About the role

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for our internal data lake. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role at the heart of our data organization.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the multi-year data lake product strategy, translating business needs into a prioritized roadmap that balances platform reliability, new integrations, and insight enablement.
• Identify opportunities to consolidate data sources and reduce duplication; communicate vision and trade-offs clearly to executive, engineering, and business audiences.
• Serve as the primary product contact for data consumers across Finance, Marketing, Operations, Sales, and Engineering - running alignment sessions, managing expectations, and negotiating prioritization with senior stakeholders.
• Define and hold the platform team accountable to clear SLAs for data availability and quality.
• Own the intake process for onboarding new data sources - evaluating business value, technical complexity, and downstream impact including schema dependencies, data lineage, and fan-out effects on pipelines and dashboards.
• Partner with Data Engineering to set ingestion standards and champion data cataloging so every dataset is findable and usable across the organization.
• Work with Data Science to prioritize feature store development, training dataset pipelines, and experiment tracking infrastructure based on model roadmap needs.
• Ensure teams have reliable, well-documented access to curated datasets, and co-define success metrics that bridge raw data availability to actionable business intelligence.
• Build and own a comprehensive governance strategy on BigQuery covering data classification, access control (RBAC/column-level security), retention policies, and audit logging.
• Define data ownership models and drive adoption of quality frameworks - profiling, lineage tracking, anomaly detection - while collaborating with Legal and Security.

Requirements

• 7+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years focused on data platform, data infrastructure, or analytics products.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder environments with competing priorities at senior levels.
• Strong understanding of modern data stack concepts: data lakes, warehouses, ELT pipelines, data catalogs, and governance frameworks.
• Hands-on familiarity with Google BigQuery.
• Ability to engage credibly with data engineers and data scientists on technical architecture decisions; excellent communication skills for executive audiences.

Qualifications

• Experience implementing governance frameworks: data mesh, data contracts, or metadata management tools (Dataplex, Collibra, Alation).
• Familiarity with ML platform concepts: feature stores, model registries, training pipelines (Vertex AI, MLflow).
• Background in structured and semi-structured data across diverse source systems (CRM, ERP, product analytics, third-party APIs).
