Lead Product Manager
About the role
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.
What You'll Do
Strategic & Leadership Support
- Own the cadence of leadership updates, briefings, and presentations, ensuring your manager's priorities and decisions are communicated clearly and consistently across the org.
- Prepare materials and talking points ahead of key meetings, leadership reviews, exec updates, cross-functional syncs, anticipating questions and gaps before they surface.
- Track follow-through on decisions and commitments made on your manager's behalf, chasing action items so nothing drops.
- Act as a trusted proxy in meetings your manager can't attend, representing their priorities and exercising judgment consistent with their intent.
- Triage what needs your manager's direct attention versus what you can resolve or delegate without them.
- Surface organizational friction, risk, or misalignment early, before it becomes a leadership-level problem.
Product Ownership: Data Products & Platforms
- Own the end-to-end roadmap for both the work-intake/prioritization/funding platform and the self-service data platform, and act as the single accountable decision-maker when the two need to move together.
- Take over the in-flight strategic overhauls of both products, making the calls needed to get stalled redesign work moving again.
- Define and defend a consistent prioritization framework so decisions rest on stated criteria rather than on who is loudest in the room.
- Build and maintain the source of truth on investment and delivery across both platforms that leadership relies on.
- Partner with engineering leads and platform stakeholders to align on scope, sequencing, and trade-offs.
What We're Looking For
- Experience operating in a strategic operations, executive business partner, or similar role supporting a senior leader, including running meeting cadence, preparing briefings, and following through on commitments.
- 7+ years of product management experience, including ownership of internal or platform tools serving technical/analyst audiences.
- A track record of taking over an ambiguous or stalled initiative and driving it to a shipped, adopted outcome.
- Judgment and discretion to represent a leader's priorities accurately without a fully defined mandate.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, able to translate technical or product detail into a clear narrative for leadership.
- Comfort with context-switching between hands-on product ownership and higher-level organizational coordination.
- Experience spanning both program/portfolio management and product management.
