About the position

The Product Management team is seeking a seasoned Senior Technical Product Manager (TPM) to drive strategic initiatives and operational excellence across our Data Engineering organization. This role will focus on enabling our data engineering teams to deliver high-impact, scalable solutions that power insights across the business. As a TPM, you'll own the planning and prioritization of our quarterly roadmap, partner closely with engineering leadership to ensure successful execution, and serve as a critical bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders. You will be part of a collaborative and fast-moving team of product leaders who thrive on solving complex infrastructure problems and creating systems that scale with the needs of the organization. This is a highly cross-functional role ideal for someone who understands the complexity of data platforms, communicates effectively at all levels, and can align business goals with engineering capacity to drive focused, value-driven outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Own, develop and maintain the quarterly roadmap for the Data Engineering team by aligning stakeholder needs, evaluating business impact, and ensuring strategic alignment with broader company goals.
  • Collaborate closely with Engineering Managers to support execution of roadmap initiatives-scoping projects, managing dependencies, and ensuring deliverables stay on track.
  • Facilitate clear and proactive communication with internal stakeholders, including regular status updates, milestone reporting, and transparent handling of delays or scope changes.
  • Drive and automate, where appropriate, the intake and prioritization process, ensuring business value is consistently front and center while balancing engineering constraints and capacity.
  • Identify and escalate development blockers or cross-team dependencies early, collaborating with engineering partners to address them while keeping stakeholders informed.
  • Stay deeply informed on the team's technical stack and evolving data architecture to influence roadmap decisions and ensure alignment with long-term platform strategy.
  • Act as the first point of contact for emergent stakeholder requests, assessing value and impact with engineering partners and determining how to respond without disrupting team focus.
  • Ensure that release planning is aligned with both business needs and engineering feasibility, coordinating with partners to deliver value incrementally and predictably.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of product management experience, with 2+ years specifically partnering with data engineering, analytics engineering, or data platform teams.
  • Proven ability to partner effectively with Business Systems Analysts to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.
  • Proven ability to own product roadmaps, manage intake processes, and prioritize technical work in a way that aligns with strategic business objectives.
  • Strong understanding of modern data ecosystems (e.g., data pipelines, warehouses, analytics tools), and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into business value.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to set and manage expectations across technical and non-technical audiences.
  • A bias for clarity and structure in ambiguous environments, with the ability to focus teams on what matters most while adapting to evolving priorities.
  • Familiarity with Agile development processes and comfort attending, but not leading, agile ceremonies to ensure alignment between engineering execution and business priorities.

Benefits

  • Equity for all employees, both when they start and as they continue to grow with us.
  • Career development and corporate giving programs.
  • Employee resource groups (ERGs) and communities.
  • Flexible hybrid model and robust time off policies.
  • Daily free lunch.
  • New car discount.
  • Meditation and fitness apps.
  • Commuting cost coverage.
