Lead Product Manager

We are on the hunt for a Lead Product Manager to join our team. This role is built to extend the reach of the leader accountable for Strategy & Governance for the Data organization, coordinating leadership updates, presentations, and cross-functional communication, while also directly owning the roadmaps for two organization-critical products currently under active strategic overhaul: the work-intake, prioritization, and funding platform, and the self-service data platform.

As the product lead, you'll drive both roadmaps to completion, build and defend a consistent prioritization framework that governs trade-offs across them, and give leadership a single, trustworthy view of investment and delivery. You'll also serve as a force-multiplier for your manager, running the cadence of updates, preparing them for key conversations, and translating their priorities into decisions the team can execute against.

What You'll Do:

• Strategic & Leadership Support.
  • Own the cadence of leadership updates, briefings, and presentations, ensuring your manager's priorities and decisions are communicated clearly and consistently across the org.
  • Prepare materials and talking points ahead of key meetings, leadership reviews, exec updates, cross-functional syncs, anticipating questions and gaps before they surface.
  • Track follow-through on decisions and commitments made on your manager's behalf, chasing action items so nothing drops.
  • Act as a trusted proxy in meetings your manager can't attend, representing their priorities and exercising judgment consistent with their intent.
  • Triage what needs your manager's direct attention versus what you can resolve or delegate without them.
  • Surface organizational friction, risk, or misalignment early, before it becomes a leadership-level problem.
• Product Ownership: Data Products & Platforms.
  • Own the end-to-end roadmap for both the work-intake/prioritization/funding platform and the self-service data platform, and act as the single accountable decision-maker when the two need to move together.
  • Take over the in-flight strategic overhauls of both products, making the calls needed to get stalled redesign work moving again.
  • Define and defend a consistent prioritization framework so decisions rest on stated criteria rather than on who is loudest in the room.
  • Build and maintain the source of truth on investment and delivery across both platforms that leadership relies on.
  • Partner with engineering leads and platform stakeholders to align on scope, sequencing, and trade-offs.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience operating in a strategic operations, executive business partner, or similar role supporting a senior leader, including running meeting cadence, preparing briefings, and following through on commitments.
• 7+ years of product management experience, including ownership of internal or platform tools serving technical/analyst audiences.
• A track record of taking over an ambiguous or stalled initiative and driving it to a shipped, adopted outcome.
• Judgment and discretion to represent a leader's priorities accurately without a fully defined mandate.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, able to translate technical or product detail into a clear narrative for leadership.
• Comfort with context-switching between hands-on product ownership and higher-level organizational coordination.
• Experience spanning both program/portfolio management and product management.

Benefits:

• 401(k).
• Dental Insurance.
• Health insurance.
• Vision insurance.
• We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity, equality, inclusion, and respect for people.
• The salary will be determined based on several factors, including, but not limited to, location, relevant education, qualifications, experience, technical skills, and business needs.

Additional Responsibilities:

• Participate in OP monthly team meetings and participate in team-building efforts.
• Contribute to OP technical discussions, peer reviews, etc.
• Contribute content and collaborate via the OP-Wiki/Knowledge Base.
• Provide status reports to OP Account Management as requested.
