Sr. Product Manager - Data Platform
Posted Updated
Description
Responsibilities:
- Own the core data platform end-to-end: ingestion, pipelines, storage, and the analytics/reporting substrate every other product line builds on.
- Partner with engineering and data teams to turn raw operational and clinical data into a reliable, scalable foundation other SPMs and teams can build on top of.
- Define and own the metrics that describe platform health and value: data quality, latency, coverage, downstream adoption.
- Operate with a bias for action in ambiguous, often spec-less territory; a lot of what you build has no customer directly asking for it.
- Bring structured, analytical thinking to trade-offs between build velocity, data quality, and long-term scalability.
- Represent downstream consumers (product, DL, QA, CS) internally, building for how the platform will actually be used, not just what's architecturally clean.
- Drive build decisions with a clear ROI lens: size the cost/impact of a platform investment before committing, and track whether the bet paid off.
Requirements:
- 6+ years in product management, ideally with hands-on experience in data engineering, analytics, or analytics engineering before moving into PM.
- Proven track record of building or owning a significant component of a data platform: pipelines, ingestion, warehousing; not just consuming one.
- Strong analytical skills and ability to break down complex, multi-variable problems into structured, logical solutions.
- Deep understanding of prioritization, trade-offs, and stakeholder management in fast-paced environments.
- Bias for action: moves on incomplete information rather than waiting for a clean spec.
- Excellent cross-functional communication.
