It’s never been a more exciting time to work at a data company building products on mountains of proprietary data. For the last few years, we’ve been continuously innovating on how we leverage AI to meet the next level of customer need, with creativity and speed.This is an execution-first role. You'll partner day-to-day with Engineering to turn priorities into a strong, well-run backlog — writing tickets, unblocking work, tracking down the follow-up nobody else caught, and making sure nothing stalls between teams. We do a lot of our work in ambiguous problem spaces that are being mapped out as we go. Your job is to bring clarity and momentum to the work, not to have all the answers on day one.You'll work closely with a Senior PM who owns the broader strategic picture across two engineering teams. What we need most is someone who can lock into the details, keep things moving, and build trust with engineers and stakeholders along the way. Over time, as you build context and track record, this role has room to grow into more strategic ownership and direct client-facing work.We're intentionally open on background here. We're less focused on whether you've run a product team before and more focused on whether you're a self-starter who's smart, curious, and proactive. A few years of relevant experience is great; what matters most is how you operate.What You'll Be Working OnExecution (the core of this role)Own a clean, prioritized backlog with clear user stories, requirements, acceptance criteria, and scope decisions. Following up until requirements actually landPartner with engineering on solution design and scope, pushing for iterative releases that get value out the door without waiting for perfectSet the team up for productive planning and refinement by coming prepared, not catching up in the roomTrack the metrics that tell you whether something's actually working, and use them to inform what's nextProactively surface risks, blockers, and things that aren't connecting — before they turn into fire drillsStrategy (collaborative, growing over time)Work with Engineering leads and your Senior PM partner to help shape and prioritize problem statementsBuild enough domain fluency — through relentless, good-natured question-asking — to understand not just what you're building, but why it matters and what it unlocks downstreamCommunicate clearly to a range of audiences: writing help docs and release notes, and keeping stakeholders honestly informed on statusAs you grow in the role, take on more direct stakeholder and client conversations — asking the right discovery questions rather than just relaying what Engineering tells youAbout YouRoughly 3-5 years of relevant experience — this can be product management, or another background (engineering, operations, client success, program management) that's built the same musclesProactive, low-ego, and collaborative — you care more about the team's outcomes than individual credit, and you'd rather ask "want me to jump in on this?" than wait to be assignedA strong, clear communicator who shares status and priorities without being asked, and who's comfortable saying "here's where this actually stands"Comfortable moving fast and showing work early, even when it's not fully polished — you'd rather check in on direction than burn a week perfecting something that might be off-trackCurious enough to dig into a technical domain you haven't worked in before and keep asking questions until you genuinely understand itA relationship-builder — engineers trust you, and people don't worry about what's happening on your teamExperience with APIs or technical/data products is a plus, but not requiredIt is not required that you meet each of the above to qualify for consideration.
