Senior Product Manager, Data Platform (Remote)

Platform Product Strategy and Vision

You will define and continuously refine the platform's vision and product strategy, grounded in company and Enterprise Data goals, and connect it to the broader data and company roadmaps. Partner with principal and staff engineers on long-term technical direction and trade-offs so product and technical strategy stay tightly aligned.

Multi-quarter, Multi-team Roadmap

• Balance foundational work — architecture evolution, trusted and scalable platform services, the semantic and presentation layers, governance, classification and access, cost and observability — with high-leverage use cases across analytics, self-service, and AI and natural-language consumption.
• Account for machine-learning and data-science workloads as part of the overall strategy, so the same foundation serves them without forcing parallel, ungoverned pipelines.

Capability and Governance Charter

Own the definition of what makes a data product trusted and production-ready: classification and protection of sensitive information, role-based access aligned to classification, validation and contracts between raw and refined layers, a governed semantic and metrics layer, and a catalog that makes data products discoverable with clear ownership, lineage, and definitions. Codify policy into the platform rather than into documentation, and define the lightweight “definition of done” every data product meets before it ships.

Consumption Experience, End to End

• Own how platform capabilities surface for the people who use them: governed self-service, business intelligence, and AI and natural-language experiences grounded on trusted data.
• Define the contracts between the platform and its consumers — readiness criteria, service levels, semantic definitions, and serving surfaces — so consumption is fast, safe, and genuinely self-serve, and so teams stop rebuilding shadow models off ungoverned data.

AI and Natural-Language Readiness

Ensure the platform’s governed, semantic models are the grounding layer for AI and natural-language analytics. Partner on the evaluation of analytics and AI tooling, and work through guardrails, accuracy, latency, and trust so the business can rely on the answers these tools produce. Ensure the same foundation meets machine-learning and data-science needs — reliable data access, performance, and monitoring.

Migration and Legacy Sunset

• Lead the move from the legacy environment onto the platform: reconcile the most depended-on legacy data against trusted sources, plan and resource the cutover with each business area (including user-acceptance testing and the refactoring of downstream reporting), and sunset legacy — recognizing that some legacy will run in parallel during the transition.
• Sequence the work by business domain.

Delivery and Predictability

• Decompose work into small, estimable data-product units that ship on the order of a week once defined.
• Drive credible, dated commitments and milestone-level goals rather than open-ended task lists, make trade-offs across value, effort, risk, and timing explicit, and keep dependencies and risks visible in integrated plans.

Reliability, Operability, and Cost

• Own platform health as a product promise — freshness and success service levels, availability, and fast detection and resolution of data incidents through strong observability.
• Own the platform’s unit economics: cost per unit of consumption, the consumption model, and the cost of running legacy and the new platform in parallel.

Adoption and Outcomes

• Treat adoption as the job, not an afterthought. Validate data products against real usage with their business owners before build, drive adoption and change management, own documentation and enablement, measure business impact, and adjust the roadmap accordingly.

The Platform’s North Star and Metrics

Define, instrument, and report the platform’s North Star and the metric tree beneath, use it to prioritize the roadmap, and use it to tell the platform’s story to leadership.

Partnership and Enablement

• Operate as a peer to engineering and architecture, and as the connective tissue across embedded data product managers, analytics leaders, governance, and business stakeholders.
• Be the authoritative expert on the platform — its architecture, capabilities, constraints, and data flows.
• Raise the bar for data-platform product management: enable data product managers and partners to define products against the architecture, evolve platform product practices, and mentor others to “think in products.”
