Governance for the Data organization, coordinating leadership updates, presentations, and cross-functional communication, while also directly owning the roadmaps for two organization-critical products currently under active strategic overhaul: the work-intake, prioritization, and funding platform, and the self-service data platform. As the product lead, you'll drive both roadmaps to completion, build and defend a consistent prioritization framework that governs trade-offs across them, and give leadership a single, trustworthy view of investment and delivery. You'll also serve as a force-multiplier for your manager, running the cadence of updates, preparing them for key conversations, and translating their priorities into decisions the team can execute against.
